Genius BCAA Powder - 5g Vegan BCAAs L-Glutamine, Cognizin & Rhodiola Muscle Recovery Energy Support 100mg Caffeine Pre, Intra, Post-Workout Nootropic Supplement for Focus & Performance - Orange

I started my review for their "Pre" like this so let me just say it again that first off let me just say I can only be honest as lying will not benefit anyone, if the product doesn't serve you then you can return it but I doubt you will be doing this.The high rating of stars is real, the praise this brand gets is real and the hype is all real. This "pre" is some high quality stuff. We as fitness individuals really need to understand what we are consuming. Artificial Sweeteners are NOT a good thing in your your food OR fitness supplements....what a big contraindication. But most products are littered with it!Now to the review, I've been in the fitness industry since 99' and I have had a lot of products. When it comes to BCAA's you have to know that most companies source it from animal/human hair and nails. Not a very delectable, desireable, clean or reliable source.Vegan(plant based) instatized(fast dissolving) aminos here. Now I've read the previous reviews that it just bad tasting or not good.....SOOO NOT true it just isn't very sweet like others in its category or even the pre by the same company but doesn't even really need to be? and it taste exactly like the flavor profile it's stated to be citrus/orange, that's another thing that I read: it doesn't tastes like it stated, incorrect as well. It reminds me exactly of the taste the original Gatorade USED to be in the 70's and 80's, which basically a slightly sweet, but more on the slightly sour/salt water taste, which is refreshing honestly! People drank that with no problem and drink the now quite sweet version without any rebuttal.This is a refreshing orange taste people...yes the initial taste is like "hmm not at all sweet" but a good and real tasting orange flavor nonetheless.The quality is what matters and it is all HERE as with their "pre" and other products as well.Keeps you energized, anabolic...profile is good enough to work on it's own as a pre, I've read reviews of women doing that and I see why. And again a refreshing taste, not a sweet beverage/desert taste fueled by Sucralose/AceK combo that we are used to consuming. This is not a hippie formula where you know you're getting the quality but you just suck it up on the smell and taste just to consume it....no it really is refreshing and nowhere near awful tasting. Trust me I would say it if it were true.Bcaa's are good for anti-catabolism, muscular energy, and mechanical output. This is a great product by a seemingly great brand that gets it. Good job guys, this is sooo needed in the market that it's beyond "not even funny", it's WAY over due! Hope this helps, I know it will to all you readers, because I read reviews too. Have a blessed day!💪🏾

I was really impressed by the Genius Brand's pre workout, burn, and caffeine pills so I thought I would try this one as well. I love that everything from this company is all natural. No artificial flavors, colors, dyes, banned substances, or proprietary blend. You know exactly what you're getting in this product and putting into your body. It comes in smooth non clumped powder and smells really good and keeps its appearance and aroma over the course of taking whole container. One of my kids actually said it smells like sour patch kids candy and the other one said it smells like strawberry lemonade, lol. The mixing wasn't the best for me as a lot of ingredients would settle on the bottom of my shaker if I didn't drink it all at once so I would just give it a little shake each time I took a drink of it so that isn't a big deal for me. I'm not a huge fan of the power orange flavor which isn't a surprise to me because I have never been a fan of orange drinks. All I really care about is if the product actually works for me and does what it's intended to do which it does. This product helps keep me focused throughout the day, helps with endurance, helps with muscle growth and recovery, and has 100 mg of natural caffeine so also provides a little extra boost of energy with it. I also have not experienced any side effects with this which is awesome. I definitely recommend this product as well as Genius Brands pre workout, burn, and caffeine pills products!

When I first opened the container, I was really glad that I wasn't hit with the overpowering smell of a fake fruity mix and I didn't have any trouble with the powder lingering in the air after scooping. I added these BCAAs to my 28oz blender bottle with ice cold water. Initially, the smell was a little hard to get used to, but the taste itself was great! The orange flavor was very refreshing and tasted very natural--not too sweet or overpowering like many of the other BCAAs out there. Genius's BCAAs claim combat mental and physical exhaustion as well as provide an extra boost with100mg of caffeine per serving. So far I have tested this product on leg heavy workout days, upper body: shoulders/arms+abs, as well as total body workouts. These BCAAs definitely gave me the kick I needed to push through these gruesome workouts, and I do feel as though my mind was clearer and more focused on each of the movements I was doing. At the gym, it can be easy to fall into the trap of just getting through a set and letting your form slack, but I felt as though these BCAAs really helped build that mind-body connection to make sure that I was training efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, these BCAAs DO NOT contain any artificial colors or sweeteners, something that I am very picky about. SO many of the other companies out there have BCAAs that contain Redlake#40 or are sweetened with sucralose or aspartame. With genius BCAAs, I knew I could trust the ingredients to be free of all of these additives and knew that I would be refueling my muscles with amino acids that were clean, without unnecessary additives that my body would have to go through extra work to process. Overall, great product! Would definitely recommend for the high-quality ingredients and consistency with its claims of focus and pump.
