So this was the first BSN product I have tried. Many people have mixed reactions with BSN and with the first impression of this product, I feel like they are a pretty good company. Amino X is advertised as an effervescent BCAA formula with enhanced absorption of other BCAA formulas. To the review!!!!!

Taste/Mixability: The flavor I had was watermelon. The flavor was alright. It wasn't the best taste in the world but it was bearable. It also mixed really good. The only thing I did not like about this was after mixing it, the lid on my shaker cup would pop open. That is where this product get the word effervescent from. Effervescent meaning extreme carbonation to BSN I assume.

Effectiveness: I have tried this product in every way I could. I tried this pre-workout, intra-workout, and post-workout. I have found the best results with this product to be either pre-workout and post-workout. With taking it pre-workout, I took it with my multi-vitamin, beta alanine, and sometimes a caffeine pill. For post-workout, I took it with my multi-vitamin, glutamine, and my creatine. 30 minutes later I would take my protein shake. The soreness was still there when I took this, but, I felt a lot less sore than usual.

Price: I paid $28 for this. The price was decent but I wish it was cheaper. There are 30 servings in here so it was alright. If this product was $22-$25, I would definitely buy it again.

Profile: The profile for Amino X was pretty good. Since it's a BCAA product, I don't really care about the extra vitamins or electrolytes in here. Although I do enjoy those extra ingredients, I buy the product for the BCAAs. In one scoop in this, you get 10 grams of BCAAs, taurine, alanine, and citrulline. The profile was what got me to try it. I liked the profile but I wished I got more out of this product.

Overall: Amino X was a decent product. Try it out for yourself and see how you like it. Amino X is a great product to try out if you want to try a new BCAA product. It's also decently priced and while it is not my favorite BCAA formula, it's still on my top BCAA list.

This is one of the many different bcaa powders i have tried. The big difference between this and the rest is that it is "effervescent" so it has that kind of a carbonated feeling.

Overall i give it an 8/10 because i didnt notice any super crazy results but definitely the recovery was better with it. and helped with my overall endurance during my workouts. Also the 10:1:1 ratio of leucine:isoleucine:valine is phenomenal

taste 9/10 this stuff tastes pretty dang good. i have tried both the fruit punch and the blue raspberry flavors and i personally preferred the blue raspberry. only reason i didnt give it a 10/10 is because the bubbling got pretty annoying after a while, also have to be careful not to blow up the drink in your face when you open your shaker cup.

cost 10/10 this is definitely one of the bit cheaper bcaa's (even at GNC) and you get a full 30 servings, none of the take 2 servings at a time bullcrap.

Honestly. There BCAA's. Your not going to drink these and see your muscles grow. Off seasoners I wouldnt waste your money, there is no need for any intra work out drinks when your inhaling foods. For cutting like myself its necessary for during work out to preserve muscle. Fruit punch tastes to sweet,but the ratio and amount of BCAA's in this are great.

i took this because i was tired of being sore and apparently pure BCAA supplements prevent that.

taste 10/10: taste great, like kool aid but a little more acidic. i had fruit punch.

value 10/10: i bought the sample so i wasn't really disappointed, im not aware of the actual price though.

effectiveness 8/10: i didn't really feel sore at all i feel like this supplement did its job.

overall 8/10: this is one of BSNs better supplements that isnt a bunch of BS. Although the ingredient profile doesn't provide much info.

I have gone through about 3 tubs of the Amino X. What unique is that it has baking soda which helps buffer lactic acid so it is great for endurance. Seems to be a pretty decent product, but there are few things that are strange compared to other BCAA I have had. I would say it is pretty comparable with Amino Vital products. The best result is it has helped me extend my work outs.

Taste-10 It taste great which is one of the things that is strange. Every other BCAA product I have had has an almost bitter taste and I have heard the worst it taste the better the quality BCAA.

Mixability-10 It mixes perfect. Again this is strange from other BCAA because well they never mix and always foam. The only other BCAA I have had that did not foam was the Amino Vital products.

Side Effects- Gas lots of Gas. Do not drink this if your going out with the ladies. What comes out does not smell bad, but there is a lot of it.

Results-7 Seems to really help extend my work outs and give me energy to. Helps with soreness and is so easy to drink so you can have it all day.

Let me know if you have any questions.

BSN did a pretty good job with their new Amino X. Ive used in both post workout and intra-workout (because of the sweetness, i liked it better post). The Watermelon flavor is pretty sweet, but easily watered down and the effervescent (fizziness) doesn't really last or add much to the product. If you like sweet, this is definitely for you; if you dont, try something else. Aside from those minor issues, it's a great product. Mixes very well in both a shaker cup or cup and spoon. 10g BCAAs per serving that definitely help with recovery. The price is about right (except GNC-unless it's on sale).

Tried the watermelon flavor. Tastes good at first but gets funny tasting towards the end.

Good profile, Would have liked to see something for during the training ie:GPLC or Beta alanine. Pay attention to the sodium, Too many scoops a day and you could notice some water retention. Also kinda taste slightly salty.

Hard to rate this product, because for me I used lots of bcaa products and dont feel any one works particularly better then another. However, for a bcaa supplement I have never used something that mixed so easy, 10g of bcaa in a scoop and it actually mixes with 6oz or water. I believe that is next to impossible with any other bcaa product. I prefer to mix it with more water to dilute the taste a little bit.

I have used other bcaa products like, xtend, and recoup, but this stuff mixes really nice. Xtend was a good product too, but i never liked the bcaa's mix up until i tried this product.

Taste is pretty good, I have only used the green apple flavor, which is not bad to drink at all. Usually i feel BSN is overpriced but this stuff had cost me $32 for 30 serving container, which for a bcaa product i dont think is that bad.
