Taking more tablets than an OAP!

Tablets are a little hard to swallow whole. Found it easier to break them in half. The only problem then is that im taking a range of 13 smaller tablets (combined with other multivits and creatine). I get some funny looks at work, when Im gulping down so many tablets and washing them down with a protein shake, but as long as they do the job, who cares? Im more interested in the gains than what other people think ;-)

Bcca

Hi guys I have now been taking these bcca tablets for a week and within the week I can see how much it helps me recover ! I was very ware that it wouldn't make any difference at all. I work shift work and I have found taking theses have also improved my energy levels at work so I would defo recommend them. The only down fall is they are hard to swallow.

The only minus is that is difficult to swallow. You should put it really back on your tongue and then swallow with water or you should brake it to some smaller pieces. and than take with water.

Great tablets very effective but size is huge hard to swallow

The tablets are great in terms of effectiveness and the high quality expected of myprotein products but their size is humongous and often times very hard to swallow. It takes me almost a litre of water and repeated attempts to swallow four tablets and even then sometimes I worry i might choke and I'm seriously considering from now on smashing them and mixing on water to drink, it might be the shape of the tablets or their size but just a friendly recommendation to look into this in detail

BCAA 4:1:1 Tablets

product is great it certainly helps recovery and protein synthesis in the muscles. I got 2 units from a friend who visited India. I need some technical information. why B6 is added and how 4:1:1 is better than 2:1:1 ratio?

Exactly what it says on the tin

Nothing muxh to put. Cheap 4:1:1 aminos. Good for when you're on the go and you need some aminos.

High Quality Tab

Picked these up on the advice of a friend, they hare a high quality product if on the if on the large side so I find snapping them in half easier. Are tasteless which is a bonus compared to other .pills I have had in the past.

16 January 2015 by Winters88

A Superb Choice

After taking them for three weeks and I can definitely feel the improved recovery time and, though it may be coincidence, faster muscle growth. As mentioned, the pills are mammoth but after being used to tablet supplements it didn't take long before the size became no issue. Would recommend.

These tables are mammoth!

Only recently started taking these so it's hard to see the effectiveness just yet. However, the are really huge and quite hard to swallow. Also, because it's a bit of effort to get them down I do forget or not bother! I know they are essential though so think i'm going to bite the bullet and pay a bit extra for the powder next time.

8 November 2014 by Ryssa85

Does what it says on the tin

The 4:1:1 ratio is spot on, but these tablets are mammoth! Be wary if your not good with tablets. Also, although they are very competitively priced, remember you'll need to take 9 a day minimum so the pot won't last you long.

27 October 2014 by Little One

Good product

My only concern was with the size of the tablets(bit difficult to swallow) otherwise I recommend this.

27 October 2014 by Cuthzilla

great solution if you don't like unmixable powder!

Well the pills are a bit big but you can always cut them in half or chew them before swallowing with a little water. Much better than trying to mix your average bcaa powder with water, and they don't leave you with that bland taste in your mouth afterwards... As for results, I think the recovery time is greatly reduced and also you won't have that "I want to eat the entire house" feeling after an exhausting workout, which is very useful If you wan't to keep your diet in check while working out hard!

11 October 2014 by constantinos

Brilliant chained amino acids!

OMG this is some amazing bcaa! I've tried several brand competitors version and it beats no where near this one! I get instant recovery (if you follow the instructions) and I'd use the 5 tablets only if the workout is very intense and you're feeling the aches straight after. I do crossfit as my main training and this helps me to carry it on for longer and better performance with fast recovery if you combine it with vitamin d, whey protein and GSM

3 October 2014 by Winnie

These tablets are quite big but I don't mind taking tablets so that's okay. Definitely noticed a difference in taking these, don't ache nearly as much after a workout.

15 September 2014 by Becca

Very hard to swallow

Only just started taking these so cant comment on how effective they are for my training just yet, but be aware that the tablets are massive! I have to break mine into 3 or 4 pieces to get them down otherwise they get stuck in my throat. Having said that, I'm looking forward to seeing the positive results that I will get from it.

Energy and recovery

I used these before and after my workouts for energy and recovery. Feel results straight away, can't see myself not ordering these as already on my 3rd bottle. Tablets are a little on the large size, but if this is an issue you could take them individually Supplement that works

Goes Well With:

Use with protein shake or bar for pre / post workout

18 August 2014 by Dan

Essential

I started taking BCAAs 2 weeks ago and I've noticed a difference in recovery time already. The tablets are HUGE (and I'm a pretty good tablet taker) and need to be properly lined up in your mouth before swallowing or they can stick in your throat. Thats the only downside. If you're not good with big tablets get the powder.

It does the job...

The pill may seem a little big at the first look and it kind is hard to swallow until you get used to it, but it doesn't matter that much because it does the job! I feel better in general - get more rested by sleep - muscles are getting more size and it gets you more edge on power training! Do not hesitate to order cos it is what you need...

Effective

I've been taking 4 of these before bed each night as part of recovery. Apart from there sheers size and sometimes tricky to swallow ( about 500ml will do it) they are really effective and have been improving my results and reduce the doms slightly so I'm very happy. Just maybe make some smaller size tablets and I'll be a happy bunny!

