      Overly Sweet and Overpowering Taste
      Great product as far as supplements go. But too sweet for my taste. I dilute one measured scoop into 32 ounces of cold water, and it's still very overly sweet. The artificial sweetener is overpowering and leaves a strong, fake sugar aftertaste. I give it 5 stars for performance and 3 stars for taste. So 4 stars overall.

      Questionable for the money
      Based on my experience with other Body Tech products, I doubt the integrity of the ingredients label. In addition, the handle on the scoop is so short compared to the depth of the bottle, it would be better to have a tentacle than a hand to reach the product toward the bottom

      Can you use this at night ?
      Jacob SFeb 3, 2024

        You can use this at any time of the day! On days where I workout I drink it during my workouts to improve the quality of my workout as well as increase the duration of my workout. Since this BCAA blend does not contain any caffeine, it does not cause any issues with sleeping even if you drink it right before going to bed!
