Flavor

Pros:

  • "The watermelon flavor is much better than other watermelon flavors on the market."
  • "This also tasted good and mixed a lot better without the inch of foam that never settled."
  • "They all taste amazing, NOT overly sweet. Very natural tasting flavors and well balanced."
  • "I’ve tried a few different flavors of the extend bcaa’s and they’ve all tasted good but the mango is my favorite for sure."
  • "The Airheads Mystery Candy Flavor is absolutely delicious! It's the perfect blend of sweet and tangy, and it makes my workouts much more enjoyable."
  • "I love the flavor and so far so good with feeling energized without a buzziness to it."
  • "The Strawberry Kiwi Splash flavor is enjoyable. It's not overly sweet and has a refreshing taste that makes it a pleasant post-workout drink."

Cons:

  • "Other reviewers mentioned that the watermelon flavor tasted like Jolly Ranchers... and well, it doesn't."
  • "The taste is much different and not very good as the previous watermelon explosions."
  • "This flavor is WAY TO SWEET! (Imagine drinking a melted sour green apple lollipop)"
  • "It’s very overpowering candy like flavor, I dilute it more than recommended."
  • "So they reformulated the powder and got rid of one of the ingredients (citrulline malate) which leaves the stuff having a VERY chalky aftertaste now."
  • "You can catch hints of the air head flavor, but without sugar it just has a chemical taste."
  • "The taste makes this undrinkable."

Texture and Mixability

Pros:

  • "Mixes well in shaker bottle."
  • "It also mixes in very well."
  • "It also dissolves really well."
  • "Doesn’t get crumbly or weird consistency when shaken in shaker bottle, like some I’ve had."
  • "The mixability is fantastic – no clumps, just a smooth, delicious drink that keeps me energized throughout my exercise routine."
  • "Mixes well, no gritt or grainyness unlike some bcaas."
  • "Overall the mixture mixes really well."

Cons:

  • "The new one arrived and had a black lid instead of grey, no big deal and the ingredients and other labeling was 95% the same. However it absolutely tasted different and had a thinner taste but awful chalky texture."
  • "Maybe they mean that it doesn't mix as easily as other flavors? I found it is a bit clumpy when mixing as opposed to the Blue Raspberry flavor."
  • "It also foams a ton too which it didn't used to do."
  • "A bit of foam after mixing which eventually settles."
  • "It doesn’t mix well, very gritty, and tastes awful."
  • "It doesn't sink into the water, it floats on top in clumps."
  • "After the mix, there was all this white stuff floating on top."

Effectiveness

Pros:

  • "The impact is incredible. It did nothing for my cardio, but I do not get fatigued nearly as fast as before I used this stuff."
  • "I sip intra workout and sometimes on my recovery days and I've noticed less muscle fatigue and less soreness, so I've been able to train harder and lift heavier."
  • "This product is magical not just for recovery from sports/workouts, but for fatigue and recovery in general."
  • "I've noticed a significant improvement in my muscle recovery time since I started using this supplement."
  • "The BCAA content ensures that my muscles get the support they need during intense workouts, aiding in recovery and reducing muscle soreness."
  • "I feel a substantial difference in my recovery time when I drink it during a workout."
  • "I've noticed a tangible improvement in post-exercise recovery since incorporating this drink into my routine."

Cons:

  • "Doesn't really help with soreness for me, which I've heard BCAA's are supposed to help with, but that's not really a deal breaker for me."
  • "I drank this during and after my workouts and still woke up sore af the next day."
  • "I used it according to the bottles instructions exactly, but I didn’t notice any difference in my recovery."
  • "I’m not sure if it is working with recovery and muscle growth as it is a new product for me."
  • "I can't speak to its effects because I don't feel any different after drinking it."
  • "I haven't found that it dissolves especially well."
  • "This batch is like powdered chalk."
