Beat tasting BAR out there!
Let's be honest, we all know why we're here. We know the effects of BCAA and we know it should be a staple in our supplement stacks, BUT if death had a taste, it would taste like BCAAs! Well, not anymore - I'd just about given up on raw BCAA powder, opting instead for capsules, but prohibitive costs forced me to reassess the powder situation. I'd heard this was a stomacable so gave it a try, just to be on the safe side, I ordered some extra just in case. Yeah I didn't need the extra flavouring! I mixed 20g with 1.5L of water (additional 20g of pepto pro as well) and started shaking, low and behold it wasn't soluble, foamed at the top and "here we go again", I thought. Got in the car, headed for the gym and by the time I'd got there (about 10 mins) the liquid was spotless! Everything dissolved perfectly. The taste is non existant (MyProtein's berry blast flavouring isn't the best in the world, but if this was the extent of my worries, I was happy). I kid you not, BCAAs are now, not only tolerable, but quite enjoyable. Top tip - add the water on top of the BCAA powder, shake and then let stand for 5 mins, shake again and you'll be good to go! Wizard!

Taste bad but dammit they work
I got unflavoured as I hate the sickly sweet taste of sweetened supplements. WOW did these BCAAs taste bad! At first I wondered if it made my breath smell even! It doesn't mix in particularly easily either - I mix with water and it will take some good shaking to stop it from just sitting on the top there in an unattractive lump. Keep shaking and it eventually mixes in (or leave for a bit and shake again). Having said all this I did think this supplement was particularly effective. Perhaps it was psychosomatic but I felt like I was working out harder and more effectively when I used the BCAAs. I am small and find it hard to put on muscle and maintain weight, which is why I tried this product and my perception has been that they are effective and I would purchase again. Goes Well With:Just shut your eyes and think of England

Great product. Flavours are desperately missed
Excellent product. Been using it for years however for some reason you only seem to be able to buy non flavoured now. As someone else put, the unflavoured version tastes extremely chemical like and is like letting a paracetamol dissolve on your tongue. Please bring back the flavours as this product is now unpalatable.

Horrendous taste
I bought the so call unflavoured to mix with my shakes. No matter what you mix this with it has an overpowering Taste which is truly horrendous. How the Myprotein can sell this and expect people to drink it I'll never know, honestly have never tasted anything so bad before. Do not waste your money like me!Goes Well With:Nothing!

Look here for gains
im a regular lifter and always taken bcaas as part of my diet. I've found it has helped me with steady gains and I've not really had any complaints... However as the summer fast approaches and like everyone else I've started my shred phase, whilst trying to maintain size. Being a ' normal' lad, working shifts, not being able to get in meals every two hours or train at the same time every day is hard work and the final result we all look for seems impossible to achieve. However I recently purchased this product and I've not been disappointed.. I've found that taking this 4 times a day with meals and combined with my diet, supplements and training has given me the lean mass and look I'm aiming for. if you want to jump on the gains train, I'd recommend this product.. Well done my protein

Great Product but Bad Flavour
Well the BCAA is a great supplement and essential for your growth plan. The powder is very good and allows you to use your 10gr per day easily. The issue is that the TASTE is BAD. It is very strong taste, it does mix with Whey and any other product, but it wont leave your whey or food sweet, it will actually change dramatically the sweetest level of the food/drink. However people dont realise that the minimum quantity of BCAA of you must eat per day is around 10 to 20 grams, and I'm talking about the 4:1:1, which is the GOOD one. If you buy in tablets you will have to DRINK around 15+ Tablets PER DAY to meet your minimum daily requirement to grow. ~Normally people dont realise this and buy the tablets instead and take 3 tablets a day, which is not correct. Also you need to check because if you buying the formula 2:1:1, that means that is less powerful than the 4:1:1 as the quantity of Leucine is much lower, which means you may have to take 20+ per day easy to meet your daily requirements of 10 to 20 grams per day. Advice: - mix your BCAA with whey or some juice. - Add more water than it is needed is a good option as well. - take with less water and then drink more water after. Great product to make you a MONSTER, but if you wanna cry because of the TASTE, get some tablets and take 20 a day ! Goes Well With:- mix your BCAA with whey or some juice. - Add more water than it is needed is a good option as well. - take with less water and then drink more water after. - porridge + banana + whey - easy to eat !

Very Good
I take 3 scoops pre workout, for me personally nothing else even comes close. I mix it in a small water bottle and shake the life out of it for 30 second's, seems to be the best way to make them mix up, taste is nothing to get excited about but I couldn't care less about the taste, just drink it and be done with it. Buy this and watch the gains, just make sure you have your diet in check and you will be good, clean bulking is way to go in 2016. Goes Well With:Perseverance

Excellent BCAA
At first I wasn't sure about buying this, but eventually I've bought this product and man, I wasn't disappointed. I have gained some mass and my muscles are leaner and denser. I would recommend this to anybody who tries to get leaner muscles and muscle mass + it helps to keep muscle when doing cardio training. The only downside of this product is its taste and mixability, but this can be easily fixed by mixing the BCAA with protein powder or any type of other supplement. If your not sure to buy this product just go for it, you wont regret it.Goes Well With:Protein powder, dextrose, oats, fruit juice or water.
