NOW Sports Nutrition, Branched Chain Amino Acids, With Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, 120 Veg Capsules...

Bought for price and lack of fillers. Man its bitter. Doable but wont be buying another bottle.

However when combined with other Amino's it is helpful in increasing HGH, Human Growth Hormone and helpful in reducing Heart attacks and Strokes. Combine, Three 500 mg BCAA Branch Chain Amino's with Three 500MG of L-Lysine and two 500 mg of L -Proline, with one1000 mg of Vitamin C this combination of Amino Acids with the C. will not only improve your work-outs, and your Heart function, your risk of stroke will will greatly diminish. The Lysine alone greatly decreases your chance of getting Shingles, A good 100mg Multi B also is effective for shingles and good for decreasing stress.............I am a certified Fitness instructor and recommend this combination for longevity and a healthy Old age, I am 77 and still teaching. This is a regiment I have followed for years, and I never had a flu, or a flu shot. Take no medicine and rely heavily on good vitamin therapy. The amino therapy is a Dr Lynus Pauling theory, which I enhanced for better work-outs.

Excellent price, purity, and value Does not mix well with water and a spoon, suspends at top and clumps. Mixes well with shakers but adds a foul taste to water or protein shakes (tastes acrid). Mixes best with sour products like OJ, pre work out NO powders, and emergenC Essential for post workout recovery, pre workout to maintain muscle mass, and pre sleep in order to boost hgh levels and build lean mass. You won't find a better value in a name brand. This size and price is unbeatable in any store or any other website. I have been using this exact product for over 3 years and maintain excellent health, 6-8% body fat, and my blood panels come back immaculate every time. Resting heart rate 52-55. As with any product, exercise is essential, and supplementation is key when your calories are cut and low. When I am below 2000 call I make it a point to supplement. I will buy again, no need to shop around, and I recommend this to everyone I train. Two thumbs up for NOW on this one, they hit it out of the park. If this review helped please thumbs back.

This stuff is excellent from what I can tell as far as effectiveness (it isn't like caffeine where you feel it working) and the price is fair. I am super tough and hardcore and all that, but this stuff it rough to mix up. It is almost like they added ANTI-mixing agent to it. I suck it up and eat it by the spoonful directly into my mouth and swish water around to swallow it. It is painful. Will likely do the math to see if capsules are worth the extra money next time I buy some. I use this product pre- and/or post-workout when training in a fasted state to minimize muscle loss. In my opinion if you are eating well (Paleo/Primal) and not training in long periods of fasting, you wouldn't need this. When intermittent fasting this becomes useful to maintain muscle mass. This is a waste of money if you are trying to gain size. I would simply eat more real food (chicken, beef, etc.) for the protein before I would take a supplement.

Yes, this is a high quality BCAA powder, no fillers, no bull. Yes, it is hydrophobic (does not mix well with water). Yes, if you try to mix it for a minute, the powder just floats to the top. Here is what you should do: 1) Add the powder to you favorite liquid (I use crystal light) 2) Mix with stirrer or shake in a protein shaker cup (don't worry if it doesn't mix well) 3) Let it sit for about 15 minutes (this is plenty of time for a majority, if not all of the powder to dissolve into your liquid) 4) Stir or shake some more to get the remnants (it should be ready for drinking without any waste) 5) Drink the most nasty tasting juice you've ever had. Yes, it tastes awful, so "Man Up" or mix some sugar free Da Vinci Gourmet Raspberry syrup into the drink to help mask the flavor. Enjoy!!!
