As you'd expect being BSN its a great product.When using multiple supplements its hard to tell which one is giving you that advantage over another but the benefits of BCAA's are simple, it gives your muscles energy to help them build, recover & maintain.If your on a cut & trying to stay lean its also very beneficial because if you're cutting calories or doing long training sessions your body will be in a catabolic state, so due to the lack of calories/energy your body will start breaking down tissue for fuel which does includes fat but most importantly it also attacks your hard earned gains, but by drinking AminoX your body will opt to use the amino acids as an energy source rather than using the muscle tissue as a fuel,

I get really bad DOMS in my legs whenever I do squats. Like really bad. It usually kicks in full about 36 hours after my workout and lasts for at least 3 days. I get very mild DOMS everywhere else, only my hips/thighs are affected adversely. Sitting down or standing up (chair, couch, etc) requires the use of both arms and a lot of grunting. After my last leg day I was so sore for 4 days that I was seriously considering cutting way back on squats or eliminating them all together. I did some research online and saw that BCAAs can help and figured it was worth a try. I've tried almost every supplement under the sun and believe the vast majority of them are snake oil so I was very skeptical about trying BCAAs.I did my regular leg day (including squats)

This stuff is absolutely essential for maintaining gains! I have been a natural bodybuilder for the past 7 years and I've done several bulk and cut cycles during that time usually I make solid gains in the bulk phase and in the cutting phase I would lose plenty of weight but always lost lots of muscle mass in the process. Diet was always dialed in well and workout programs were excellent. I had always heard about how well BCAA worked and god knows why but I never gave them a try...Until this year I had put on awesome gains and my my holiday to Florida was coming up so it was time to cut down, this time I was more determined than ever to keep my gains during the cut phase so I gave these a go hoping they would help even if a little.

Decided to subscribe with my latest order of the fruit punch Amino x as I really do rate this product and notice the difference if I workout without using it. I'm really really happy with the results I'm seeing and this is the only supplement I take apart from vitamins.I use this for both cardio and weight training, I take it 15 mins before working out, drink only water during and then take this again post workout. I prefer to do cardio/HIIT workouts in a fasted state, the Amino x gives me the energy to push much harder and complete longer workouts which has meant my fitness levels have increased nicely (today I did 25 mins HIIT followed by 1 hour Les Mills body pump plus 10 mins of (fairly heavy)

The ingredient is great, and I do love the extra ingredients in there such as sodium to replenish your electrolytes and the endurance agent. I don't know if the endurance content does anything or not because I usually take a pre workout before. I usually swig on this during my workout. I take supplements hoping I get the most out of my weight lifting regiment, and I usually don't care much about the flavors. However, this watermelon flavored BCAA drink mix is horrible when it comes to taste. If I didn't have strong tolerance, it would be undrinkable. I have tried many watermelon flavored BCAA, pre-workout, and workout supplement drinks, but this is by far the worst. If it had less grams of aminos,

First let me start off by saying I've been using Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy for over two years, but recently decided to give this a try since lately I've felt that it wasn't giving me that extra boost during my workout. I ordered this in the Blue Raspberry flavor and to me, it tastes like a sweet tart so no complaints there! Im a female that has been lifting heavy for about 4 years now and currently weigh in at 126 lbs. As far as mid-workout energy goes, HOLY CRAP! I noticed a major increase in strength as soon as I sat down and completed my first set of leg press; it felt like ten pounds?!! Upped a 45 on each side and it still felt like nothing. Craziness. So here's the downside (for me anyways)

As you'd expect being BSN its a great product,I normally drink this throughout my workout at the gym & feel it helps give me a little boost, especially when ur getting towards the end of your workout.I personally went for the Watermelon flavour which I think tastes great, it has a really nice refreshing taste which isn't overly sweet. I haven't had chance to try the other flavours yet so i can't comment on which is the best out of them all but I'm back for a second tub to restock so i'm going try a new flavour this time round & update this when I've tried them all.One thing I will say though it mixes up with the water extremely well, only takes a matter of seconds before being ready to drink,

Soo Yummy! I've been using the Blue Raz, which was a bit tart for my taste, but still drinkable.I ordered the Watermelon after someone said it was like drinking Jolly Ranchers! It really is! I drink this during my workout for the recovery aspect of it. Not for endurance, I have a pre-workout I use, so it would be unfair to say which one is doing the job.I've always been a gym rat and struggle with recovery because I have Fibromyalgia. I refuse to let something like that control me, and I stay very active. I've had to learn to adjust things to help in recovery, as it is a huge issue for me. One of my biggest aids has been taking a recovery drink. I had been using Amino Energy and it was doing a good job for a while,

