BulkSupplements com BCAA Unflavored Pre Workout Supplement Reviews Summary

Mixability & Texture

Pros:

• "That being said, in juice or other flavored drinks, this BCAA dissolves easily and mixes smoothly."
• "The powder dissolves easily in water."
• "It also is a challenge to mix into liquid, so I use a tiny whisk, and it works beautifully."
• "It mixes very easily."
• "Powder dissolves well and quickly."
• "These are very affordable and mix into anything with barely any taste."
• "It mixed okay and had the normal bitter BCAA taste."

Cons:

• "This the most messy BCAA I’ve ever used before. The powder lets off a mist and it sticks to EVERYTHING it touches."
• "The only minor issue with it is that it doesn't mix as well as other instantized brands I have had in the past."
• "Product does have some difficulty readily dissolving in water."
• "The BCAAs cause my preworkout to foam up when mixed which I find very odd."
• "It would only mixed with water which made it impossible to drink."
• "Mixing them with water only is not even an option because I can't even swallow it."
• "The product works fine as a BCAA and is great value but tastes so terrible that you can't even hide it by mixing it with other stuff."

Taste & Flavor

Pros:

• "I mix a little strawberry lemonade Crystal Light with this in a bottle of water, and I honestly barely taste it."
• "I mix the same 3 grams with my morning metamucil right before going to the gym and that masks any unfavorable taste."
• "The flavoring masks the bitterness fairly well."
• "It doesn't taste delicious, but I much prefer it to the super sweet fake grape stuff."
• "I've found that using a beverage mix, like MIO, really helps the taste."
• "Great to mix into a smoothie and not terrible to mix with just water."
• "Muscle fatigue was eliminated but the taste need work 😂I recommend mixing this with like a water flavoring packet or juice. The effects are fantastic."

Cons:

• "I can't stand the smell or taste."
• "The bitterness is considerable."
• "Had a mild sour/tart taste, it wasn't an issue in fruit flavored beverages, but a little odd in the 'dessert flavors' (i.e. cookies & cream or vanilla)."
• "The taste of this powder is not like that at all. It's like they tried to flavor it."
• "I will agree with some of the others that the taste is bad... but what do you expect? Candy?"
• "Bitter, salty, and just funky."
• "The taste is pretty strong and bitter it has to be mixed with a sweet shake or juice for it to be drinkable."