Taking these babies for a while Do they work? You bet your boots they do Keep taking these with all the rest of it The guns will be BOOMING

6 June 2014 by Biggy

quality convenience

Great balance of BCAAs. Big tabs but sometimes it's easier to have tabs than make up a drink with powder. I can't say I've noticed performance improvements but then I was taking other BCAAs before so it's not a fair test. The evidence is there to support BCAAs and leucine seems to be needed in larger amounts so this ratio is great.

These are great and much better than the powder version, which does not mix well at all. Definitely recommend to keep those aminos in!

4 June 2014 by D

Good but...

BCAAs are a must! I was put off by the reviews of the powdered version because of comments on taste but since then flavoured versions have been brought out so trying those next!! These tables are fine though quite bit!! Few occasions they have got lodged in my throat which I a little painful. Dosage requires 3-5 I think I'd rather take 6-10 and they be half the size.

Goood

Very good results so far, only used for 5 days, taken 3 tablets, 1 before workout, 1 after workout and 1 before bed, the results are decent, i can see the increase in muscular strength as well as definition, check out my results on my instagram - afzal_1996 and my twitter - YourDadAfzal, this product WILL NOT DISSAPPOINT YOU. Doesn't mix very well as its a tablet, hard to swallow but cut in half then swollow with cold water, results work fast, healing muscles within 24 hours. Amazing product and great price, will last long! And will be purchasing every month, THANK YOU MY PROTEIN..

Goes Well With:

Cold water, post and pre workout, before bed and with high protein meals!

Chew don't swallow

Good value BCAA tablets. Really a bit too large to sensibly try and swallow in any reasonable quantity so usually bite the bullet and simply chew them up. Not the nicest taste as rather bitter but wash them down with a decent protein shake and you hardly notice them. As far as I can tell they do the job, I consume about 8 to 10 a day and they certainly seem to help with my recovery and to supplement the BCAA profile of the Myprotein whey powders which I use. Get them on one of the regular offers from Myprotein and they are even better value,

Great Product

I have been using the product for a few weeks now and have noticed a slight difference in size and strength. I haven't been using them long enough to see a massive change. When crushed they mix well with juice as a intraworkout drink, I do find I have to crush them a lot due to the size they are massive and hard to swallow. I am impressed so far and will continue to use this instead other previous ones I purchased.

28 April 2014 by crazysammons1

Does the job

Have had EAA's from Myprotein before and thought they were on the large size, these are probably some of the biggest tablets you'll find but they are shaped well enough for them to go down your neck easily. If anything this is a positive to me as larger tablets = less tablets to take. Couldn't comment on results but your pretty much guaranteed they will be of some benefit to recovery/growth as BCAA'S/EAA's are a key supplement but its hard to measure effectiveness, just make sure you get them down you!

BCAA 4:1:1 Tablet

Not sure why supplement manufacturers have to produce amino tabs in such large format and with such rough edges. Makes them really quite hard to swallow whole. At least they are really very soft and easy to chew, however the taste is rather bitter so best taken this way with a decent tasting shake to mask the bitterness. Good value for money however and continue to use as the mainstay of my amino supplementation.

Lego

If you ever enjoyed going to A&E when you were younger due to choking on Lego, then I'd highly recommend BCAA 4:1:1. Jokes aside they are hefty and pretty hard to swallow due to the edging of the tablet. I've been taking the BCAA 1500 for a few months and they are a lot smoother on edging while still equal in size, but seem to go down without a problem. Hopefully I see difference from the 1500 or I'm back to smooth city. :)

BCAA work

really easy to use, makes for a better session, and removes the pain the day after. Cannot say enough about this product. You have to use bcaa if you want to lift hard and see gains. Sure protein is important but BCAA go straight to the muscle where you need it.

difficult to swallow

I bought these as i'm trying to drop fat and also sort out some brain hormone imbalances. As yet I have not been using them long enough to know if they are making any difference but i'll keep you posted. I bought the tablets after reading some reviews about the taste of the powder, and also because I didn't know the powder ratio. My only problem is the size of them!! They are like horse tablets. I have taken to chopping in half so that I don't choke. Only a small moan but thought it might be relevant to some more than others.

24 March 2014 by Louise

gets the job done

I have been using these BCAAs for about a month and a half. I'd read other reviews that suggested they could speed up recovery times and help with the dreaded DOMS. I bought a 120 tablet jar in the beginning to see how things went and yes, I was appreciably less sore, so I've been back to buy two large jars. The tablets are big and it does take a lot of water to get them down, and it can be uncomfortable if they go down sideways. I don;t know how they perform for bulking, and because these are the only BCAAs I've used I don't know how they compare performance-wise to a 2:1:1 combination.

good product

i think it is a product that works for me. the bad thing is that these tablets are too big, so it is better to smush them a bit and then solve them in water for a while before you drink them. the taste is a little bitterish, but not a big deal, you can take them with some juice after all!!

Allows you to push beyond your limits! keeps cortisol under control!

I ordered these because needed a bigger dosage of BCAA as training sometimes takes me an hour and fifteen minutes, ever since ive taken these i actually dont suffer from over training symptoms anymore! and thats even while in a caloric deficit, very impressed by these and muscle gains have been good, only downside, there HUGE, massive i tried to down 3 of these at once ended up choking, so one by one is the best way to go, if your a person who trains long then go for these, i couldn't recommend them enough!
