Terrible taste. Just awful. No noticeable improvement to my workout or focus. I recommend going a different route

I am not favorably impressed with this new formulation. I have been using Cytosport Monster Amino for post-workout recovery for more than six years, because it helps the muscles and connective tissue to relax and rebuild and it takes my energy from cool down to, again, relaxed and comfortable. The amino formulation would also regulate the metabolic clock and motivate food nourishment within a reasonable amount of time after training.<br /><br />I don't get the same results with the new formulation. Even after mild basketball training or lifting, things remain sore and stiffened, and I don't get the sense of well-being that came with the prior formulation. It also negatively affects the blood sugar levels, so that the body is tricked into thinking that it can defer eating indefinitely.<br /><br />Cytosport may have added amino content, but they took out other components that were more valuable. This change reminds me of the way they cheapened Fast Twitch, two years ago, by removing the kre-alkalyn.<br /><br />I would like to see the company restore a choice in Monster Aminos, so that those who don't live by the numbers still have a valuable option.

Didn't really work, felt no change!

I use aminos for almost every workout so I go through a lot of them and have tried many different brands and many different flavors. I don't really notice a lot of difference when using aminos and not using them but I know they are good for my muscles. Taste is important and this one tastes great! It's a light flavor and it's not overly sweet. My favorite of this brand.

Love this stuff for pre, during, and post workouts!

Great stuff to keep you going through hour workouts at full speed. Really helps with the muscle fatigue factor. Highly recommend!!
