InnovaPharm Novamino Review

Invalid Link Removed

Taste

Cotton Candy - The flavoring of this cotton candy just right. There is no artifical colors or dyes so its not strong. Right away you get a slight rush of cotton candy that had a very long lasting aftertaste. While some Cotton Candy's on the market are bold in taste. While the flavoring is not strong, this settles very easy on the stomach. I would not try and diulte the product because of not have any sweeteners or dyes or else you may mask the flavor. I personally enjoyed this greatly.

Mixability

The powder was very fine, so instantly hitting the water the powder started to mix. I have 0 clumps, and this mixed instantly. With very little in the formula I knew this would be a sure easy mix, and it did mix very well.

Formula

6g of 2:1:1 BCAA's
2.5g Betaine
Electrolytes
1g Citrulline Malate

6g is a good dose of Amino's I personally like to take 10g minimum prior to training due to training fasted upon waking. With 3g of Leucine you are getting an adequate amount per scoop to stimulate Muscle Protein Syntehsis.

2.5g of Betaine is an adequate dose to help with performance, endurance, and recovery during your workout.

1g of citrulline is very underdosed (6-8 is normal) that can aid with endurnace, pump, and lactic acid build up.

Electrolytes are included to help with giving the body what it loses during training. Electrolytes can also help keep the body saturated during training and hydrated properly.

Overall a very basic formula that can be stacked with other bulk ingredients or other stim/stim-free pre-workouts for your peri-workout beverage.

Overall

This is a very simple formula that has good flavoring. While this is my first experience with the brand I have nothing bad to say about them. An open label (which is good to see and not a prop blend), that has an adequate amount of betaine and BCAA's per serving. WHile I would like to see the citrulline much higher (6g at least). What makes this product nice is it can stack with the other products on their lineup very well or bulk powders to create the intra-workout beverage of your choice. Making something very simple and affordable leaves multiple doorways to stack things for your goal.

The only downside may be the price especially since it is only offered off their main webpage. Once the brand expands into other retailers it may become more affordable compared to other BCAA Products offered on the market that have more bang for their buck.

Awesome review man! Glad you liked the flavor. The citrulline is more of a flavor enhancer in this mix actually (literally improved flavored by 3x with the addition of a gram, imo). Also on the availability front we have numerous partner retailers across the US and our products can be found for great prices in stores across the US (and sporadically released coupon codes drop the price to be more competitive other brands which are widely distributed online. If anyone needs help finding a local retailer, let me know!
 
NOVAMINO Review: Fuji Apple Pear

Fuji Apple Pear flavor

Mix: I wanted to start with this because it blew me away. I take bcaas to work/travel each day and usually just throw a scoop into my bottle and then add water when its time to drink later (liquids cant go through airports ha). I often reuse the same bottle a few days in a row and theres usually a little liquid in the bottom from the day/drink before that the powder sticks to so when I shake mine up each day, its usually a bit of a process getting everything unstuck and mixed... Not with these. the wet powder still dissolved INSTANTLY the second I added water, with zero sticking or clumping. Also no foam or floaters... Absolutely the best mixing bcaa product I've ever used.

Taste: Upon opening the tub, the smell is not crazy strong, but exactly what youd expect from the name. Notes of each (apple and pear) are clearly discernible. The flavor is exactly the same as the smell in that it also is very clear that there are two distinct flavors. The pear I would say is the strogner of the two, in that the flavor is more of a sweet than tart. Thats not to say there is no tartness to it, as there is a slight one, but the sweet pear along with the sweet from a fuji apple (which are typically far more sweet than tart as is) make a nice combo. I mixed it in 20oz of water and the strength was just right. Not watered down, but also not overly strong or sweet.

Overall: Based on the mix and taste (which are the two key components of a bcaa product since the recovery will be the same for just about any similar product) this is truly a top tier product. The additional goodies in the formula are a nice bonus for someone like me that mainly only cares about the bcaas themselves. If this can be found for a competitive price, its a shoe in as one of the best on the market that I've ever tried.

Let's just say I was very excited to try this! I saw the profile with the extra ingredients and then I saw the flavor it came in! I love peach flavored products. Almost every peach flavored product on the market is paired with something, the most common is mango. I'm not a mango person at all. So I open the tub, give a nice sniff. It smells amazing! Just like it says, sweet peach, I'm immediately blown away. So I added 12 oz of water and 1 level scoop. There was a little foam but that was from the blender ball cause it went away very quick. It mixed perfectly and there was nothing floating at the bottom. One word for flavor.....WOW! It is to a tee a sweet peach, absolute perfection! I cannot get over this flavor. It is the most refreshing and enjoyable flavor I've ever had for any product I've ever used! It is not overpowering, it literally is the perfect amount of flavor. I will always have this on hand. You guys did an amazing job and created a top notch product. Flavor and mixability are 10's for sure. Thank you for sending me a tub to try and review.
 
I have mine as well. I will post a review tomorrow when I can use it how I use stuff like this. I forgot my shaker cup at work yesterday and didn't have it this morning. :(

I think the fuji apple pear may be my favorite. It's just flavored perfectly and is a bit stronger than the georgia peach... still a toss up though.
 
My review: I think everyone had a different flavor. I chose the Caribbean Colada.

Mixability: the mixability is phenomenal in my opinion. One of the biggest complaints with BCAA drinks is the foam. I shook the hell out of this in 20oz of water and the foam was so minimal at the top. Product mixed thoroughly and there wasn't really any particulation (made up word perhaps? :)) at the bottom. Shake and drink, shake and drink. No waiting for foam to settle.

Taste: I have tried pina colada flavored powders before. My coconut than I care to have. When I heard the name, I thought of a coconut punch flavor. With no artificial colors or flavors, the taste is freaking delicious. Exactly as I called it. A hint of coconut with more of the pineapple coming through. It is very good and I wish more things came in this flavor. With no artificial crap and flavoring this good, looking to get your supplements in a healthier way hasn't been easier.

Overall: while being a basic formula, one of the most popular bcaa products on the market is almost the EXACT same thing. You get TMG instead of glutamine and .5 grams less of leucine. This product kills that free products flavor and gives the regular flavors a run for their money. This is a high quality product and puts InnovaPharm on the map for me. I don't know the price point, but if it's competitive, absolutely give this a shot. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Note to my review: I like to be honest in my review. I read the label again and realized that it has artificial flavors. I note this because it wasn't fair for me to compare the taste to a product that has no artificial flavors....carry on

Awesome review! The coupon code in my signature knocks the price down and I know a lot of small supp stores are selling it at a great price!
 
Cotton candy for sure looks awesome. I'd be interested
