Optimum Nutrition's Instantized BCAA 5000 Powder provides a 5000 mg blend of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Valine, L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine) in every serving. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.

Taste		I recommend not getting the unflavored.
Taste		but it ruins the taste and makes it almost unbearable.


Taste		Nice taste, the only thing i dont like is that your serving size is 10g for 5g of bcaa which mean it is not really pure
Taste		but it's somewhat normal for flavoured bcaa.


Recovery ability		but helps with recovery.
Taste		i take it with ON mocha cappuccino whey protein and it does a pretty good job of masking the taste.


Recovery ability		It seems to be helping with my recovery after my workout.


Taste		So I give it a 10/10 because it doesn't really affect the flavor of other drinks that I use.
Mixes well		It's low cost and mixes well.


Taste		I recently ran out of the orange flavour of this product and went to order some more.
Taste		By accident I was sent the unflavoured version and was really put off by some of the other reviews on here describing its taste as awful.
Taste		I tried it this morning in the gym and the taste is no where near as bad as some are making out.
Taste		However, once I finish this tub I will no doubt be purchasing the flavoured kind again.
Taste		This is a top product, don't let the negative reviews on the taste put you off.


Taste		This has a decent taste.
Mixes well		It mixes easily and the jug is pretty easy to clean.


Texture		I can only describe it as a cross between chalk and BC pain relief powder.
Taste		I ordered the unflavored powder and while it doesn't have a flavor it definitely has a taste.
Taste		I tried mixing it with 2 types of juice and with my pink lemonade flavored C4 and nothing masks the taste of this stuff.


Taste		but the unflavored taste so nasty I will switch to Dynamize


Taste		Should have gotten the flavored kind.
Taste		RECOMMEND GETTING THE FLAVORED KIND, THIS STUFF TASTES HORRIBLE!!


Taste		great product,dissolve good in water,has no bad taste,price is reasonable,recommended
Value for money		great product,dissolve good in water,has no bad taste,price is reasonable,recommended


Texture		Good mixability, not gritty, no taste!
Taste		Good mixability, not gritty, no taste!
Mixes well		Good mixability, not gritty, no taste!


Taste		Great taste, and so far I can tell a difference from using it than not using it.


Anti-catabolic		It dissolves easily in water, tastes like a diet Hi-C Fruit Punch, and it's use as a muscle preservative during fasted training seems excellent.
Taste		This is easily my favorite supplement based on taste and effectiveness.
Taste		It dissolves easily in water, tastes like a diet Hi-C Fruit Punch, and it's use as a muscle preservative during fasted training seems excellent.
Mixes well		It dissolves easily in water, tastes like a diet Hi-C Fruit Punch, and it's use as a muscle preservative during fasted training seems excellent.


Taste		But the flavor is kind of bad tasting,
Taste		but what do you expect from getting the unflavored kind.


Taste		But the unflavored BCAA is absolutely nasty, I tried mixing it with protein and just by it's self I just couldn't get the after taste to go away!
