Nutricost BCAA Powder (Green Apple) 30 Servings - Vegetarian, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Optimal 2:1:1 Ratio

good amino acid supplement powder. very tasty, and has a really nice apple flavor to it.

I trust Nutricost products and this BCAA Powder is no exception. It arrives sealed and with an expiration date and mine was a year away.30 servings for a pre post workout powder at a reasonable price and taste that I find acceptable. I just started back up at LA fitness after years away and as soon as I can work up to more often and rigorous sessions the benefits this powder can provide I expect will be even more beneficial.

Tastes good, tastes better if it was mixed into a shake. Its a bit sweet for us but thats okay, it serves a purpose.

I like this BCAA hydration powder. It mixes and dissolves easily into water. I mix one serving with about 30 ounces of water, and the taste is perfect. If I used less I think it would taste pretty strong. I appreciate that the aftertaste is minimal. I like the green apple flavor.

While it wasn’t bad, it didn’t blow me away either. The taste was decent, a bit on the sweet side, but it had a slight aftertaste that I wasn’t a huge fan of. Mixing it was pretty easy, with only a little clumping, which I could handle. I used it mostly during my workouts, and it seemed to help with recovery, but I didn’t notice any major improvements compared to other BCAAs I’ve tried. The 2:1:1 ratio is good, but overall, I might look for something that tastes better and mixes more smoothly.

If you're looking for a BCAA-only drink mix or a powder to stack with other ingredients, you can't go wrong with Nutricost's BCAA powder, in my opinion. I've gone back and forth between BCAA powders and EAA powders, and I honestly can't notice a difference. What I like about this one is that you not only get the preferred 2:1:1 (leucine: valine: isoleucine) ratio but also a bit more than the typical 5 grams per serving. Here you get 6 total grams of BCAAs per serving. You also get 30 total servings for a very reasonable total price. I use these only on lifting days and I follow a one on/two off schedule, so a can lasts a good while. It's a good value even if you use it every day, though. As for the taste, I really like it. It's sweetened with sucralose, so it tames the rather nasty BCAA flavor enough to where it's pretty good to drink. It's got a little tartness to it and tastes best with plenty (like, closer to 16 than 8 oz., for me) of very cold water.

Flavor is not great. The watermelon is much better.

Branched Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs are another staple in any fitness enthusiast’s diet. So you better believe I’ll try to get them incorporated into my diet without hesitation. Because of that mentality, trying this was a bit of a no brainier.What’s good? This is 6g of BCAAs in your typical 2:1:1 ratio of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. It’s also green apple flavor, which you can never go wrong with. Worth noting, this green apple flavor is more mild, light, and refreshing compared to your stronger, liquid jolly rancher flavor found in most green apple flavored supplements. It surprised me a bit since it is different that most of the other aforementioned versions of the flavor, so if you are looking for the overly sugary tasting variant, this is not that. It is just a light, pleasantly sweet green apple flavor.Other than that, this mixes easily, and drinks just as well. It is good for a quick post workout drink, or even as an intra-workout one as well. I’m happy with it, and at less than twenty bucks, all good there.
