BSN Recovery Endurance Friendly Caffeine Reviews Summary

Flavor

Pros:

• "The Grape has an excellent taste with no chemical like after taste."

• "However, I have complaints about the packaging and how messy it is: It comes in a huge plastic jar, with lots of air in it."
• "The seal on my order was busted. Not the seal around the lid but the seal holding the powder inside the bottle."
