I tried BCAA's a while back because everybody was suddenly raving about them and I wanted to see what the hype was about. They're pretty cheap so it wasn't much of a risk. When using BCAA's I notice that my recovery times are improved greatly, often shaving a day or even two days off my usual recovery times. I also feel more energetic throughout the day. I believe they contribute towards muscle growth, but I'm not currently taking them as I don't think they're essential for ME. They mix easily with water, often don't even need to stir or shake. The UNFLAVOURED version is cheaper but it tastes foul, sometimes I've gagged while drinking them with just water. Mixing with something like milk, juice or protein shakes hides the taste very well though Goes Well With: Milk, juice, Impact Whey, Dextrose

At first i did not like it but after a week of having it im in love with it. It gives my water a refreshing taste and mixes easily in a bottle, however i would recommend packaging it in a bottle? The powder gets all over my hands as im trying to grab the tiny scoop. Goes Well With: Anything - gallon of water with double strength concentrated juice powder.

Mixes reasonably well, best left for a while for the last lumps to dissolve before drinking. And put the water in first or the powder sticks to the corners of the shaker. Blue raspberry tastes good, if a bit sickly sweet. I'm using to maintain muscle while intermittent fasting so I can't comment on its effectiveness yet. Goes Well With: Water, intermittent fasting

This product is amazing, never before have I come across a more hydrophobic powder. I cannot dilute it, it covers my shaker cup in powder but the water remains almost clear. I put it into a blender and I can just about mix it in at minuscule quantities (5g per L ish). I may buy it in the future to waterproof my boots or if I ever build a submarine. Goes Well With: Plastics, metal, concrete... pretty much anything other than water.

These bcaa's are brilliant, I make a drink with this in conjunction with creatine and it bodes well as a brilliant preworkout! I have tried, Tropical, Watermelon and Berry blast. Tropical by far tastes the best so far, it has a very natural kind of taste. Berry blast tastes nice but it also a little weak, its got the flavour, but following guidelines on how much to use, I found the drink to taste very weak Watermelon tastes amazing, but its just too sweet for me, its so sweet that its almost sickly. Overall I am very pleased with this product and i will be buying tropical again and again Goes Well With: Creatine - Unflavoured
