The price, per tablet, is very good based upon similar BCAA products available.<br /><br />When you order from Amazon, an email is sent which has a downloadable .pdf file of some basic training and nutrition information. None of the information is particularly revolutionary or groundbreaking, but neither is it bad information. In fact, although it is very basic information, it is GOOD basic information.<br /><br />Shown in the picture attached, tablet size is about on par with a fish oil tablet or an almond. It is not a small tablet, but it is also not huge. I have, over the years taken a LOT of tablets and capsules. These are not exceptionally different in size or shape than a hundred others. Maybe the closest thing I can think of is about the size of a Universal Nutrition Liver Tab.<br /><br />The bottle size is smaller than I expected. That is neither here nor there, as I am basing the review on other factors than the size of the bottle. But the size of the bottle is smaller than what is normally sized for a similar product.<br /><br />I am giving the product 5 stars for product presentation at this time.<br /><br />Edit - 12/30/2016<br /><br />Okay, I am finalizing this review a bit early, but I don't see any reason to wait a full 30 days to do so. Pretty much everything I need to know about the BCAA tabs, I know already.<br /><br />First of all, some perspective on this product, and any other BCAA product out there, no matter what the quality. BCAA's are not performance enhancing drugs. They are not steroids or steroid like. They are not stimulants, or energy producing substances in any way that would be &#34;felt&#34;, even subtly, in any reasonable dose. If you are expecting to &#34;feel&#34; these, you have false expectations. These are protein pills, at the heart of it. They are branched chain amino acids. They can be utilized for energy in the body, and they go towards anabolism, as well. Muscle building. These are for support of anabolism, and that already naturally occurring in the body as a result of exercise. They could also be utilized in a diet to decrease catabolism in someone suffering from a wasting disease, or severe immune stress. But, again, support. So, anyone promoting this product or a similar product as some sort of immediate way to gain muscle mass or strength is lying to you. Raw Barrel, so far as the ad copy and published material they have put out, does not promote this product in such a way.<br /><br />These tablets are of an appropriate dosage to be utilized easily and readily in the support of anabolic activity in the body. BCAA's are well known for this, and especially Leucine. In fact, increased Leucine consumption in the presence of less bioavailable aminos, or poorer quality proteins, tends to increase their utilization by the body. So, taking these tabs during the day with low protein meals, or even with poor or cheat meals, is a good way to utilize them. I would not take tablets pre-workout, due to slower digestion rates probably causing them to miss the mark for pre-workout use. A powder form would be best for this use. But for &#34;during the day&#34; use, these are right on the mark. I would not recommend these to be taken along with any good quality proteins, especially whey protein powders or the like. They already have plenty of BCAA content, and this would be a poor time to take additional BCAA sources in, strictly for the BCAA content. Save these for more traditional meals or snack times.<br /><br />As far as the actual performance of these tablets, beyond the stated benefits above and in Raw Barrels descriptions and literature, I give these tablets a high recommendation. In using them, I got no gas or intestinal problems. No bad tastes, or burps. Nothing indicating any sort of problems with their absorption and utilization. I won't lie to you and say I &#34;felt them&#34; in some way, but I can say that I do believe they are playing the expected supporting nutritional role they are designed to do. For the money, purpose, and results of these tabs, you are far better off purchasing these than some BS &#34;test booster&#34; being sold for twice the price, or more, and with no results to speak of coming from it. This is old school nutrition here, and it one that has stood the test of time for decades, opposed to some of the &#34;big thing this month&#34; stuff that is forgotten by the next month.<br /><br />And, yes, I did reorder.

I just saw a nutritionist and in order to get the lean results I want I have to have 15 amino acids a day. Plus I'm vegan. These have been really great, they were a little hard to get used to it first because they're quite large, but it's easy to get used to. I'm seeing good results. I also think it's nice that they included a book for you. Nice touch. :-)

I am a new supplement user, never bought any in the past and I am a penny pincher. I did a lot of reading on supplements and compared ingredients for about 2 weeks before I made a purchase of any supplements, I went with Raw Barrels because it was just simple ingredients and is double the dose of the popular supplements. So I am on my 3rd maybe 4th purchase now let me tell you why I continue to purchase. I started July 4th 2017 at 244lbs and hadn't done any exercise sense leaving the Army in 05 and had 42% body fat. Decide for the change researched and executed. 5 months later I'm 195 and 20% body fat. I wasn't sure if these bcaa and glutimen were really doing any thing the first month or two , how much was it helping, by the end of the second bottle I took almost two week break. I thought why spend the money my gains were just from my efforts alone , let me tell you by the third or forth day of not taking them started to notice greater fatigue in work outs, by the 6-8 day I noticed my intensity was down and I'm super sore where I did not want to work out at all.by the tenth day I placed an order and haven't noticed any of those symptoms, I feel energetic and ready to go the next day because of the proper recovery I believe helps kick start to peak development. I take 2 first thing in the morning and two after workout with my protein shake. I noticed a difference in my workouts with out it and by month 4 those gains really stuck out to me and others getting compliments on my transformation daily. I say all this to let you know do the research and give this stuff a try. I am reaching new PRs every 2 weeks or so and I think you will see the results also.

After taking these for a month, I can definitely feel a difference. My muscles seem to bounce back quicker after having worked out vs being super sore for the following two days. The reason I initially started taking these was because my husband takes a different brand ( I personally found these to be better suited for me) of amino acids and NEVER works out, but he's very athletic and has great muscle mass, but hasn't &quot;worked out&quot; in months. Yet, he still manages to stay thin, and sometimes looks like he's lost weight (jerk). Meanwhile, I've been busting my butt to get in/stay in shape and felt like I was killing myself with working out and cutting calories. I've decided to bite and purchase 4 bottles of these, because 3 pills a day does catch up real quick and all of the sudden you're needing more. I can't say taking these has helped me lose weight, but they do help the process of my muscle recovery making it easier for me to keep going.

The best BCAA out there!!! I am in my 40s and have always played soccer. Here about three years ago I broke my knee and of course it became a challenge getting back to playing soccer. I went through physical therapy and although after 4 months of rehab I had lost a lot of stamina and strength which I figure I would never get back (combination of age and lost of physical strength). Here about a year and a half ago I started trying everything to getting back to somewhat to my old self but diets and working out along was not doing working! I had read about BCAA and gave it a try, first two brands that I tried didn't really do much and had almost give up on of these type of supplements. I started reading some of the comments for NO BULL BCAA tablets so I decided to give these tablets a try, I immediately notice something. These tablets actually seem to one give me more energy during long soccer practices but not only that I was finishing games with extra strength and energy. Within 2-3 months I was at or better shape than before my knee injury. My normal dose consists of two tablets about 30-45 minutes before any workout. This is lower than the recommended dose but I notice for me this works just right, I am 5'6&#34; weight 170. I love soccer and I am just glad I can still play at a competitive level and feel that I can continue to play for a couple of more years. Hope this helps someone out there when making a decision on which BCAA to take!

I started taking these in april and quickly noticed a difference. 1/1/18 i started really limiting my sugar intake. I started with no sodas and began walking. Didn't see any changed until i started these in april. My weight was 340 in january. Just with diet and light exercise i am down to 305 now. I lost inches everywhere and i gained back some muscle mass. These pills help me to go longer without eating and not get cravings. I am pushing to get closer to my school weight when i played football. I have always been heavy but im 6'5 which is expected. My goal is about 280 and i gave myself a year to get there. In 6 months im half way there and i believe this product had a lot to do with it. I will continue to take these pills seeing their amazing results. They really are NO BULL that they work!
