Comments about SNI BCAA Blast, 500 Grams:
A lot of BCAA products seems severely under-dosed (ie almost all pills) This stuff has a good amount of BCAAs and doesn't have that horrible bitter BCAA taste!

Comments about SNI BCAA Blast, 500 Grams:
Hi All,
I've said this once before, but I'll say it again (since A1 Supplements asked me again):
Don't let other reviews fool you.
This product is an *excellent* way to get BCAA's and Glutamine into your body. I use WEEKLY and CONSISTENTLY during training and I can't be without it, since it gives me energy, endurance, strength during intense training sessions.
However, the only *down side* to this product is the *inconsistent taste* from one can to the next, as well as the long mixing time. What the heck, I'd might as well tell you my TRUE experience:
The first can I received tasted phenomenal. This continued through the 2nd and 3rd cans.
But, when I received the 4th can can, the taste was overly sweet; so much so you could barely drink it. I had to back the dose down to 1-1.5 scoops vs. 2.
Then, on the 5th, 6th, 7th, etc. can, the taste was *under* sweet, making the mixture quite bitter. To make it drinkable, I had to add 2 Splenda packets to them mixture.
Note: A1Supplements doesn't allow returns of open products, so whether you like the taste or not, you're stuck with the stuff.
Bottom line: I think the taste inconsistency is the fault of the manufacturing process, meaning the mixture of the product batches is inconsistent from one to another.
Also, the product takes about 10-15 minutes to fully mix well. I put 2 scoops in to a 36 oz. bottle of water and shake vigorously, but I have to keep shaking it during my cardio warm-up until all the aminos finally breakdown into the red liquid.
This is my TRUE review of the product. Truly, it's a roll of the dice with purchasing this product because you don't know if you're going to get a good tasting product.
But, for me, I keep using it, making it either making it less sweet or more sweet to taste. Truly, I wish the later cans I purchased were as good as the first 3. ;o)
Do as thou wilt...
Yours in Natural Bodybuilding.

Comments about SNI BCAA Blast, 500 Grams:
Taken preworkout this is the best tasting BCAA product I have taken. This is an amazing energy booster without caffeine! The body really soaks this product up and I am now in the process of using it before fasted morning cardio and preworkout for weight lifting. I am a workout junkie (7 days a week, sometimes working out up to 14 times per week!) and when I am so overtrained but willing to go for broke in the quest of achieving my ideal fitness model body I can say that this new product is just what the doctor ordered. I will report back if this one product is the missing key in achieving 4% BF. I am now at 6.5.

This is a tasty way to add BCAAs to my post training regime. If the watermelon I ordered along with the blueberry is half as good tasting as the blueberry, I'll be stoked. My muscles thank me when I feed them this after training. :)

This product is an excellent way to get BCAA's and Glutamine into your body. I use it during training and can't be without it now since it gives me so much energy, endurance, strength during intense training sesssions.
However, the only down side to this product is the the inconsistent taste from can to can and mixing time.

I think this inconsistency is the fault of the manufacuring process, where the mixture on certain batches is inconsistent from one to another.
Also, the product takes about 10-15 minutes to fully mix well. I put 2 scoops in to a 36 oz. bottle of water and shake vigorously, but I have to keep shaking it during my warm-up until all the aminos finally breakdown into the red liquid.

I hadn't really heard of SNI before, but I had recently tried another of their products, so I figured I would give this a shot. Great combo/ratio of BCAA's..mixes well, taste like KOOL ADE...no joke!

Comments about SNI BCAA Blast, 500 Grams:
I take this product while I workout, and it helps me get through each training session. It tastes WAY better than regular BCAA's and mixes a lot easier as well. The only drawback is that I wish there was more grams BCAA's in it (12 instead of 6) and could do without the L-Glutamine. Overall really good stuff though.

Great for a cut or bulk. Great Watermelon flavor, best tasting BCAA on the martket with higher doses BCAA and Glutamine. A great product that I take daily.

Great ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. Added Glutamine makes this product even better. Repairs your muscles, replenish your glycogen, great fuel for your liver and muscles.