Oh How I LOVE THIS!!! This is by Far my favorite BCAA to use and I've got atleast 8 different ones on my counter. I like to switch it up because sometimes you need more than 2:1 or a 3:1 ratio. I read on bodybuilding.com that they used this because it was effervescent and works faster, so I decided to first try the watermelon because reviews said it was delicious, though when it comes to my supplements I care more on the actual working effects. This watermelon is tasty and taste like just that. I then just got the Green Apple and I'm liking it, even though normally I'm not a green apple fan. I just had to switch it up from my Blue Razz and Fruit punch flavors (i have about 8 in these same flavors).

I have tried Aminos in powder and it was disgusting. This stuff is actually rather tasty. After trying those powders I was only marginally expecting a decent tasting product and that was based on the brand name. I love the BSN products because they seem to work and they generally taste good if not always great. Everyone has preferences so that does factor in, but the flavors generally match up.Like all other BSN products I have used, this product is worth the 5 star rating and of excellent quality.The reason I say it's 5 stars is the excellent taste, kind of like any juice powder you buy to make your water taste like something other than water and not watery flavored crud.

My biggest concern with a product like this is the caffeine. Don't get me wrong, I am a coffee drinking superstar in the morning but products like this can have crazy amounts of caffeine or other stuff that makes your head itch and leaves you talking to yourself in a corner, in public while only wearing a robe. Ok, I may have exaggerated a bit but that is how products like Hydroxycut and other pre-workouts made me feel.First, the taste. Yes, it is excellent. I do have to say that I mix one scoop in a 32 oz water bottle instead of the 6-8 oz they recommend and over time just added a second scoop if I was feeling particularly lazy that day and didn't want to go to the gym.I read another review that said there was carbonation in this.

This product is perfect for me. I’m new to the supplement world but I’m getting back into running in my mid 30s now. I’m currently running 6 plus miles at a moderate pace and I’m increasing my miles almost weekly, shooting for a marathon. In the past I have experienced knee and muscle pains after a run that have almost put my running to an end. I have started eat healthier and have added this supplement after my runs and sometimes before I go to bed. I really feel like this gets me re-hydrated. It has salt and potassium along with BCAAs and most importantly no caffeine. I like caffeine but I don’t want this to be a pre-workout, plus caffeine is a diuretic and will do the opposite.

Before this I had used BCAA tablets and they had given me a little boost. But then I decided let's try this and see how it goes. This stuff actually works. My whole entire life I've had to have breakfast-a proper meal before heading out the door. I would NEED solid amount of food an hour before a workout. Yesterday I decided due to a breakfast date at 9am, I will test this product and see if it really does give me enough energy to workout. I had my mandatory coffee and at 6:30am I was buzzing. I felt so alive! I managed to up my lifting game and I did a full workout on just this and coffee. I felt like it had suppressed my hunger for the rest of the day. And I didn't feel weak after working out either.

Finally. I found a replacement for the old formula "After Glow" in watermelon. I loved how After Glow helped my recovery phase and allowed me to get back at it the next day. I have struggled to find anything that even resembled the flavor and recovery until now. Like others have said, this is no magic powder but damn if it doesn't help you get back into the gym quickly. Anyone who has busted out a leg work out and struggled to sit down, get up or walk up stairs afterwards knows the pain and sometimes length of a full recovery. This stuff has really helped minimize that struggle to sit on the throne the next morning. The watermelon flavor is really tasty if you like watermelon Jolly Ranchers too!

Ordered this product due to some intense exercise in order to help reduce soreness and muscle fatigue. I was very skeptical about recovery drink products prior to ordering and honestly expected nothing besides a placebo effect at best. However, both my boyfriend and I noticed consistent and remarkable differences in muscle fatigue and soreness after using this product. It's not a magic pill that will make everything feel easy or have no soreness or fatigue, but it definitely makes things a lot better. Taste is kind of tart watermelon, similar to a jolly rancher as others have mentioned, but not quire. It has a tingle of carbonation to it and we did not have any issues with foam when we stir in the scoop.I did have an adverse digestive reaction the first time I used it,
