I don't believe it would be fair to remove a star for this because it's expected that "unflavored" will have its own natural flavor. But this unflavored BCAA smells like sweat and fermented soy (IYKYK, especially if you're Korean.). Every time I open it I am slightly grossed out by the smell. Regardless, it doesn't taste bad and it's the sacrifice I have to make to not consume more unnatural flavorings. Read more

El producto es excelente, ideal para aquellos que llevan un estilo de vida saludable. Read more

I bought the non flavor. It is VERY bitter. I mixed it in my smoothie and it ruined it. I've tried it with just water and it was bitter then too. Not sure if the a flavor would be any better Read more

I mix it with chocolate milk which masks the lousy taste. It seems to be the real deal in BCAA's, but I'll have to see about muscle gains. I also use Nutricost unflavored Whey Protein which is very good. Read more

Great value, tastes like toxic waste. LOL Reviews claim it's bitter, but that is so not the case. The cool thing is as soon as you mix it with something like Muscle Milk the awful flavor is neutralized 100%. One caveat is that when you put the lid back on the powder seeps out in a white mist. No biggy, plenty of product in the jar. Read more

Bought the unflavored one and mix it in my protein shake with creatine and doesn't smell or taste anything. I don't know if this stuff does anything for helping build muscles or recovery time but I've been taking it for almost three months. Figured it couldn't hurt to have more BCAA's. Read more

This is exactly what you're looking for 2:1:1. I use the unflavored version. Drinking it is like: having your nose buried in long haired dog that was drenched and hid (wet dog/mildew) WHILE chewing a mouth full of aspirin tabs. But we're not taking this for the taste. I would advise not putting in your pre workout if you fill your shaker to the top like I do, take it like a shot and get it over with. On an empty stomach it does irritate my gut slightly. Would give 4 1/2 stars but I'll round up because its such a good deal. Read more

90 serving for $24, amazing! Taste? Horrible. Worth it? Absolutely. Read more

Works well but I’ll stick to the flavored ones they also carry. It says unflavored but leaves an unpleasant taste. I’d give it less stars for the taste however I tried the flavored ones and they tasted good. Read more

Very good product! It helps me a lot during my workout! The taste with water and the powder smell are really disgusting. Read more

I've been using unflavored BCAAs from various different companies over the years. They're all mostly the same with some differences in mixability but they all share the same trait; they're flavorless. I surmised this product from Nutricost would be the same experience. I mix it in my bottle and take a sip. Like a surprise punch in the mouth, I find it wasn't flavorless; it tasted like literal A** water. Initially, I assumed it was an old, unwashed bottle. Second attempt resulted in a second helping of A** water. Like anyone not satisfied with a product, I felt this warranted a refund. Firstly, there's no refund option available. I then email the seller and its been crickets. My guess is the seller/manufacturer is aware if the poor quality control and made a business decision to play dumb. Whomever is reading, STAY AWAY from this product and Nutricost. Unless you enjoy drinking sewage. In that case, carry on and may God help you. Read more

If you are sensitive to smells or tastes this is not for you. If you are looking for BCAAs that do their job at a good price point this is for you. The smell is horrendous and smells like stinky feet. Mixed in other things it’s not horrible but definitely not as good as other unflavored supplements I have had in the past. I would still definitely repurchase. Read more

Can confirm with the rest of the comments - the taste it booty. But to be expected with an unflavored supplement. I found that powered Celsius covers up the bad taste. I used to get the flavored one but honestly who tf know what’s in those. Supplements such be clean with the least amount of ingredients as possible. Which is what this is. I trust the brand. I use some of their other stuff like beta alanine which is in a lot of pre-workouts that cost more. This works just fine, just don’t lie to yourself that you won’t mind the taste. Read more

BCAAs are bitter. This one is no exception. Mix it with something citrusy and it's fine. Mixed with protein powder you can still taste it a little, but it's not bad. Choke it down, it's fantastic for recovery and promoting growth. I picked unflavored so I can mix it in anything, and that's exactly what I got. Great product, but don't expect it to be flavorless. It's just unflavored. Read more

If you have a weak stomach, unflavored is not for you. If you want to recover better after an intense workout, avoid a lot of sugar, and do it for a price that can't be beat, you need to buy this. I used to workout without supplements. I did a lot of different things: cycling, weight training, running, HIIT, boxing--really, anything intense, hard, or painful to keep in shape. After a while I started incorporating supplements to get better results and push my gains. Protein shakes, creatine, caffeine, and finally BCAA's. Each of those added a little more relief or better prep for my workouts. None of them made me feel as ready for my next workout as BCAA's though. Really, this stuff is gross. It smells bad, it tastes bad, and it doesn't mix super well. But at this point, I'm not working out without it. My recovery time has gotten so much better; the intensity is getting better; I feel like I have more energy before, during and after; and I just can't stress how much better my muscles feel the day after a workout now. The price is good, the packaging is simple, the product is fantastic. No nonsense supplement for no nonsense workouts. Read more
