Naked BCAAs

So I've been buying flavored BCAAs from other brands but got to the point where I can hardly choke them down. Artificial flavors and stevia etc really gross me out. I thought surely the plain ones would be vile because those artificial flavors are SO strong -- they must be covering something up? And yes, I read reviews about how impossible the plain ones are to choke down. Anyway, I was prepared... I mixed my first dose with a couple ounces each of lemon juice and ginger juice, then chased it with the recommended 10 oz water. It was fine and I didn't taste anything but juice. (I love lemon and ginger and could chug either one straight.) Today I tried it plain in water. Also fine. Yes there's a bitter flavor, but it's not too bad. Halfway through it got just a little unpleasant and I mixed in some lemon juice. That was perfect. What else can I say? It mixes great.

The NAKED Strawberry Lemonade BCAAs have been a great addition to my workout routine. I bought it because I wanted a clean BCAA formula without artificial sweeteners, dyes or unnecessary fillers, and this one checks every box. It’s literally just what you need and nothing extra. The flavor surprised me in a good way. Strawberry lemonade tastes refreshing, not overly sweet, and mixes instantly with no clumping. It’s easy to sip during workouts and doesn’t leave any weird aftertaste. I’ve noticed better recovery and less soreness on the days I take it, especially after heavy training. It also feels lighter on my stomach compared to other BCAAs I’ve tried in the past. If you’re looking for a natural, clean BCAA powder that actually tastes good and supports recovery, this is a solid choice. I’ll definitely keep it in my routine.

It is what is it. It’s BCAA powder. I tried it in shakes about 3 times, and the pure form taste of it, I couldn’t stomach it. It definitely has a vitaminy chalk after taste, even in smoothies, shakes, yogurt, etc… it’s all I could taste and it made me sick to only taste that. If you like that taste or are limited to what TYPE of BCAA (not flavored) you have to go with, this brand is good and has quality. I guess pure form of things tastes like that. I need a recipe book on how to not taste it.

Ok folks, so I've seen people review this complaining about the smell etc. To such comments it seems there seems to be a double standard - they want it to be 'naked', but then when naked isn't covered up they aren't happy with what 'naked' means. I agree that the product does not smell good, but I simply choose not to smell it - I hold my breath, open the container, add it to my drink shaker, put the lid back on, shake it up, drink it, rinse the shaker out and breath again - takes all of about 15 seconds & don't even smell it on my breath after drinking it. It has an unusual - although not bad after taste for a moment. After that I make a protein shake and don't think I taste any after taste after that. Anyway, if you want pure at least they appear to be true to their word, and I use it after my workouts without problem. Seems to be a good product. Happy workouts - 4/5 stars due to the ordor, but maybe it should be 5 since I'm getting exactly what I asked for without cover up.

I recently purchased Naked Nutrition BCAAs, and so far its working well for me. The fact that its free from any artificial additives is a huge plus as I prefer clean supplements. The pharmaceutical-grade BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio provide me with the essential amino acids I need for my workouts. Despite the slight bitter taste, I found it to be tolerable. The quick dissolving nature of the powder also makes it convenient to use during my workouts. The 100 servings per container ensure that I have a long-lasting supply without breaking the bank, in addition to being vegan, soy-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO I appreciate the simplicity of the ingredients and the effectiveness of the product in supporting my fitness goals. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a high-quality BCAA supplement without unnecessary additives.

I purchased the unflavored one. It is absolutely disgusting. It taste like you threw up in your mouth a little. No joke! I've tried mixing it in strong flavored drinks to mask the taste and NOTHING works. I don't know if it is actually a good supplement because I haven't been able to finish drink.

Yeah, everyone’s right, this stuff stinks...so what? Sure, it’s a powerful stink, but it disappears the moment you add it to any liquid, leaving absolutely no flavor (that I can taste) at all. So, I’ve been using this steadily for a little over a month now, and I really think it’s a great product all around. I was regularly sore after intense workouts from my trainer, I mean nearly every day I’d see her. Since using this (along with Naked Creatine, which I also love), I’ve had only one instance of intense soreness post workout, and even then it was while I was also very sick with a sinus infection, so I’m sure my body not being well overall didn’t help with my recovery. I love that it’s flavorless, too, so on days I screw up and don’t add it to my preworkout protein shake, I can just toss it in a tiny amount of plain water (like half a cup tops) in a blender bottle and just chug it to get it inside my body. The cost for 100 servings can’t be beat, either. I’ll definitely repurchase this when I run out. As a side note, the stank can serve a purpose from time to time if need be. We visited CO a few weeks ago and found ourselves with a few extra treats we couldn’t finish while there, so we stashed them in the BCAAs just in case we were pulled over on the way home. The smell of the BCAAs completely covered any smell our Colorado goodies had. So...bonus?!

Been putting this into my morning coffee after a run. Seems to help recharge my energy and muscle maintenance. It's a bit bitter, which would increase the bitterness of black coffee, but is fine with cream and stevia or maple syrup. It mixes in easily, and seems to be good quality.
