I really like this product. When taken before I lift or bike (lots of hills) I find I have much more stamina. The taste isn't bad/awful. The only knock is a slight tingling sensation after drinking it. That subsides and I usually have a very good workout. Excellent product to take especially if you are dragging.

Ingredient profile
3.5
Grape

The profile for this product is appealing, however, being a proprietary blend, it's hard to say exactly how great the profile is. The ingredients used are valid, but the amounts I'm not sure. Of course, this product is meant to stack with other products of the company's so the amounts of ingredients would best be met when stacked, to see the optimal benefit.

For recovery, the EAA's (at 2 scoops dosage) did not enhance recovery better than other products, nor did it compare closely.

Taste was bad - like flat, week-old Grape Crush soda and soap. Mixed 70% well, but did foam and always had extra 'floaties' around.

For what it is, the price isn't even very appealing, but it DOES have a lot of servings and can be reasonable depending on how you decide to dose (amount of scoops used)

A great job by Controlled Labs on this one. Purple WrAAth keeps my endurance sky-high as I work out and helps my to retain a mad-man mentality as I bust the weights out. It is a little on the expensive side, however once you overlook that part it really is a great supplement to add to your arsenal. Also, during cardio it kept my focus and alertness sharp, not allowing me to waver as pain consumed me. One of the most noticable side-effects of Purple WrAAth is the tingling sensation most experience upon consuming it. This is natural, and tends to go away with further use. The taste is also exceptional, with me preferring the lemonade version, however the grape being at least bearable. Purple WrAAth also mixes pretty well, just shaking it will do, however it's not like it dissolves instantly or anything. I like it, and switch it in and out here and there, but for the most part it is a great supplement that everyone should have the honor of using.

I am a long time user of BCAA products, i took it upon myself to look into the researches done on both bcaa and eaa's, to find eaa's may be more beneficial, so i went to make the switch, and purple wraath was quite popular, so it was my product of choice.
Taste-wise, really good on the purple-lemonade. I really enjoy the taste, sipping it through my workout is awesome. I am not a huge fan of teh grape, too strong, downable by all means, not terrible, but not a flavor i would want to drink routinely.

recovery is great with this product, i have a tendancy to feel less sore the day after a really intense workout, thats a huge bonus, as much as i love DOMS, being able to walk the day after is always great.

energy is pretty good, not a stim product, so you dont get the burst, but you have stamina to get you through your workouts.

good product! look into it if you need an amino acid product.

Purple Wraath is a nice intraworkout supplement. I drink it on my to the gym and during my workout and I do feel that tingling so I know it's working. I notice more vascularity and more energy in general. I feel like my workouts last a bit longer with PW. I would recommend it definitely.

I purchased a small tub of this product just for the great ingredient profile alone. I used this product as an Intra workout product by sipping it throughout my workout in the gym. First thing i noticed was that the grape flavoring was disgusting, i guess im just not a grape guy, but it was horrible. I had to choke it down. I did continue use of product as long as i could before the taste was just too much for me. Now as a product to just chug i could have handled it but to sip it. no. the ingredient profile of this product is great though, im a big fan of amino acid product. I do suggest this as a intra workout product if you can stand the flavoring.

Purple Wraath is a sort of jack-of-all-trades...contains EAA and BCAA, but also enhances focus, stamina, endurance and strength. Although it makes a lot of claims, PW lives up to all of them - there have been days where I was exhausted halfway through my workout, but once I whipped out the Wraath, I felt like a new man. Great taste and that funky beta-alanine prickling sensation so you know it's actually working. Like most CL products, it's not a bad price either, definitely worth the purchase.

i tried this awile back from a few samples i received with an order. i know not much can be said when you have only used the product a few times but those few times i did use the product i really liked it. i got a nice pump, good energy, and great focus during these workouts. not to mention the flavor was great and mixing was easy. the ingredient profile really speaks for itself not to mention the many other positive reviews this product recieves. ive since moved to more bulk products to save money but when my job kicks up i plan to buy a couple tubs of this stuff and would suggest it to anyone looking for an eaa product

Oh great, another BCAA drink that comes in grape flavor. Well, let's see what it has to offer...

Energy - BCAAs always seem to impact me positively in terms of endurance. This product is no different. However, this also has Beta-Alanine which also helps. Just don't expect to go like Lance Armstrong by taking this.

Recovery - Yup, just like any other BCAA product, this helps a lot with DOMS. Good ol' BCAAs at work again, great.

Taste - This is some strong stuff. This is the BCAA drink equivalent of moonshine. It takes a great deal of water to dilute the flavor of this stuff. Once diluted to the proper level, this flavor tastes damned good. Think grape Tootsie Pop, and that's precisely what this tastes like.

It's just a shame that only two flavors of this are offered. Kudos to Scivation for the variety of good Xtend flavors.

