Nutricost BCAA Powder 2:1:1-150 Servings (Unflavored)

A trainer told me about BCAA's after years of regular exercising and I was skeptical but tried it. I was amazed at how night and day the difference was with my muscle soreness was and at how much it aided my gains right away. I've tried brands that try to mix a bunch of other junk with it, but really it's just not necessary and doesn't improve the effectiveness. The 2:1:1 ratio specifically works the best from what I've tried and I've found the simple powder is the best for mixing into simple preworkout shake of caffeine and beta beta alanine mix. Not the greatest taste but easy enough to chug down in water or a little flavoring. Keep in mind that timing of when you consume it is absolutely key to it's effectiveness -- Before or during workouts, but not after. There are a lot of junk workout supplements out there that don't do anything, but this is one of the only ones I'd say is absolutely crucial for helping muscles recover for weight lifting or resistance training, you won't regret trying it.

I bought this BCAA powder to help with my workouts, but now it mostly just works out how to get into everything I drink. Coffee? Amino acids. Water? Amino acids. Emotional support beverage? Also amino acids. The best part: it’s unflavored. Which means it tastes like absolutely nothing… just like my dance moves at the gym. I mix it in and it disappears faster than my motivation on leg day. No weird aftertaste, no chalky nonsense — just smooth dissolving goodness. After a few weeks, my muscles recovered faster and my soreness said, “BCAA later!” (Yes, I hate myself too.) Five stars. Because gains are great, and this powder really amino-s up to expectations.

If you have a weak stomach, unflavored is not for you. If you want to recover better after an intense workout, avoid a lot of sugar, and do it for a price that can't be beat, you need to buy this. I used to workout without supplements. I did a lot of different things: cycling, weight training, running, HIIT, boxing--really, anything intense, hard, or painful to keep in shape. After a while I started incorporating supplements to get better results and push my gains. Protein shakes, creatine, caffeine, and finally BCAA's. Each of those added a little more relief or better prep for my workouts. None of them made me feel as ready for my next workout as BCAA's though. Really, this stuff is gross. It smells bad, it tastes bad, and it doesn't mix super well. But at this point, I'm not working out without it. My recovery time has gotten so much better; the intensity is getting better; I feel like I have more energy before, during and after; and I just can't stress how much better my muscles feel the day after a workout now. The price is good, the packaging is simple, the product is fantastic. No nonsense supplement for no nonsense workouts.

This product states it's flavorless however it taste like old moldy water. No mater what I add it to it makes it taste so bad I gag and i am by no means a person who gets grossed out easily. It smells like it taste. I even tried adding it to pure pineapple juice hoping the pineapple would over power the taste and smell but I was wrong made my pineapple juice taste like it was rotten. Everything I added it to it over powers and it's almost unbearable 💔 😢. I was really disappointed with this products quality, flavor and smell. I used it for a few days and just couldn't take it so I requested a refund. Thats my honest review. Beware this flavor and smell profile will make you wretch.

Good news and bad news. The reviews you are reading about the smell are accurate and even perhaps conservative. The smell is rough. I was expecting this to be absolutely unpalatable. The good news is that I mixed a scoop with plain cold water and it hardly had any taste at all. Very surprising given the odor of the powder. It’s never going to be delicious, but it’s quite chuggable. Edit: Had to come back and share what felt like a eureka moment. I found an easy way to make this palatable without triggering an insulin response. Mix 8oz water, a scoop of BCAA, a packet of True Lemon, and a teaspoon of allulose. Tastes like lemonade.

So far my husband likes this he has copd and it has made a noticeable change in his breathing. He had more energy he says he thinks it’s all from this. My daughter who is a pharmacist said she can’t see anything wrong with taking it. He says it doesn’t taste real good but he getting used to it. I think it comes in flavors now.

I’ve been taking comparable BCAA for 10 years with my workouts and this does the job for a 60+ y/o I’d buy again

The taste is absolutely horrible. I understand it’s not about the taste it’s about the results but after two days of using it , I can’t do it anymore. The flavor is bad and the lingering aftertaste is much worse

Awful taste! So bitter
