This BCAA powder has become a regular part of my training routine. It helps reduce soreness and keeps me feeling energized during long workouts. The mixability is great with no clumping, and the flavor is smooth without being overpowering. I’ve noticed better recovery and less muscle fatigue since adding it to my stack. Whether I’m lifting or doing cardio, it gives me a nice edge. Solid product with great results.Ask ChatGPT

I really like this company and all their products I tried so far, and I have tried quite a few!Great quality in a non-flashy, sturdy bag that has a zip-lock. All products have very little or no smell from I could tell and more importantly, they all mixed really well with my drinks. The one that smelled kinda bad was Agmatine.Now, back to BCAA. I didn't know anything about this product but after buying some of their other products they sent me an e-mail asking me to pick a product to receive as a free sample (free shipping too) and all they asked was a review of it! How cool is that?So, after some browsing the list of their products and some online research, I decided on trying the BCAA. They sent me a 100gr bag! First week I didn't get a chance to consume it properly, then started using the suggested 1500mg but once a day. I felt slightly better after workouts but nothing significant. Then I wised up and started using 2-3 times a day, at least one 30-45 minutes before workouts and one about an hour after. Wow, even after only 2 workouts the result was impressive. On non-workout days, I still consume at least one dose but ideally and normally 2 doses. I will increase it to 3 on workout days as suggested on the package.It is, after all, what you are supposed to do, experiment on your own, but, prudently! The smarter and safer way is to start your dose on the small side. For instance, if recommended dosage is 1000mg (1gr) 3 times a day, start with 250mg or 500mg once or twice a day and observe your body's reaction for a few days and see if you notice the expected/anticipated changes or not. If not or very small, then increase the dosage and times, simple as that.I was so impressed with the product that I just ordered another 250g bag. I typically order bigger amounts so I can have a stash of the same supplements at home as well as at work (I hit the Gym right after work) which ensures that I get to take them at the suggested intervals. Along with Glutamine and AAKG, BCAA become a must for me. I have no post-workout soreness and I noticed I can last quite a bit longer in the gym just by taking the above 3. I am 43 and after a solid 60-90 minute workout, I have no problem riding my motorcycle back home. I still feel energetic and alert. Even if I get less than ideal hours of sleep, I noticed I was feeling peppier, sharper, and I am far from a morning person!Remember to consult your doctor beforehand if you have any doubts, or if you experience any issues after taking any kind of supplement. So far, no issues with any of the supplements from this vendor, very impressed with the company, their prices, their customer service and of course, their products.Highly recommended!My pre-workout stack (occasionally changing as it is an ongoing discovery):1500mg L-Glutamine1500mg AAKG1500mg BCAA500mg-750mg Beta Alanine2000mg L-Arginine2000mg L-Carnitine1000mg-2000mg Creatine+ occasionally:750mg Agmatine - currently experimenting withI don't really lift heavy or push myself like I did when I was in my 20s but once in a blue moon, if I feel like pushing the old muscles a bit further, then I increase the AAKG, Beta Alanine, Creatine by 1000mg-1500mg more, and also add 1000mg L-Citrulline Malate plus 25mg-30mg of Dendrobium, which I got for testing.Post workout:1500mg-3000mg L-Glutamine1500mg AAKG1500mg BCAAThe only issues I encounter were:Once by accident, I took about 2000mg of Beta Alanine with the rest of the list. It was late in the afternoon and I turned into Hulk, yes I had way more power and felt good but I was a little too wired and made it very hard to fall asleep.Creatine may cause slight bloating or stomach discomfort, especially if taking with water on an empty stomach. too much of it can actually cause bowel movement in some cases but nothing sudden or extreme. I always mix Creatine with a low carb drink and eat a non-citrus fruit like a banana right before.I also take Acetyl L-Carnitine which actually does everything regular L-Carnitine does but it also hits the brain so it is awesome in the mornings, before breakfast but not so wise to take it later in the day.Anyhow, I yapped a bit too much and perhaps digress a tad too, if indeed so, please forgive me!Cheers,SMA

If you are somebody who is new working out, taking this product is not really going to benefit you much. Or rather, you're really not going to notice the difference. I say this because you are relatively new and still are trying to figure out what is happening to your body through each workout, how to recover from the workouts, and so forth. There's no amount of YouTube videos you can watch that Will put you in a beneficial position to drink branched chain amino acids. It all comes from experience.If you are somebody who has been working out for a while, is in tune with your body, knows very well what foods make them feel better or worse in the gym, this product is most likely for you.The taste and mix ability: so I take the recommended dosage and I put it in the bottle with some Mio for flavoring. I shake it up nice and it gets all foamy. But that sort of dissipates after a few minutes. If you try to mix this with water by itself, it does have some sort of weird taste, so I would definitely recommend mixing it with something else. Juice, Gatorade, whatever else you want. It does mix and dissolve thoroughly though.How it works (for me) : before I bought this item on eBay, I hadn't taken BCAAs in years but I remember what the effects were. I drink that through my workout. What it does for me physically is keep my energy levels rather consistent. I dont feel like I'm dying so much towards the end of the workout. Your muscles get depleted of branched chain amino acids during your workout, and this helps keep those levels stable. This is not a substitute for protein or eating. Although some people seem to believe that since whey protein has branched chain aminos in it, why don't they just take BCAA supplements?
