Exactly what I neededBuen productoThis stuff.... smells like butt. Tastes like butt. I've tasted butt that tastes better than this. But(t) if it works.... I won't complain too much more!I stopped eating meat after I moved to the midwest... noticed I started feeling ill and sluggish from it. Tried ditching it and feel loads better. HOWEVER it's difficult to get complete proteins from plants. For muscle building... leucine is the amino acid most responsible for growth and recovery. So I'm trying this out... adding it to some plant based proteins. Will see how it goes! Starting with 1g additions at a time until I get a little more acclimated to the flavor... and smell. Yeesh! Be warned! But(t) be complete!!Before anyone buys this, I hope you get the chance to read this. As with everything in life, things take time. If you are buying this, then I'm sure you've already done your research on the item and don't need to be told what it is used for. I've been using Leucine for a couple of months now, and I've seen great results for my physique. Remember, this is still with consistency and commitment. There is no secret juice to get results quick, not even on the real juice ;). Anyways, the taste has got to be the worst thing I have ever tried in my entire life. I tried mixing it with everything to no avail. I put it in my protein shake thinking it was going to be easy. Silly me as it destroyed my entire shake. Read other comments and reviews, they would agree with me. I have a tip, however. Drink it with orange juice. The acidity of the orange juice will kill the absolute BITTERNESS of this powder. The way I do it is I grab a whole scoop(which is the serving size) and do the mouthwash technique with it. It will go down easier in my opinion. Just grab a scoop, pour all of the powder in the mouth with orange juice in the mouth already, and swoosh it in your mouth like crazy. Good luck!Works good. I feel I gained with it but it has a funky odor I've never experienced with other aminos product. I've used leucine before. I'll stick with bulk supplements brand.I am currently taking a couple of this company’s other products and quality seems good but this product while quality/price wise is great the taste is pretty horrid.I was taking it with a protein shake but it overpowers the protein shake’s flavor. I am currently taking it with a half of cup of orange juice and the orange juice helps a lot. Only problem is it doesn’t mix that great so if you have a mini blender like the one you would use to froth your coffee in a coffee cup that might help with mixing.BienSelling this stuff in free-form powder is just plain irresponsible- that's how bad it tastes.I got this tub of 500 grams with the idea of making Transhumanist Cocoa that had potassium, raw cocoa, flax oil, and leucine, but it tasted so terrible I threw my first couple cups out. It was the leucine.Trying to take it in quick shots has been miserable as well...... I'm trying to perform Simon Waslander's (the cocoa guy) Augmented Fasting, and I KNOW I need the leucine, but this morning I almost puked a little bit after my shot of it. I'd rather boof this stuff than drink it.
