NutricostBCAA + Hydration Powder (Peach Mango) 30 Servings - Branched Chain Amino Acids with Hydration Complex - Gluten-Free, Non-GMO

Teste, effectiveness. Good Product overall

This is actually one of four flavors of this BCAA drink mix I’m reviewing (the others are Fruit Punch, Raspberry Lemonade, and Tropical Punch). These are functionally more or less the same product, so most of this review applies to the other flavors as well.After about two months of regular use, I’ve found this drink mix to be a worthy alternative to the premixed sports drinks that I had previously relied upon for pre-workout hydration. Its main draw is that it contains the branched chain amino acids (BCAA’s) leucine, isoleucine, and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio. The effects of these BCAA’s won’t be massive, but they should help a bit around the edges with workout recovery, muscle fatigue, and the like. I also approve of the inclusion of electrolytes from interesting sources - sodium from Himalayan rock salt and (some) potassium from coconut water powder.Be advised that free amino acids do contain calories (3.4 kcal/g compared to 4 kcal/g in regular proteins), so the 7 grams of those free amino acids per serving contained in this product provide about 25 calories that don’t show up in the Supplement Facts label. This is kind of understandable given that most products with free amino acids don’t declare them at all, as they’re usually not present in enough quantity to make much of a caloric difference, but it’s still arguably misleading.To close out with some remarks specific to the Peach Mango flavor, I subjectively enjoyed it the least, and found it to foam up the most of the four flavors I tried. Mostly this is because I found something about the aftertaste and how it felt in my stomach after consumption to be ever so slightly nauseating. For what it’s worth, a family member had no issues whatsoever, and I’m not allowing my experience to affect my rating.

I like this BCAA hydration powder. It mixes and dissolves easily into water. I mix one serving with about 30 ounces of water, and the taste is perfect. If I used less I think it would taste pretty strong. I appreciate that the aftertaste is minimal. I like the peach mango flavor.

Tastes good, dissolves well. Priced good at $25 for 30 servings. My wife and I have daily fiber drinks (collagen, protein, bcaa, vitamins etc) so I have tried several brands. I haven't loved all of Nutricost products (tried several) but I really like their fiber and their BCAA line.My one critique is that the Nutricost BCAA powder is a little light on the milligrams of amino acids. EG: my EHP Labs "Beyond BCAA-EAA" has 30% more amino acids per serving but it is also currently priced higher at $35. But EVL BCAA 5000 is currently priced better at $15 with more amino acids per servings.So, honestly, I take into consideration the price when I decide which to purchase next.

I have done a number of different Hydration Powders and this Peach Mango flavor is hands down my favorite! The taste is absolutely delicious! It is refreshing, with just the right balance of peach and mango. It's like sipping on a tropical drink, which makes it so much easier to stay consistent with my supplement routine.Another huge plus is that it’s gluten-free and non-GMO, which aligns perfectly with my dietary needs. The 30-serving container is great value for money, and I love that it mixes easily without any clumping or chalky residue.Overall, Nutricost has nailed it with this product. Whether you’re an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or just looking to improve your hydration and recovery, I highly recommend giving this a try. You won’t be disappointed!

This BCAA drink mix comes in powdered form with enough in the large container for 30 servings, as well as including its own scoop for easy measurements. The peach mango flavor is pleasantly fruity but quite strong, even mixing it with the higher quantity of water recommended (between 8-16oz). I can't imagine mixing it with 8oz would taste very good with how strong it is, but if you're just trying to gulp it down before a workout, you can always go that route. I'd prefer to get the extra hydration in me before a workout anyway!It's a little bit difficult to mix at first and doesn't dissolve in right away, even with stirring - but then it seems to melt into the water of its own accord within a few minutes, so just be patient with it. As I mentioned, the flavor is pretty good, but it does have a chalkiness to it, including some bits that never quite mix in and you end up getting all at once at the end of the drink. I assume that's the calcium, but it might be some of the other ingredients as well.Overall, this is a good option for a BCAA supplement and I've been impressed with Nutricost's products overall.

I don't know why, but this one is gross too. The peach rings one is okay, but then there's not enough hydration included. This one has the right amount of hydration for a light exercise. It's really not the worst flavor, but it isn't the best either. There's just a weird undertone of flavor to it.The current price is $24.95. If you're getting it for the BCAA's then it's probs fine. If you want it as a hydration supplement, don't waste your money.

For the most part, this BCAA powder performs as expected, and the flavor, in my opinion, makes me feel like I'm drinking juice. This may dissuade from the product, but if you fear that it will be TOO sweet then let me just say that I consider to be a mild sweet. It didn't taste like candy, but more of...virgin cocktail lol.
