Granite Essential Amino Acids Powder for Muscle Recovery and Growth with 10g EAAs and 7g BCAAs - Soy-Free, Gluten-Free, 448g (30 Servings), Strawberry Lemonade

I love the taste. It says to mix with 6-12 oz. of water, but I use 16 oz, and the taste is perfect without being overbearing. The only thing is this is NOT strawberry-lemonade. It is clearly strawberry-banana. That said, it is still very good. It also keeps me very well-hydrated during my workouts. It's too early to see any results from it, but I am loving it so far.

Quality ingredients, taste is quite good. I drink this when working out. Aminos help repair muscles.

I bought the Strawberry Lemonade flavor. It tasted like warm vomit. Usually I can put the taste aside and focus on the benefit. But this time I couldn't get past it. I tried several times, but finally to keep myself from puking, I had to dump it. After I did, that taste haunted me all night. I drank water and ate something to try and forget it. It didn't work. I'm really disappointed because it appears to be a good product, and I spent good money on it. But I just can't stomach it.

This product is new and improved, however, the package is not convenient like the old container. I tried this flavor and it’s not bad, but it’s not the best either, taste like you’re drinking cotton candy which isn’t necessarily refreshing when you’re performing at the gym, but to each their own. I must say that it’s very smooth and not chalky. As far as the effects, I do feel like it contributes to my improvement in performance. The product is damn near perfect, I just wish they had more variety of flavors and the old container back. I preferred the old lemonade/blueberry flavor, but they didn’t have it this time around which is why I bought the new fruit punch. I don’t regret it, but I will like other options. I’m very supportive of the brand, definitely my go to, but I don’t know anyone else that knows the brand and it’s probably why they lack flavor variety.

Not all Aminos supplements are the same. Most claim to have 7-10 grams of amino acids. Be careful! Not all amino acids are created equally! Most of the "big name" companies only offer 5 grams BCAA's. These are the most important for muscle protein synthesis and rebuilding, so keep reading. Granite Essential Aminos provides 7 grams of BCAA's using Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine at a 2:1:1 ratio. Granite has a total of 10 Essential Amino Acids (EAA) for a total of 10 grams. Big difference from the major companies which mostly only contain up to 6 EAA. And the taste is amazing and completely mixes with cold water, unlike some others which don't completely mix.. This was a very easy choice for me to make the switch from a major brand I was using previously. Ive been working out for 15 years with a modified cross fit and lifting routine. Since making the switch to Granite and coupling Granites Essential Aminos with Granites Protein three months ago, I have seen the most noticeable gains. Friends and coworkers have also noticed. I highly recommend Granite products if you are serious about your workouts and want to see a noticeable difference.

Exelente producto de muy buena calidad,me encanto

I will say that I'm happy enough with the BCAA / EAA mix and think the product itself is of a good quality, but the strawberry lemonade flavor definitely tastes like cough-syrup to the point I was even considering returning it, but figured I'd just stick it out for the remainder of this pack. Not a huge fan of the zip-lock packaging either since it is a bit hard to close / keep closed, so I would definitely not recommend this to someone who was planning on moving it around / traveling with it. But, since, for me, it just ends up sitting in my kitchen cupboard anyways, if that dropped the price, I'm ok enough with it. Overall, I'd say I'm "ok enough" with this, but will probably try out a different brand next time and definitely would not order this flavor again!

The only reason I did not like the flavor is that I don't like pre-flavored powders that use Sucralose instead of real sugar. I know all the products do that, but I would like the option of an "unflavored" powder so I can add my own natural flavoring to it. Other than that, it is a great product. Show major gains in my lifting routine once I started lifting and drinking after my workout. It seemed to take a month or two to see the results but my muscle mass and increased dramatically. I have never been this muscular and I use the "Recovery" mix during my workouts too to keep up my stamina. I am over 50 and never had muscle structure like this in my 30s. I only drink it after hard workouts and do those only 3 days a week. My recovery time is better and I am rarely fatigued anymore.
