Animal Juiced Amino Acids - BCAA Powder EAA Matrix Plus Hydration with Electrolytes and Sea Salt Anytime Recovery and Improved Performance, Fruit Punch Flavor, 30 Servings

Expensive but tastes good and mix easy. I think it's high quality bc I never get sore and it's so refreshing. I actually feel better after I work out.

I'll start by addressing the elephant in the room: The taste. Other reviewers have complained the grape flavor is less than tasty, and I agree. The taste is reminiscent of Dimetapp. However, I buy supplements like these for function, not flavor, so I was more than willing to deal with the Dimetapp taste as a tradeoff for improved performance in the gym.In regards to performance: Juiced Aminos exceeded my expectations. When sipping on it during training sessions, there's a notable difference in muscular endurance during sets, overall strength, and even a reduction in soreness in the days following sessions (particularly leg sessions, which used to have me hobbled doing two thirds of the work I'm currently doing).If you're like me and willing to overlook less than stellar taste for the sake of a training boost, definitely give Juiced Aminos a try. (But maybe go with the Fruit Punch flavor to start with.)Update (7/9/2024): Took my own advice regarding ordering the Fruit Punch flavor and I'm glad I did. The flavor is a substantial improvement over the Dimetapp-tasting Grape flavor; in fact, it reminds me a bit of Hawaiian Punch. I no longer have to choose between performance and taste, as the Fruit Punch flavor is the best of both worlds!

I love this amino drink and the grape is awesome! Ignore the other silly reviews about it, it's really good! Mixes well, decreases soreness incredibly, overall great product.

I’ve been jumping between amino acids and I stumbled upon this one, saw it had great reviews, price wasn’t bad, and the selection of flavors was nice. The way I take my amino acids is I’ll use two scoops in a gallon of water and drink it throughout the day. I’m getting my aminos and I’m staying hydrated at the same time. I know that’s not the recommended way to take them but that’s how I do it. By midday I have to stop drinking due to it smelling so dang bad. Again most likely cause I’m using it the way I want to and not the way it’s recommended. I never had this issue with other amino acids, if you enjoy this product keep ordering it , I won’t be purchasing this amino acid again. I do love other products from this company. I’m just going to pass on this line of their products.

With the vast amount of BCAA products out in the market, it’s difficult to find one that both great tasting and effective. What makes the Universal Nutrition Animal Juiced Aminos unique is that it’s a mix of both BCAA and EAA. I have noticed an increase in stamina and pump over the course of my workouts, and have found that consuming Juiced Aminos in the middle and end of my workout to be the best time for dosage.I will typically cycle BCAAs in and out of my nutritional program to prevent going catabolic while dieting or fasting, and anyone who does will tell you that the first sip of a BCAA drink while dieting is like a shot in the arm! I have found that the combination of BCAA and EAA matrix in the Juiced Aminos is like a shot of Nitrous to a well tuned engine. The power, energy and stamina I get when drinking the Juiced Aminos is by far the best I have experienced yet. That said, this is the first BCAA I have used that also includes EAA.In terms of results, I have noticed that my recovery time has shortened. This is most likely a results of the Glutamine in the mix. I have also noticed an increase in pump, and no DOMS.The flavor is great too! I Purchased the Strawberry Limeade flavor, and recommend at least a scoop and a half in water with ice as the way to go!In a nutshell:Pros - Flavor and taste, BCAA/EAA matrix, increased stamina and pump, shortened recovery time.Cons - None!I recommend this product to my friends and family members who frequent the gym and athletic activities and will purchase this again for myself.

first time trying this. it taste good and honestly i always feel tired but today im feeling good. this is the only thing i added to my day so im taking that as this works!

Working well

The recent change in the formula was an unwelcome surprise when my 4th order arrived.The color and consistency of the powder are different, it's less dense but mixes more easily, flavor has changed (grape) and I liked the previous version more.Note that Citrulline and Carnitine have been removed from the ingredients and replaced with some filler electrolytes.I chalk this up to another instance of shrink-flation where companies cut corners on their food products to increase profits.Is the new version bad? Not necessarily, but after this bottle is done I'll probably check out some alternatives.
