I found 90 servings for $36. That would be $.40 a serving. I cannot remember the last time I saw aminos for that low of a price. Has anyone used them before? Did they taste good? What flavors would you suggest.
 
They taste great and mix up clear. The only one i wasn't fond of was the tigers blood which is like a pina colada to me. But yea i definitely recommend it
 
My favorite is the bomb scicle its the bomb lol
 
Tried sour batch, skiddles, and star fruit or whatever it's called. Skiddles is the best imo. money0351 has tried a good amount of them as well.
 
You also have to realize comparing this to other aminos is a far stretch. You are paying for flavoring + Bulk BCAA's.
MAN Iso-Amino is just BCAA's, things like Purple Wraath, Amino IV, Core ABC etc have extra recovery goodies (BA, CM, SynerGlut etc) which could aid performance/endurance/recovery depending on how you are using your aminos (pre-workout fasted training//dosed as a bolus) .

For the price yeah its good, have not seen much feedback, but again its just bulk BCAA's(5g) + Flavoring for the most part.
 
^^^ This. it's just bcaa's but the flavour of Sour Batch Kids is on point.

And this is what I was thinking as well. I usually stick with PW or Juiced Aminos which are more than just aminos. Often, these can be found for around $.50 a serving, so 10 cents more, but there are also ingredients that improve the formula. Which is why I am still debating on the deal. I didn't think about it in terms of bulk aminos, but you're right, that's all it is.
 
Where did you find them for that price? because even though it is just straight BCAAs it is the best tasting one ive ever used. Skittles, Sour Patch, and Starblaze are amazing.
 
They definitely taste like what they're supposed to. I basically use them to make gummies or slushies.

And you can always get them fairly cheap
 
Jebus you guys are making me lust for my blender and a big bag of skittles bcaas. I haven't tried them due to their limited ability even for great flavoring, I try to buy aminos in bulk....but the 90 servings puts this product back on radar. The skittle amino slushy sounds like heaven on earth...
 
How do you make amino slushy? I haven't touched bcaas since the disgusting flavor and mixability that was OG purple wrath

Just mix some BCAA's and freeze them in an ice tray until completely frozen.
Then, I always mix another scoop with cold water and pour into a blender with the BCAA ice cubes

It's like a anabolic margarita on a hot day
 
The flavors are legit!! Sour Batch was a bit to sour for me by the 3rd serving, the Starblaze flavor is my favorite.
 
I derided not to jump on it. Yea, they may taste great, but it would be cheaper to buy bulk aminos and flavor them with packets or drops. Not a bad deal if someone is just looking for pre flavored bulk aminos though.

Are those like the retarded cousins of the Sour Patch Kids?

I think they might be lol. Some posters above said skittles but they are called fruitties to avoid copyright infringement.

I was hoping for fuzzy peach or Swedish fish flavour but not sure they will be more...

Swedish fish would honestly get me to buy them. It is my all time favorite candy.

All Swedish fish lovers unite....let's email bomb MAN with requests.
 
I just came across a bogo on them. Has anyone tried the dorks flavor?
 
I'm surprised they used the term Sour Batch kids along with the color combo. It's definitely a trademark issue.

It looks like they smartened up by calling the Nerds flavor ones Dorks.

I'm gonna try them at least with the bogo deal

Actually no. The candy is Sour Patch Kids so 'batch' should be legally acceptable.

Actually yes, please don't correct someone when you obviously dont know the law.

This would be an easy trademark case. It is a likelihood of confusion issue due to the similarity of the terms and the trade mark colors being copied almost directly.

It is, I just got their inside email. It isn't a great price, so I'll wait, but damn I'm excited. I will definitely be getting a tub even though it is just your standard BCAA product.

Its not something your going to see so much as feel, speaking for myself I have noticed that the DOMS are much milder and lesser in length when im supplementing with bcaas than when im not. They are for aiding in the repair of muscle tissues from what I understand so if that's a waste then I guess,

I can see that, I think if I got started using them I'd put them in my intraworkout drink or something.

BCAA's are free forms of protein they would help you if you do not reach enough protein in the 24 hour period from whole foods + whey protein, recovery not so much. Maybe a product with extra's including LCLT, CM, BA or other forms of goodies to aid your performance/endurance/recovery

Best is subjective. Most people do not even need them in the first place since they are meeting protein intake and more protein is not always better. Once protein minimums are met carbs and fats are more sparing

Some good information for you first:

No need to sip on BCAA's all day (From Mr Cooper):

Don't fall for the "it's a great replacement for sugary drinks" argument. BCAAs are 6 calories per gram, and when sipped in an all day fashion, contribute heavily to both an insulin response and gluconeogenesis. Sipping on BCAA’s takes away from MPS (Muscle Protein Synthesis) as levels never get a chance to reach refractory stages before being spike dagain The net effect is increased insulin and blood sugar. So when you sip on BCAAs instead of sugary drinks...you replace blood sugar and insulin with blood sugar and insulin.

BCAA's would only benefit you for fasted AM Training dosed pre-workout or as a bolus between meals 4-6 hours apart

Nope. I don't need them that badly. I will wait until they are BOGO or B2G1F. Better value that way compared to their introductory sale. Plus, I definitely do not need another shaker. I already have too many!

I usually train fasted and when I don't, my pre workout meal and post workout meal are about 4-5 hours apart. So I'll sip on them intra then.
 
^^^ even with meals speed 4-5 hours apart there would be no need for BCAA's due to food overlap . It would be best to take the BCAA as a bolus instead of "sipping" on them which cooper dictated above.
