AntM Reviews BEAST Sports Nutrition BCAA 2:1:1
Mixability
A lillte better than your standard BCAA product. There is still some foaming, but not as much and it seems to dissolve quicker. This is due to using Instaaminos, which should do those things.
Profile
First you will see 5 grams of amino acids at a 2:1:1 ratio. This is pretty standard. Next you will notice some aminos for a hydration complex. Lastly, you will notice the cherry tart powder which BEAST says aids in recovery. I have looked up a few different studies and I have seen some that show a little better muscle recovery/less DOMS, however, that was at a 480 mg dose, versus the 240 which is in BEAST BCAA. I have not used the product long enough to notice increased recovery, but I can say recovery is on par with other BCAA supplements I have used.
Taste
The flavor I selected was tropical breeze. I did not know what to expect since there was not a single flavor profile mentioned on the label. Also, I have never had anything from BEAST's line, so I did not know what to expect from their flavoring. You definitely get hit with a blend of tropical fruits with this. I would say the flavor takes on a nice blend of pineapple and mango, which I would say is a 65/35 ratio. I really enjoyed this flavor.
Price
I cannot comment on this since it is only on their site currently, and it will probably be cheaper once it hits stores.
Recovery
See the profile section.
Bottom Line
A very solid product. For me, price point would be a make or break if I would purchase this or suggest it. Yes, it tastes great and you get your 5 grams of aminos, but the pitch on better recovery may not be worth it. I would need to use this product for an extended period of time to comment on that. In addition, the studies I have seen regarding cherry tart juice for enhanced recovery use double the amount that is in BEAST BCAA. My rating can only take into consideration the taste, mixability, and profile, to an enxtent.
