Better recovery time as well
Product works as described. My workouts are more productive. Better recovery time as well. Only one knock.....the flavor that I was sent is not tasty! I wasn't given an option to choose a flavor, so I guess they just sent a random one. I add a lot more water to thin it out because I can't handle the taste at full strength.

Two Stars
Tasted bad and haven't noticed a lot of difference. Primal muscle as a company I wouldn't recommend
B**.
Fully met expectations.
Fully met expectations. Tasted fine and mixed well.I used this in my drink while bicycling in hopes of preserve my weight lifting muscles and this was very convenient way of taking BCAAs. Whether or not BCAAs actually preserve muscle I don't know. I couldn't tell any difference between using this product and plain water. So I would say if you are looking for a BCAA drink you can't go wrong with this one.

Primal Muscle has some work to do on this for it to be a 5 star product. Read my review to find out why!
What’s up my Amazon Health & Fitness Family, it’s me your boy HardbodybyAnthony. For those of you who have not read or seen any of my reviews, I am Certified Master Trainer for over 20 years & I have many certifications, one of which is a certification in Supplementation & Basic Nutrition, so because of my years of knowledge and dedication in helping people achieve healthier lives through exercise & nutrition, is the reason why I do these reviews… in hopes I can help someone, even if that is just one.• I personally buy & use BCAA 4 times per day & I also have my bride taking it too. I go through BCAA’s so this review is on the following: PRIMAL BCAA Drink Mix - Build Lean Muscle Mass, Recover From Workouts Fast, Reduce Body Fat Levels And Maximize Endurance. Citrus Blast Flavor - Money Back Guarantee! ***** BCAA’s are essential for gaining muscle mass, but are especially helpful for maintaining muscle mass while on a calorie-deficit diet. BCAA stimulate protein synthesis, and might do so to a greater extent than a normal protein on its own. BCAA’s also increase synthesis of the cellular machinery responsible for carrying out the process of protein synthesis. As a result, BCAA’s not only increase's the rate of protein synthesis, but they also increase the cell's capacity for protein synthesis! SAY WORD! BCAA’s also reduce the rate of protein breakdown by decreasing the activity of the components of the protein breakdown pathway, and also by decreasing the expression of several complexes involved in protein breakdown. Lastly & real amazing is BCAA supplementation reduces the amount of tryptophan (makes you sleepy) that enters the brain, and therefore reduces the amount of serotonin produced. This might allow you to workout harder & longer! Bottom line my Amazon peeps…. BCAA’s provide you with more muscle mass retained, and a greater percentage in loss of body fat.***** CONS: *****1) The supplement facts have to be the most vague I have ever seen to date. All it indicates is that this is BCAA with a 2:1:1 ratio, BUT does not list what those Amino’s are. I happen to know but the person that is new to the supplement word won’t have any idea. So since Primal Muscle failed on this, let me inform those what they are.********** L-Leucine is the strongest of the BCAA’s, & it is responsible for the regulation of blood-sugar levels, the growth & repair of tissues in skin, bones and of course skeletal muscle. & SHOULD be on the high end of the 2:1:1 ratio********** L-Isoleucine Is very similar to leucine in just about every way. Isoleucine promotes muscle recovery, regulates the blood-sugar levels and stimulates HGH release. But isoleucine holds its own in wound recovery.********** L-Valine helps the repair and growth of muscle tissue, as commonly attributed to BCAA's. It maintains the nitrogen balance and preserves the use of glucose.2) Serving size says 1 scoop is 10.23g but how is that possible when all they list in their ingredients is 7.9g of BCAA’s. That is 2.33g that is unaccounted for & not listed in their supplement facts!********** So as you can imagine, BCAA's are a huge part of my recovery as it should be with anyone that trains hard & frequently. “Primal Muscle BCAA Drink Mix” is falsely dosed at 10.23g per servings & should be 7.9g, which is still really really good. So in comparison to the many BCAA’s i’ve seen and/or reviewed on Amazon, this "Primal Muscle BCAA Drink Mix” is a dosed higher than many. The price is RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED, even at this high dose. I use/buy a much stronger, way more loaded 30 servings BCAA’s that only cost $19.99. This does taste good & Citrus Blast is their ONLY flavor, so would like to see them add more favorable flavors.So if Primal Muscle fixes their supplement facts as mentioned above in cons, Lowers their cost dramatically, this will be a really good BCAA.***** UPDATE *******Because Primal Surge lowered their cost dramatically since I posted my review, I think it is only fair that I change my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars! They are taking steps in the right direction. Now I hope they1) Indicate the breakdown of their BCAA including the ratio breakdown for the laymen customer.2) Fix the amount per serving because 7.9 is cannot be correct because if broken down to the 2:1:1 ratio it would be (3.95 L-Leucine, 1.975 L-Isoleucine, 1.975 L-Valine) and I am pretty positive that just is not correct!3) Fix and/or change the serving size amount because that is also completely off. No possible way the other ingredients listed make up the 2.33g.

I use it diluted through the day
I got it for my husband but I have been using it as well. I've been using this for about 2 weeks now and can't say enough great things about it. The amount of serving sizes serving size gets you more for the money. I never used BCAA's when I work out so I decided to give it a try. This product gave me endurance and also aided me in recovery. I even started to use it just through the day (1/2 of dosage, though) to help me. My workout consists of using light weights first then sprints to then steady state cardio. After my workout I have been completely depleted of energy and felt sluggish and sore. While using this product for the past 2 weeks, I no longer had any of these issues after my workouts. However, my husband feels that he needs to supplement it with other work out supplements because his program is more intense. I give this product 5 starts from my stand point, my husband gave it 4 stars. I received this product discounted to try and review. All opinions are my own
