Great BCAAs!
I bought the cherry lime flavor off Groupon since I could get it super cheap, and at first I was really impressed. I love the taste, but you really have to like cherry limeades. It's got a nice, dominant lemony/lime flavor, with a subtle cherry aftertaste. The amino acid profile is good, but nothing too extraordinary compared to other BCAA supplements, and I've tried A LOT. Compared to the other big brand-name ones I've used (Optimum Nutrition's Amino Energy, Cellucor's Alpha Amino, Neon's Kinetic, X-Tend's, BSN's), I would say it's pretty decent overall. My favorite tends to lean toward's Neon's and X-Tend's aminos, but that's because they have more of a &#34;refreshing&#34; flavor that I like sipping on intra-workout (I'm a sucker for those coconut-water enhanced ones). On another note, like many others have mentioned, the solid form of these aminos smells atrocious (like you just ate a bad burrito and it gave you some intense gas). However, once you mix it into liquid form, it smells like lime. Solubility-wise, the powder mixes pretty well and doesn't leave any clumps or particles swimming around. Concerning the effect of this supplement, I have to first say that I'm a strong believer in supplementing BCAAs during your workout. I feel like doing this has always helped my recovery, helps me push harder in my workout, and I honestly feel like they're the only reason why I am able to have what others consider &#34;a long workout&#34; (roughly 2-3 hours a day depending on if I am workout out solo or what body parts I am training). I don't get tired at all, and I can literally workout for hours and hours if I could...In summation, if you can get over the bad scent and the plastic particles (unless that's just me), then you should absolutely consider purchasing this product. It is very reasonably priced considering it has 44 servings, and Allmax is a great brand with excellent products in general.
