Bccas - high dose whilst cutting
5I am 30 years old, 12 years lifting experience and 10 years as a PT. I have cut around 5x never with this supplement. Previously I have noticed some muscle and strength loss which I thought was inevitable. This time I thought I would try using branched chain amino acids to prevent catabolism of my muscle tissue which studies have claimed it does. I started with about 15g a day, one upon waking, one pre workout and one during workout. Over the next few weeks this did seem to slow or completely prevent muscle breakdown in a calorie deficit. I read more and more studies suggesting that more BCAAs would enhance the muscle preservation and strength so increased my doseage to 40mg for the last few weeks. Well... Some things happened I did not expect. I have more muscle fullness, INCREASED strength and think that I may have actually gained a slight amount of muscle! It also seems to have accelerated my fat loss and my recovery has been immense considering I am a natural trainer, train 6 days a week, in a calorie deficit with about 6.5 hours sleep a night. I have tried fat burners, test boosters, pre workouts blah blah etc etc but this is now my favorite supplement. A must if you are dieting IMO and want to maintain hard earned muscle.Goes Well With:Everything

Everything You need to know about this SUPPLEMENT!
5This product truly reflects what true bodybuilding supplementation should be, no gimmicks, simple and pure. It does what it it says on the packet full stop. However this ISNT A MIRACLE PILL I say this because people seem to over value the usage of supplementation and lose focus on how hard they have to work for true results. At the end of the day if you are not disciplined with your diet and the consistency of your work out then dont even bother! Its like giving an onese person the best running shoes in the world, they will help...only when used for their primary purpose! In other words it will work if you first understand that for it to work and aid you in achieving your goals will require that you are disciplined and dedicated to your workout and diet! With this in mind, what also pleased me about this product was that the recommended dosage is right on the ball, the boffins at myprotein really did their homework on this one.What most people dont know is that most branched chain amino acids supplements (tipically pills) have such low amounts of bcaa's in them (5g) that it does not actually even have an impact on your system! Now some of you might think...does quantity really matter? The answer is....wait for it.....YES! And myprotein have recognised this each serving typically giving you a whopping 10-15g of bcaa's an amount that will actually help you preserve muscle tissue! Dont believe me? All things considered I would recommend this product to everyone i know who is DEDICATED about bodybuilding it will do the job so long as you do yours! NOTE: DONT FORGET TO BUY A SMALL SCOOP FROM MYPROTEIN as it doesnt come with a small one. The reason im saying this is because it came w a regular size scoop however HAVING NOT READ THE PACKET I assumed that that was the correct scoop to use and it is not! It just comes with it but on the packet it states that you need to use a small scoop not a large one like i did the first time i took it. Trust me ignorance does have a price i unknowingly drank like 200g of bcaa's and had a bad stomach ache for simply using the wrong scoop size! All in all great product, unflavoured one is horrible tasting with water but its the purest form you can get as there is no added crap, plus it doesnt taste so bad when mixed with orange juice! Hope this helps, remember stat fit and leave ignorance at home read and study what you put into your body after all that is what being truly fit is about! :D

4Berry blast is okay taste wise, mixes really well and good for recovery. I mix 20g into a 2L bottle of water every day and drink throughout the whole day.Goes Well With:Water.

Unflavoured - I think not
2Im a big fan of Branched Chain Amino Acids but in the powder form unflavored is almost undrinkable. It ruins anything you add it too and leaves a terrible taste in your mouth. I cant review effectiveness as Im not going to be able to finish this due to taste, texture and awfulness. Goes Well With:The Bin

The worst tasting supplement ever !
3Sorry but this stuff tastes absolutely rank and doesn't mix at all well. I bought the non-flavoured stuff and like creatine I just scoop it into my mouth then wash down with water, this is ok for creatine but this stuff sticks in your throat making you gagg. I've since bought the tablet version of this and I'm yet to use them but this powder has to be the worst supplement I've ever tasted. Does it work, who knows !?!?Goes Well With:Anything that will cover the taste !!!

Must have
5Initially tried this product as an alternative to standard whey, now use it alongside. Find it's very effective at giving me that little bit more energy during the session and I feel my recovery time between sessions has been reduced, allowing me to train harder and more regularly. I use it with water and a little squash cordial, then it tastes just like a normal glass of juice. You do have to give it a decent shake, as sometimes powder can collect (doesn't taste great in powdered form!). Otherwise awesome product - love it!Goes Well With:Anything

Nice taste, scoop should be outside
3Only just bought this product but it tastes quite good, abit like blackcurrant robinson's MP should attach the scoop to the outside of the bag though as mine was right in the bottom so had to empty it out into a storage container and didn't realise how dusty this stuff is :) Now I've got it I will keep the scoop for future use but it is worth bearing this in mind.Goes Well With:Water
