It is advised that you take 2 servings per workout session. You get just over 25gs of protein as well which is very handy . You get the standard 2:1:1 breakdown of the amino acids which is most common among BCAA products.

Taste

I used the orange flavour and its possibly the best tasting BCAA’s I’ve ever used. Thereare no problems drinking a double serving during a workout. No bloating issues either which can be a problem with some intra workout drinks.

Side Effects

None

Price

£39.99 for a tub with 32 servings in but since you are advised to take a double serving each workout it will only last you 16 workouts. This doesn’t sound a lot but assuming you hit the gym 4 times a week it’ll last you roughly a month.

Results

I love it. It does everything you want it to and more. First and foremost it’ll reduce your muscle soreness drastically, I’d buy it for this reason alone. The next thing you’ll notice is that your muscle won’t tire out as fast, you’ll be able to hit that extra rep or two. It also seemed to increase my pump considerably during a high rep workout. BCAA Intra Hardcore should in theory trigger the growth hormone during your heavy work which should then lead to more muscle (in very simplistic terms), I haven’t been using this product long enough to properly assess whether this works or not.

It’s fairly pricey but it is very good, I imagine you’d be able to find it on offer anyway. I highly recommend you try this next time you buy an intra workout. If you have never tried an intra workout before then it could well be the missing factor from your training, it really will make a noticeable difference. 9/10
