Product Information

This supplement comes in well over a dozen different flavors, including mocha cappuccino, peach lemonade, and cotton candy. We tried the blue raspberry flavor which tasted a lot like blueberry candy. It was a little sour and a little fruity, pretty standard flavors in BCAAs, but I wouldn’t call it delicious. The Takeaway It’s generally best not to regard fitness-focused supplements as ‘magic’ pills or powders that will work without any effort on your part. Graham, T. E. et al. (1991). Performance and metabolic responses to a high caffeine dose during prolonged endurance exercise. Journal of Applied Physiology, 71, 2292-2298.

The main downsides are the fact that it uses a proprietary blend, so we don’t know the doses of some of the ingredients, and that it also contains the sweetener Sucralose. Supplements can help to support you on your health and fitness journey, but they are not going do much unless you’re prepared to put in some effort yourself.

How We Choose the Best BCAAsStart your day with a carbohydrate rich breakfast to top up your energy stores. Aim for 0.5g-1g/kg.BW for each hour before the race. Goldstein, E. R. et al. (2010). International society of sports nutrition position stand: caffeine and performance. Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 7, 5-20. A nine-gram serving has ten calories and two grams of carbohydrate, which is actually pretty high for a BCAA supplement.
