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.

Mixes well		Mixes very well with water, tastes great.


Taste		the taste is awful, does not have a measuring spoon, and if you mix it with something, the taste of medicine predominates.


Value for money		yeah this product is good and the price is good too and disolve fast with my shake and it contain high BCAA for one scoop


Recovery ability		Besides that it helps in the recovery process.
Taste		I knew what I was singing up for in buying the unflavored one
Taste		Tastes like a sweet grapefruit drink with that product.


Muscle gain		Deff recommend this powder it gives you great results, i seen gains and i dont feel sore like i used to, very happy with this company!


Muscle gain		I put it in my weight gainer (TruMass) and it almost over powers the strawberry flavor which is already very strong.
Taste		I got the unflavored because it's the same price as the flavored
Taste		This is AWFUL tasting.. Absolutely horrible.
Taste		I put it in my weight gainer (TruMass) and it almost over powers the strawberry flavor which is already very strong.
Taste		I'd have to say this is the first disappointment I've experienced with ON... Perhaps I will try the flavored next time around
Taste		but the unflavored is just so horrible tasting.
Value for money		I got the unflavored because it's the same price as the flavored


Recovery ability		I chose to try this stuff out after viewing a bb.com video on must-have supplements for post work-out recovery.
Recovery ability		I noticed no difference at all in my recovery or muscle soreness.
Taste		but the flavor was always bitter with a gross aftertaste.


Taste		This is supposed to be unflavored
Taste		I also tried mixing it with ON gold standard which ruined the taste.
Taste		Buy the caps instead, the taste is terrible and i regret buying it.


Taste		I think it tastes really good mixes pretty well into the water after a few minutes and some good shaking.
Taste		I think it tastes better when the water is ice cold.
Mixes well		I think it tastes really good mixes pretty well into the water after a few minutes and some good shaking.


Taste		Taste has never been a problem for me even through I always try to buy natural and unflavored supplements with no extra stuffs in them.
Taste		However, this product ( the unflavored) has the worst taste ever.
Taste		Either go for the flavored version or make sure you have some juice to mix this with, especially if taste is important for you.


Taste		I tried this product and I have to say this is one of the worst tasting products I have ever used.


Value for money		Doesn't compare to Xtend! Well worth the money.


Physical energy		I highly reccomend any of optimism products I do like amino energy for bcaas also


Taste		The fruit punch tastes great and is especially refreshing.. Also cheaper than other BCAA powders I've tried.
