Dumb Question But I Gotta Ask it

[cnelson09]

so today i bought some Blue Beast Labs - BCAA Granules

first time buying BCAA

what is it supposed to look like? lol

the one i got is like very little white balls/granules (hints the name)

sorry for the dumb question but blue beast labs isnt a big company so for all i know it could be a bottle of dextrose they con'd me into.

The only BCAA product I ever used that was granule like was the one by optimum which was touted as instant mixing. Usually has a distinctive smell and visual texture to it as well. Obviously if you`ve never seen it though you will not know what I`m talking about, lol.

anybody else got any input?

If they sold you dextrose, it will taste sweet, no doubt about it. BCAA is not known for tasting good.

It's a house brand from a retailer in Ontario. Ask them if they have any third party testing on the product they can provide to you.

sounds alright

Dextrose will be very sweet and is a very fine powder. BCAA's will be more granular and taste like absolute shit. Try some, if it tastes like poison it's probably the right stuff.

I seriously doubt they will.

send me a fax number and I'll fax you a certificate of analysis. We don't MAKE the Blue Beast Labs products, they are made by a cGMP facility and they are EXACTLY what is on the label.

cut your losses and sell what you bought

use the $ you make to buy a high quality whey isolate and don't waste anymore $ on BCAAs

[Vitamin S]

garbage in my mind, why not spend more money on real food for protein sources or good quality whey protein.

Does anyone know how companies make BCAA's "instant mixing" (i.e. do they add something to it?)

Just wondering, because by nature, Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine are all hydrophobic amino acids, actually among the MOST hydrophobic amino acids, meaning they will clump together to minimize surface area contact with water.
