Gnarly NutritionBCAA Powder, Berry Lemonade – Pre-Workout BCAAS Amino Acids – NSF Sport Certified – Supplement to Support and Rebuild Muscle – Berry Lemonade with Caffeine, 10.58 oz

I have been drinking Gnarly's aminos daily for the last 4 years. They recently revamped the flavor to be less tart. I honestly didn't mind the old formula's flavor but did notice a difference with less tartness on the after taste with my current bag. I appreciate the caffeine free version as I already use a pre-workout that's loaded with caffeine and prefer to drink my aminos post-workout because I'm a thirsty girl. I have noticed that when I drink Gnarly's aminos, I feel less muscle soreness the following day which allows me to get the full benefit of my required back to back training days at high intensity. There are a lot of aminos on the market but I choose Gnarly's for the mild flavor and easy digestion.

Gnarly Essential Aminos stim-free are an absolute ESSENTIAL for me! I’ve used the Gnarly Nutrition BCAAs in the past and liked them but this new revamped formula not only works better and I notice it absorbs faster, but also tastes better!! It’s less zinger-tart and a lot easier to add another scoop to a bike bottle when you’re on the road or on trail. They’re the cleanest, best tasting and yet another premium, delicious product from Gnarly Nutrition, you’re going to love it!

Sometimes I mix it in with my pre-workout. Other times, I like to drink it by itself. Either way, I love this stuff! And it's caffeine free which allows me to take it during an evening workout as well. Throughout a heavy training block, I notice my body is less sore and fatigued, which helps me power through multiple training days and stay on track for the remainder of the week. As a climber, I also like to drink this during a long day outside. The flavors are delicious and I usually swap between the berry lemonade and fruit punch but I bet the lemon lime is good too! That's the biggest perk about Gnarly Nutrition, the flavor. I use their other products too, like their vegan protein, and I haven't found another brand whose flavor profile can match Gnarly's.

I had started doing twice a day workouts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and it seemed no matter what I ate or how much I slept, I never felt super recovered. I sit at a desk all day, and would come back from workout number one and feel so tired, it was hard to drag myself through workout two. I am not generally a huge supplement person, I always kind of believed I should be able to get whatever I needed from proper nutrition.But hell, this looked good, and I liked it had no crap in it, I can't tolerate artificial sweeteners or food dye. I have used it for a week now, and it has made a noticeable difference in my performance. I am less sore, have more energy to complete my workouts, and generally feel better during my training. I work out 6 days a week, with two of those days being doubles, so that is a total of 8 workouts per week on top of a full time job and taking classes, I need all the help I can get! I only knocked a star off because the price is pretty steep for the amount you get, but considering the crappy fillers other brands use, I guess I can understand their price point. It still hurts a bit though :)Bottom line, give this a whirl. honestly, worst case you just have a tasty beverage, best case you find it really helps your training.

So good! The free form amino acids absorb really quickly. I have been using them before and during every climbing session in the gym and outside. They reduce muscle protein breakdown (thus reducing soreness), decrease delayed onset muscle soreness, and reduce turnaround time between high intensity workouts. I've noticed that it starts my muscle repair early with active recovery..I can start recovery while I'm still climbing! I also love that it's caffeine free, since I already get my caffeine from the Gnarly pre-workout (highly recommend the Essential Aminos, Gnarly pre-workout, and Gnarly collagen combo). The Berry Lemonade flavor is delicious. Loved it so much that I got several so that I'm stocked up for months.

As a plant-based endurance athlete, I am always cognizant that I may be lower in essential aminos than others. That's why I use have used Gnarly BCAAs in the past. But now Gnarly has outdone themselves!Gnarly's new Aminos Caffeine Free version is even better! I really like the taste of the Berry Lemonade version.Here's what it does for me: It helps reduce muscle protein breakdown after workouts and decreases delayed onset muscle soreness. That means I am able to fully recover before my next workout, especially high intensity ones like I am doing now in my ultra marathon training.Highly recommend for anyone!

As a BCAA product, this works relatively well. However, the flavor does not suit me. It is way to "in your face." It would be better maybe if there was a flavorless version. It dissolves well.I tried this because Gnarly is a good brand, and I thought maybe I could get more product for the same amount of money I spend on my prior brand.I will finish this can, but I will not buy it again. The other brand I had been using, although pricier, actually works better for me and has no flavor.

a truly great product and it tastes delicious. light, just sweet enough and has all the aminos acids you're looking for. A great supplement for your daily, busy life.
