BulkSupplements.com BCAA 2:1:1 Powder - Branched Chain Amino Acids, BCAAs Amino Acids Powder - Unflavored & Gluten Free, 1g per Serving, 500g (1.1 lbs) (Pack of 1)

This BCAA powder has become a regular part of my training routine. It helps reduce soreness and keeps me feeling energized during long workouts. The mixability is great with no clumping, and the flavor is smooth without being overpowering. I’ve noticed better recovery and less muscle fatigue since adding it to my stack. Whether I’m lifting or doing cardio, it gives me a nice edge. Solid product with great results.Ask ChatGPT

Love all their products. Every product appears legit. Will keep ordering.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Amazing deal best deal really

I should've google that BCAAs naturally have a weird "burnt cable" flavor. Works great if you're planning on mixing with pre-workout or something that masks the taste.

I really like this company and all their products I tried so far, and I have tried quite a few!Great quality in a non-flashy, sturdy bag that has a zip-lock. All products have very little or no smell from I could tell and more importantly, they all mixed really well with my drinks. The one that smelled kinda bad was Agmatine.Now, back to BCAA. I didn't know anything about this product but after buying some of their other products they sent me an e-mail asking me to pick a product to receive as a free sample (free shipping too) and all they asked was a review of it! How cool is that?So, after some browsing the list of their products and some online research, I decided on trying the BCAA. They sent me a 100gr bag! First week I didn't get a chance to consume it properly, then started using the suggested 1500mg but once a day. I felt slightly better after workouts but nothing significant. Then I wised up and started using 2-3 times a day, at least one 30-45 minutes before workouts and one about an hour after. Wow, even after only 2 workouts the result was impressive. On non-workout days, I still consume at least one dose but ideally and normally 2 doses. I will increase it to 3 on workout days as suggested on the package.It is, after all, what you are supposed to do, experiment on your own, but, prudently! The smarter and safer way is to start your dose on the small side. For instance, if recommended dosage is 1000mg (1gr) 3 times a day, start with 250mg or 500mg once or twice a day and observe your body's reaction for a few days and see if you notice the expected/anticipated changes or not. If not or very small, then increase the dosage and times, simple as that.I was so impressed with the product that I just ordered another 250g bag. I typically order bigger amounts so I can have a stash of the same supplements at home as well as at work (I hit the Gym right after work) which ensures that I get to take them at the suggested intervals. Along with Glutamine and AAKG, BCAA become a must for me. I have no post-workout soreness and I noticed I can last quite a bit longer in the gym just by taking the above 3. I am 43 and after a solid 60-90 minute workout, I have no problem riding my motorcycle back home. I still feel energetic and alert. Even if I get less than ideal hours of sleep, I noticed I was feeling peppier, sharper, and I am far from a morning person!Remember to consult your doctor beforehand if you have any doubts, or if you experience any issues after taking any kind of supplement. So far, no issues with any of the supplements from this vendor, very impressed with the company, their prices, their customer service and of course, their products.Highly recommended!My pre-workout stack (occasionally changing as it is an ongoing discovery):1500mg L-Glutamine1500mg AAKG1500mg BCAA500mg-750mg Beta Alanine2000mg L-Arginine2000mg L-Carnitine1000mg-2000mg Creatine+ occasionally:750mg Agmatine - currently experimenting withI don't really lift heavy or push myself like I did when I was in my 20s but once in a blue moon, if I feel like pushing the old muscles a bit further, then I increase the AAKG, Beta Alanine, Creatine by 1000mg-1500mg more, and also add 1000mg L-Citrulline Malate plus 25mg-30mg of Dendrobium, which I got for testing.Post workout:1500mg-3000mg L-Glutamine1500mg AAKG1500mg BCAAThe only issues I encounter were:Once by accident, I took about 2000mg of Beta Alanine with the rest of the list. It was late in the afternoon and I turned into Hulk, yes I had way more power and felt good but I was a little too wired and made it very hard to fall asleep.Creatine may cause slight bloating or stomach discomfort, especially if taking with water on an empty stomach. too much of it can actually cause bowel movement in some cases but nothing sudden or extreme. I always mix Creatine with a low carb drink and eat a non-citrus fruit like a banana right before.I also take Acetyl L-Carnitine which actually does everything regular L-Carnitine does but it also hits the brain so it is awesome in the mornings, before breakfast but not so wise to take it later in the day.Anyhow, I yapped a bit too much and perhaps digress a tad too, if indeed so, please forgive me!Cheers,SMA

Preliminary reviewPerformance:I have yet to notice much of a difference while taking this. I will do some more testing on it to see if there is any sort of added performance intra lift, and any hasted recovery.Side effects:The product no doubt, when taken at 5g per serving, 3-5 times a day, makes me nauseous, crampy, and gurgly, among other things that need not be mentioned, with EVERY dose. I have taken other BCAA's, including ON's amino Energy which has 5g eper serving (I take 2.5 pre workout... that means 12.5 g BCAA), and I have never experienced this. I have put all sorts of things in my stomach, and not very many things have EVER made my stomach do this.Mixability:It doesn't mix whatsoever in ANY freestanding liquid. However, I suppose if you were to mix it in say, a shake of some sort, you'd be fine, but then your shake would taste bad. Mixing it with water, juice, or anything that doesn't have substantial substance, is quite disappointing. Plus, it doesn't taste that great.In conclusion:Based off of what I've experienced thus far, there is no way that I would buy this again. BCAA's are not supposed to make you sick. I bought them, so I will continue to use them, but once the bag is gone, no more from Bulk Supplements.update: 1/17/15After trying this product out further, and REALLY wanting it work, I am needing to drop the rating even further (*** to *). Taking BCAA at anything less than 5g per serving is kind of a waste of time. They should be taken at 5g pre, intra, post, and at least 2 other times throughout the day. If I were to attempt this, I would be sick all day. The effect that I get while training is such that it detracts greatly from my lifting experience, because I am constantly feeling nauseous, and constantly burping.Depending on how much I have left, I will likely mix it in with my protein powder and pray to God that is doesn't eff it up. There is no way I will be buying this again from this company. And, it in fact makes me ponder the quality of the rest of their products.Also, as with every other powder they have, they measuring chart is wildly incorrect. I suggest that you get yourself a scale that weighs down to 1/100 of a gram. You will be surprised at how inaccurate their measurements are. Take my review as a grain of salt, as most others seem to have great luck with it. But for some reason, my body does not like it.
