I daily use an animal pak and mix this with MRM Iso-bolic whey protein before I Go to the gym and get it in. And immediately after like it says you should. Still in my first bottle and have an increase in muscle size, strength. Work outs feel good, and recovery and growth are true. I am on a weight loss program, and this works good because I am losing the weight while improving my physique. My chest, back, tri's, bi's, trap's, forearms and already massive granite looking calves have all become more enhanced during the usage of this product... taste made my protein taste a lil bitter since there isnt any sugar in it, but not enough to discourage me from using it. Buy a good shaker cup with the mixer ball inside and you will be good to go

Not bad.... but might go for a blend
ummmm... may go for a proteim mix that includes BCAA and not spend the $$$$ on BCAA alone

Comments about Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000 Powder, 336 Grams:
BCAAs should be a part of anybody who regularly exercises arsenal, both for recovery and maintenance of muscle. ON is top-notch quality, and A1 Supplements is always the best price.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000 Powder, 336 Grams:
The availability of this product coming in an un flavored version allows me to mix this in to any/every pre or post workout mix. I usually add to my post workout for that extra amino boost to my recovering muscles. And at night mixed into a recovery mix to impede fat conversion while i sleep.

It disolves, and doesn't clump-up on the sides of the shaker. By far the best BCAA that I've tried. The only thing I don't like about this product is that it doesn't come in a larger container.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000 Powder, 336 Grams:
Many BCAA's come combined with other useless additives. This one's just BCAA's (plus trace amounts of Maltodextrin and Lecithen which are incidental). It's unflavored and the taste isn't exactly pleasant if simply taken in water(a little chalky), but if you add it to your protein shakes or favorite drink it's pretty transparent. It's much cheaper than other BCAA's and I've heard Dr. Jim Stoppani (senior science editor for FLEX and MUSCLE & FITNESS) recommend it by name. So buy some and take your gains and recovery to the next level!

I mix in a serving with my pre workout drink, during workout drink, and post workout drink. It blends well ,but doesn't taste great when taken alone. It is unflavored so you can't expect great flavor when mixed with water anyway.
