5/5
Initial impression: I got it in the mail, and as with all supplements, I had to open it in the driveway. The product label was appealing, the seal was intact, the smell of the powder was mild. Crystalline powders could be seen in the mix.
Measurement Accuracy: The scoop is reported to hold 11.6g of product. One level scoop weighs out to 13.3g. Yes, I used tare for the scoop before putting powder into it. So, it is fair to say I will use a loose, slightly below level scoop.
Mixability: This product seems to mix on its own, as soon as you put it in. I dropped a scoop in, turned around to put the tub away, and when I looked back, no floaters and no particulates in the shaker cup. One good shake for good measure.
Appearance of mixed product: Hard to define, brilliant green maybe. Very appealing.
Taste/Flavor: Holy Sh**. This is delicious.A tad sweet for me in 8 oz of water, so I added a few more ounces of water. Perfect. NOTE: I drink black coffee, unsweet teat, and unflavored supp powders most of the time, so what is sweet for me, is perfect for most people.
Satiety: Great. I use this Intra and Post workout while I do fasted training. This product more than fills the requirement for this. Extra energy and no feeling of hunger.
Overall effectiveness: I am not finished with my log of this product as of yet, but if anything changes I will post an update. I already notice strength gains and improved LBM. Muscle soreness i also improved.
I am adding this to my Nutraplanet shopping cart right now, and when I talk the wife into it, within this next couple weeks, I will purchase another tub.
***I ended up buying another tub, and I will be continuing to use these bcaa's. These will be a permanent staple. They are worth the money, and they taste amazing.
