BCAA’s are an important group of essential amino acids consisting of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. BCAA’s are among the nine essential amino acids for humans, because our body can not manufacture them. Their only source is our daily food or food supplementation. On the other hand, they account for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle proteins. Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are indispensable amino acids provided by mixed dietary protein intakes from different sources. BCAA’s can also be consumed as food supplements, especially suggested around intense workouts or physical work.

Helps prevent muscle soreness and post workout hunger; taste is strong.
I drink this Forzagen product during and after workouts. A little background: I'm a pescetarian (although more on the vegetarian side) and I'm aware I don't always get enough protein (although I try) especially on days that I do my long workouts. By long workouts, I mean about 40-45min of cardio and about an hour of weightlifting in one sesh. THAT does take a toll on my protein and nutrition, and even more so on my hunger levels. I try to eat sufficiently before a big workout, but still find myself exhausted and hungry right after.So I purchased Forzagen in the hopes that the product would help keep me energized during workouts and help prevent the soreness after. And lemme tell ya, FORZAGEN REALLY HELPS. I've noticed a big reduction in the soreness and a big reduction in the post workout hunger. I don't always work out for that long, but it helps even during in the slower days.I divide this drink at 2/3 scoop for during workouts and the remaining 1/3 for after workout. Like other reviews, you really should water this powder down. It's extremely sweet if you're diluting it in the recommended water amount they label it with. I think I mix it at close to a liter for the intra-workouts. If you're the kinda person that likes sweet drinks anyway then I think you'd have no problem but for those that don't, it'll take some getting used to. Good news tho: the juice doesn't take chalky at all with enough dilution.

If you haven't added BCAA to your workout, do it now!
I never used BCAA before and while I know supplements are beneficial, I didn't expect there to be much of a change in performance or recovery. I was very very wrong.This won't have you doing things you couldn't before but it definitely helps you push a little harder during a rough workout and I have noticed my recovery improving a decent bit since I added these to the mix. I also use this and grape electrolyte powder in my water bottles during longer run and have noticed the benefits there as well.The flavor is decent though I rarely drink it along since I just mix it with my pre-workout powder.

Forzagen BCAA + GLUTAMINE Drink Mix
This is a fantastic product that i enjoy drinking throughout the day and helps me recover and feel a lot more revitalized throughout the day. I workout late at night and rather than my cup of coffee in the morning i start my day with some water and bcaa's. The Flavor is pretty sweet but tastes great and mix-ability is flawless. The powder itself is very fine so i wasn't concerned at all. The packaging is very modern and professional and was well sealed when i received it (perfectly on time might i add). Great Product, great company, and will buy again.

Good stuff, interesting taste
Can't say I've ever heard of Forzagen supplements but I'm glad I came across this product as well as their pre workout! People think it's all about the whey and butter after a workout but their missing out on a big part of the recovery phase when they skip their BCAA's!Plus it has glutamine in it so it's a great 2-1 package! Taste is a little weird, not bad but not good either meaning it gets the conservative "interesting" rating for taste.

Not easy to drink
Works as expected. Just be warned, this is extra chalky and will not be hidden with juice or any other drink. Only way I was able to make it work was the least amount of water possible and taking it like a shot.

but be warned it tastes like pink sugar ass so WATER IT DOWN
I'm giving this 5 stars because it works really well, but be warned it tastes like pink sugar ass so WATER IT DOWN. If you can learn to deal with the taste it's a great pick me up. I drink it while I climb & I have noticed that it's helped keep me energized throughout my workout & has really decreased how sore I will be the next day.

Very impressed!
Impressed! As a competitive bodybuilder I’ve run the gambit with BCAAs and they often fall short of the ideal 2:1:1 ratio + glutamine, however, these stack up and then some. For the price point, flavour and effectiveness, a must buy staple 👌👌👌👌

Buy pineapple, not grape
This product is great due to the Leucine content. I could not find any other BCAA supplements that had near as much as this product. I'm on my second container. I'm not a fan of the grape flavor, but the pineapple is good.

Mis favoritos para proteger y regenerar el músculo.
Hace un mes que volvió a abrir el gimnasio debido a la pandemia, la primer semana todo bien, pero la segunda semana tuve mucha debilidad y cansancio, estoy acostumbrada a correr en el cerro todos los días en ayunas y a medio día ir al gimnasio después de desayunar. Estos BCAA son mis favoritos, ayudan mucho en la regeneración muscular, el año pasado estuve buscando unos que tuviesen las mismas cantidades de aminoácidos y solo encontré los XTEND y tengo que decir que por mucho, estos le ganan. Yo diluyo el scoop en un litro de agua con dos sobres de té verde y hielo. A los que dicen que no les gusta el sabor, hagan la prueba así y van a ver que cosa tan deliciosa, además de que ando full de energía.

Te repone el músculo muy rápido
Me gustó, la marca lo respalda, me ha ayudado a recuperar el músculo mas rápidamente, siento una diferencia notoria durante el ejercicio, conforme pasa la semana no me siento tan agotada. Llevo 15 días tomándolo y sí he notado diferencia.La verdad no me encantó el sabor y se me hizo muy dulce, pero no esta tan mal. Si comercializaran uno sin sabor, sin duda me cambiaría.

Excelente suplemento y gran sabor
Me gusto mucho, este es el segundo que compro. Normalmente me tomo 1 scoop durante el entrenamiento solamente y con mucha agua, ya que la proteina que tomo tambien tiene BCAAs. Aun asi me ha funcionado muy bien, siento que me da mas energia para esos dias que sales del trabajo y lo que quieres es irte a dormir un rato. El sabor es muy bueno, refrescante, recomiendo tomarlo con agua muy fria, de lo contrario podrias sentir un sabor medio extrano como lo dicen otros comentarios.El aroma del polvo tambien es algo extrano pero la verdad es que sabe muy bien una vez disuelto