Ease of Mixing - It mixes just fine in a shaker cup - what more can I say?

Value - Oh Controlled Labs, how you offer such great values. Purple Wraath does not fail to impress here. Serving of BCAA per serving of BCAA this product outdoes nearly every other on the market. The addition of Beta-Alanine makes this a monster contender.

Overall, this is a fantastic BCAA product. Xtend and the Wraath are head-to-head in my book. I think Purple Wraath may have the edge in value, and the taste is even better than most of Xtend flavors, in my opinion. The bottom line is that you can't really go wrong by purchasing this product.

What a great BCAA/EAA product. I cannot say enough about how helpful this product can be. It includes a nice blend of BCAA/EAA's and beta alanine, along with some other ingredients that help in the function of this product. Providing help to both weightlifting and endurance training, Purple Wraath helps me to continue my workout at times when I would normally be too worn out to keep going. When it comes to doing cardio after weightlifting, PW allows me to keep my energy levels up while pushing my heart rate to the limit. Recovery ability is enhanced as well, as I've noticed quicker recovery times after tough workouts, especially legs.

Taste is good (not great, BCAA's are tough to flavor however) and mixability is fine. Overall PW is another solid BCAA based product. When it comes to BCAA supplements, Xtend and PW are at the top of the list.

Note that some users may experience some tingling due to the beta alanine content, I did not as I supplement with BA every day anyway.

Wow. I've always been skeptical around the pre-workout/energy section of supplementation, but Controlled Labs has proved me wrong.

Purple Wraath is a great-tasting endurance formula that got me pumped as hell for the gym. I drank it 15-20 minutes and throughout my workout and felt the Beta-Alanine hit almost instantaneously. I was focused, I was alert, and I also felt somewhat of a pump, possibly a placebo effect. I hit the weights HARD, and didn't feel even a shred of soreness or DOMs later on that day or the next morning.

In terms of cardio, PW excelled as well. Again, I was focused and energized, to the point where your muscles go numb and you are able to push yourself that much further. Often times I discourage myself out of cardio and think I can't finish, but PW made me finish well under normal times and feeling much less fatigued. This may be my new pre-game drink as well.

All in all, one of the best supplements I have tried. PW takes the cake.

Purple Wraath is best during the workout providing recovery and energy in the workout.

Assimilation: I put one sample packet in 20 ounces of arctic water in my shaker and it blended nicely.
Taste: The flavor is not overpowering or a strong lemonade flavor. It is lightly favored and taste admirable.

Rating A: Mixing is painless and flavor is succulent.


This was just the taste review, but below is more info about the product:

This product helps you crank out extra sets and that has to be do to the profile which inclduese beta-alanine. Beta-alanine is proven in many studies to increase strength. It allows you to recover between sets and get stronger in some cases. You feel like you can do more weight than before.

When im cutting, i try to get some free form BCAA's to avoid catabolism and muscle wasting while im training. After several times of use of Xtend, i decided to try Purple Wraath, because by reading all the reviews it has, it should be a good supplement.

To my surprise, i realize that i hate Purple Wraath. Its a blend of EEA's and BCAA's, you cant know the exact amount of each ingredient due to the propietary blend, but it should be a decent amount. Anyway i always stick to 2 scoops PRE and 1 POST, but i didnt feel anything at all, except from the disgusting tingling from the beta alanine.

I need to talk about the taste, its totally DISGUSTING, i had troubles with swallowing and taking it in, because it tastes like medicine and leaves an awful aftertaste like puke!.

I dont recommend it, i prefer OTHERS.veu

This is a staple in my supplement regimen. It is an extremely effective supplement. What I noticed the most was that it really propelled me through my workouts. I felt like I did not need to rest as long between sets. I felt focused and like I wanted to stay at the gym for hours. It was a real nice, clean, refreshing feeling. There was absolutely no crash.
I found that the times that I used it before cardio, I would come home after a run and felt like I could go back out and do the whole run again. The taste is very subtle and delicious. I can always tell if I like how a supp tastes if I look forward to drinking it. I always looked forward to drinking Wraath. One of the great things about Wraath is that the stuff seems to last forever. I used it for every workout and it lasted me about 6 months.

I decided I was going to start supplementing because my workouts hadn't been going anywhere for a while, and asked for a sample to see if it was something I would like. After trying the sample, and seeing all the great feedback I bought a tub. Used it for a while, loving every workout while I was using it. Took a break because of things (logs, other supplements, etc.) but I've recently come back to finish up the tub. I have a few servings left, but I'm basically finished with it.

In the time that I've used Purple Wraath, I have used other supplements that intend on decreasing muscle soreness, increasing endurance, etc. and I can plainly say that as of right now the only one I can say is without a doubt at the top, is Purple Wraath.

I normally did 2 scoops, so the tub lasted me about 45 workouts.

