STRENGTH OF BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (BCAAS)
L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are commonly grouped together and referred to as Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, because of their unique branched chemical structure. BCAAs are essential, meaning that they must be consumed through the diet, since the human body cannot make them from other compounds. BCAAs have long been used by strength-training and endurance athletes alike to activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training. Our Instantized BCAA 5000 Powder is made using a proprietary process that mixes easily and keeps the BCAAs suspended longer so they do not readily settle to the bottom of the glass. Because if you can't drink your BCAAs, they can't help your performance.

It does its job, how do you actually know its working? You trust the scientists that tell you what its purpose is. It tastes horrible even mixed with a banana protein shake, but it is what it is if you want to provide the max for your body. handle it.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000 Powder - Unflavored:
I have mixed feelings about this product, but overall would recommend this to someone. This product tastes horrific! I was amazed at how chalky and overall, bad it tasted. BUT, the taste does not linger. As for the workouts with this product, they have been the best workouts I have had in my life (I did pair this product with Jack3d). I was almost never sore, I had my longest and hardest workouts and have lost a lot of weight. If you can get past the bad taste, this product is amazing!

This stuff seems to work. It's a good value but "unflavored" is wrong. It does have a bad taste.
