BulkSupplements.com L-Leucine Powder - Leucine Supplements, BCAA Supplements - Amino Acid Powder, Unflavored, 5g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

Reliable, on-time, excellent resealable packaging on ALL supplements from this vendor. Very high quality products and exceptional logistical product distribution and management. Thank you for contributing to healthy lifestyles.

I bought the powder because I tend to mix/add extra amino acids into my drinks and wanted to include some additional Leucine Powder. It is pure and clean, just like advertised, no fillers or flavors. If you are not use to using an unflavored powder, it tends to have a bitter flavor and you need to mix it with something; flavor packs, other drink mixes,... I add mine into a pre/intra protein shake or a first thing in the morning shake. Pro: Product is a very fine powder, I have had no problems mixing it with my current drinks and it does not effect the flavor of them. Packaging is a heavy duty zippie type bag, takes up little room on the shelf, however on occasion I have issues getting it to seal shut but not that often. Price is very reasonable for the quantity purchased. Con: no scooper - this can be an issue for some but I just placed a left over one from another product in the bag, no problem. So far a good product, I am very satisfied with and plan on making future purchases.

I read that taking leucine prior to a fasted workout reduces muscle loss while allowing the desired fat burn. I assume it works, but have no evidence to support or refute that claim, so my review is not on the effectiveness of the product, but other qualities of this purchase. I tried it this morning, and as other reviewers said, the taste is pretty bad, but tolerable (as I assume all leucine powder is). I just drank it in water. It mixed OK. A flavored 0-calorie beverage may mask the taste better, but I'll probably stick with water. It's a very fine powder so was hard to avoid puffs of air blowing it around a bit. Again, I assume this is normal of pure leucine. The packaging is simple and seems it will last through the use. It doesn't come with a measuring spoon so I used one from something else I had and hopefully it was the right dose. That's no big issue since I always end up with extra scoops of all sizes from other products I've used and it keeps the packaging flat and the prices low. I also like the concept of BulkSupplements providing pure individual supplements vs branded, marketed, and over priced combinations. As I believe other BulkSupplements reviewers have mentioned a few times, the company sent me an email after my purchase and offered to send me something else for free if I agreed to give it a fair review. I thought that was pretty cool (and probably explains why there are so many reviews) and since they didn't directly try to coerce me for a good review, I don't fault them for this form of marketing. In any case, I'm trying something else from them so stay tuned for that review after I get it.

5 stars for the value. Beware, there is a slight unpleasant taste. It is nowhere near the unpleasantness of the essential amino acids supplement, which tastes the way roadkill smells. The flavor is tolerable by itself and easily masked by whatever you add to it.

I have now subscribed to ConsumerLab.com to get unbiased reviews. Bulk Supplements generally has well over 50% of its stated potency and the initially quality of its supplements is very high. I say "initial quality" as the "zip-lock" like bags it sells its products in very quickly deteriorate and often come apart at the seams. I've boughts literally hundreds of their products, all of which I have been INITIALLY satisfied with. I will not likely purchase this brand going forward because the packaging nearly ALWAYS FAILS over time. Its failure to close properly means that the products suffer from oxidative damage due to poor or NO CLOSURE. I suggest that they completely redo their packaging. It is wonderful if it were single use, but totally unacceptable for any multiple use "bulk" powders. 3 FAILURE MODES: WON'T CLOSE, CLOGGED ZIP CHANNEL This often happens on the first time a package is opened. It is inevitable as the powder falls in the "crack" of the zip channel and prevents closure. WON'T OPEN, CLOGGED ZIP CHANNEL Air moisture causes many of the powders to become very sticky. A tiny amount of the powder gets in the zip channel every time the package is opened and an amount is removed. After that the package is hard to open and then often the final failure mode below, occurs. WON'T CLOSE BOTH ZIP CHANNEL PARTS STUCK TO ONE EDGE OF PACKAGE OPENING After this closure is only possible with a customer supplied clip or rubber band. Very convenient - for Bulk Supplements. ACKWARD Flexible plastic bags are ackward to hold and dispense the correct amount with a scoop or spoon. A screw-top jar, such as other companies provide is highly recommended.

This is for pure Leucine powder. This is the most effective of the three amino acids found in the typical BCAA supplements. I figured why not just get the one I need and not pay for the other two that I don’t care about (Iso-leucine and valine). The price is certainly affordable. It is nice that there is no filler. The packaging is what is really key here. It does not take up too much space and the material, particularly the “zip-lock” type seal are really high quality. The taste is not too bad. You have to go into it knowing that it is not koolaid so its not going to taste like candy. But it is certainly drinkable in water. It dissolves okay as well. These are two key points were I saw complaints before and I have not found any problems. I think this is perfect for someone who wants to train with weights in a “fasted state”. Mixes okay and no digestion problems.

It's pure and clean 100 percent No added flavours colours preservatives. That's a good bit. It doesn't dissolve properly in water and I found that the water taste slightly putrid. However, I'm glad it doesn't have flavours to enhance that taste. I add a teaspoon to a strong cup of coffee. Add the hot water and stir for 30 seconds and it does dissolve. It doesn't really dissolve very well in hot water, but it does dissolve if you stir and press the little floaties up against the edge of the cup and I add a quarter of a teaspoon of honey cuz I normally have coffee with no sugar. I don't eat sugar but I have some honey so I'll put a quarter of a teaspoon of honey in with my coffee and Mickey mouse. Get all the benefits of of this protein. 100% pure five stars