Taste: 10/10. At first I didn't like the taste, but once I drank it a few times, I found myself craving it. Wish they had something other than grape, but for now, the grape is pretty damn good.

Ingredient Profile: 10/10. It's all in there, everything you need for the product to do what it needs to do. Some people say there is more blah blah in other products blah blah blah, but shut up and add another scoop. In comparison, it takes like 30 scoops of Xtend to reach an effective dose.

Effectiveness: 13/10. I can honestly say that my workouts haven't changed much from the time that I started purple wraath. Weights have gone up, but routines have stayed basically the same. I can't remember being sore while on PW, and now I'm getting DOMS weekly. Much be good stuff, eh?

Cost Effectiveness: 10/10. Any time you see a serving size of 90, even if you use more than serving a day, it's probably going to be cost effective. I've had this tub for what seems like forever and there is still some left. In my opinion, it is a great priced supplement, and even double dosed you get a month and a half worth!

Overall Thoughts on the product: I always see people arguing over Xtend vs. Purple Wraath. So much so that when I saw people talking about Xtend being better I IMMEDIATELY bought some Xtend. I was nothing but disappointed with Xtend to be honest. DOMS like crazy after my workout, etc. All Xtend has going for it, in my opinion, is multiple flavors (especially watermelon). Purple Wraath is definitely my favorite "endurance" type of product. If you haven't tried it, I would definitely consider picking some up. A lot of people are saying it's cardio this and that, but I used it for both cardio AND weight training. No DOMS= completely satisfied with the product.

Would I purchase it again? Not only will I buy it again when I have enough money to make another purchase (which could be years at this point, I'm poor and in college making like 20 dollars a month as an RA) but I would consider it a staple if I was able to afford it all the time. It's not expensive, but my lack of money is even more impressive than the price. lol.

PW is that intra-workout key to increasing your stamina during cardio and giving that extra rep in the resistance field. The best benefit is the massive reduction in DOMS and reduced recovery time. I personally mix 2 scoops to approx 60 ounces of H2O and it is truly a treat. I dread plain water at this point. Keys to success, mix prior to workout and use ice cold water. There will still be some floaties but nothing major. Considering a tub is 45-90 servings it is quite the value. Controlled Labs truly delivers with PW.

Controlled Labs: Purple WrAAth

Purple WrAAth is a blend of Essential Amino Acids that provide an amazing increase in stamina the very first time you use the product. Controlled Labs has established a reputation for creating inexpensive effective products. The creation of Purple WrAAth is no different. The product can be found at online retailers for under $50. While the price tag may seem high, Purple WrAAth has 90 servings per bottle. The juicy grape flavor has been improved since the products inception several years ago. I have been using this product since Version 1, and the current version (3) is an absolute treat to drink.

Perhaps the best part of Purple WrAAth is its use for cardio. While cutting I like to drink a half serving immediately before, and other half during my runs. Once you try it you will never want to do cardio without it. Another aspect of the product that is intriguing is that it can be used as a preworkout energy drink without stimulants. This is good for those who still want a little boost but may be sensitive to caffeine, yohimbine, etc.

Positives:
+Increased stamina and endurance
+Delicious taste
+$0.56/serving
+Doubles as preworkout energy

Negatives:
-Does not mix very well, but no Amino Acid product does. It is best to put in a bottle and periodically shake/swirl.

Bottom Line:
Purple WrAAth is easily one of the most effective and worthwhile supplements on the market today. It has become a staple in my supplement regime and after 7 bottles I have yet to see diminishing returns. I will continue to use WrAAth for my entire bodybuilding lifetime.

Purple wraath is a bcaa/eaa product that helps you recover and repair your muscles. First of all this product is made by a really trustworthy company in Controlled Labs. They are really helpful and if you are curious about any of their products they would send you free samples. Neways back to purple wraath... I will tell you what I think about it.

Taste 7/10-The taste is pretty good compared to the version 1 taste. You shouldnt worry about the taste though because the results are all the matter.

Mix 6/10- mixes alright, just make sure u mix it before every sip

value for money 10/10 - lasts a while for only 50 bucks

OVERALL-9/10 - never fatigued anymore thanks to purple wraath!

Recommendations: mix with 32 oz of cold water and take before or during workout. If you need to recover quicker than up the dosage.

Have Fun recovering quicker!

One of my friends recommended me to try this product because I would always be sore after workouts and I wasn't sure, but I finally ordered it and once I got it. I used to after my first workout and the results were amazing. The high BCAA content in this really repaired my muscle and made me feel like a new person in the morning. Controlled Labs has always been good on there products and Purple Wraath really showed me their true quality and great products. The flavor was amazing and almost tasted kind of like kool-aid and I loved it so much!

How to make:

Mix one scoop of Purple Wraath with 8-12 oz. of water after working out for full result

Use nice cold water and blend so you aren't left with stuff floating around in there.
