Love this!!
Love the Blue raspberry flavor-it tastes like blue fun dip! My husband and I have tried it during different times in the day—morning wake-up, preworkout, post workout. No jitters, great taste, not chalky. We absolutely love it! Looking forward to trying different flavors!

Will this keep me up at night. i want to take this as a recovery agent but i expect to go to bed at least an hour or two after the fact. Will this make it hard for me to sleep, if so is there a better supplement for me?

i brought one today which was manufactured on jan 2011 and expiration time is written on it.
Kindly tell me till when i could use this product??
A shopper on Oct 14, 2012
BEST ANSWER: You generally want to use any supplement by the expiration date. If you have an expired product, it will not be harmful, but will be less potent that a "fresh" one. If the expiration date has not passed, the product is fine to use and should just as potent now as it was when it was packaged.

I see that the amino chews don't have as much aminos in the blend as the powder drink why does it have less and which one is more beneficial?
A shopper on Jul 21, 2013

How will prodcut affect my kidney and high blood pressure ?
A shopper on May 6, 2012
BEST ANSWER: This product should not adversely affect your kidneys. However, it will raise your blood pressure. This is due to the fact that it contains both tyrosine and phenylalanine, which are two amino acids that can potentially cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure. These particular amino acids are also associated with rapid heart beat, fatigue and dizziness.
