FLAVOURS
Optimum Nutrition BCAA Boost currently comes in 3 flavours at the time of this review. All flavours are top of the line addictive! The list of current flavours are:
Grape Burst / Mango Peach Wave / Watermelon Cooler
Now while all 3 have received 5/5 stars from our customer feedback on social media channels, it’s the Watermelon Cooler that takes the prize for us!
At the end of the day flavour of choice will be a person by person decision. But we promise that if you like watermelon, you’ll love watermelon cooler. If you like Grape, you’ll be frothing over Grape Burst and so forth! So no matter what, you won’t be disappointed!
WHEN/HOW TO TAKE
Like all amino acid supplements, the best time to take BCAA Boost is during or post workout. If you are in a ‘cutting’ phase and looking to retain as much muscle mass possible, sipping on BCAA Boost during cardio will help this process by keeping your body from a catabolic state.
FINAL WORDS
Whether you an everyday gym goer, an extreme athlete, someone looking to decrease muscle soreness; or just looking to get more water in throughout the day. Optimum Nutrition BCAA Boost will NOT disappoint. Paired with flavours even the most pickiest of people will love from the first sip. Another this to point out is the incredibly low price point with BCAA Boost! Perfect for beginners or anyone on budget. You really can’t go wrong. We can’t recommend this one enough! No matter what flavour you decide to choose!
