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."
