Strawberry Dragon Fruit smell and taste change, is it safe?Updated 2/8. So I got a replacement directly from BSN, awesome. I used it, it was awesome. Ordered again from Amazon and I get a container that looks like it was packed in a garage by toddlers playing in sandbox. See pics. I think I am done ordering this product thru Amazon due to having issues with both times I ordered. Updated 1/4/19. Called BSN customer support. They took the batch number and other information and is going to open a review with quality insurance into that batch. They are sending me a new one and suggested I return the one I ordered. Great customer support BSN! THANK YOU!I have purchased this product in the past from Dick's sporting goods and loved it. Amazon had it almost half the price (interesting in itself) however it does not smell or taste the same. I am now concerned if I should even be using the product. The one from Dick's had a nice fruity aroma, my amazon order has a dry smell like the fruit flavor didn't meet quality standards. The drink does not finish up smooth, it finishes up with an after tastes that is not fruity. Hard to put my finger on exactly what the taste and smell is.1Not bad at allI bought this product to help me with my workouts. Like with most bcaa's i sip on it during my workout, if you want to you could also drink it before and after as well but i prefer during .Overall I'm very satisfied with the results. Here are the pros and cons.Pros -+ More energy+ Not sore as much after my workouts+ Stimulant freeCons -- It tastes really sweet4Bad BatchI've ordered this twice now. Both Grape flavor. The first one I received was AMAZING, the taste was out of this world. Something I'd never experienced with supplements before. Close to a week after receiving that one, I put in another order because I didn't want to risk running out. Once I finished the first container, I moved on to the 2nd. I get to the gym and give my bottle a big squeeze expecting the same great taste but instead, I was greeted with the taste of old candle wax. I'll order it again and pray that the next one tastes like the first, and if it does I'll change this to 5 stars.3Basic Amino'sI bought this thinking because BSN was a reputable company and I personally had some of their products I liked that this would be a good try. I was disappointed to find the taste was very stale, the powder was very clumpy, and it seemed to just get every where wen you would scoop it out of the container and or place in drink. I ended up needing to use water flavoring to even drink it. I wouldn't recommend, there are other great brands like BPI.2Smooth and tasteyDoes this product make a massive impact performance wise? It's hard to tell, so I wouldn't say its a miracle product. I still get fatigued during workouts and I still feel soreness after them, however it may be better than without this product at all. Also, I'll admit I may not get full results because the direction says to drink two scoops a day, but to me that seems a little much so I only consume one. What can I say I'm stubborn. However, this powder itself is excellent quality. It never clumps, isn't gritty, and taste delicious! It mixes super easy in plain cold water. I got the strawberry dragonfruit flavor and I look forward to drinking it. I wish protein powders could taste this amazing!!4Good product - would be good to know how much is actually in it...I like BSN, and this is a great product I plan to continue using. The main reason for three stars is simply not specifying the exact amounts of ingredients contained. What is the BCAA ratio (which is of lesser importance but not even listed)? When adding sodium bicarbonate (aka baking soda which works GREAT), there should be a clear dosage indicated. Source: best5supplements.com "Baking soda possible risks: Baking soda is a salt, so it can cause problems for people who are on a low-sodium diet. If you consume a lot of calcium and/or dairy, be aware that baking soda may increase risks for kidney stones"Well it might be nice to know how much baking soda one is actually ingesting then... There are way too many top supplement companies not disclosing what dosages are in their product blends, and they need to actually list their amounts for safety reasons. What do they just know everything about the human body now? Apparently so, how is a doctor supposed to evaluate safety for their patients when they don't even know what's in a product? It's laughable this product actually says consult with your doctor, even though they won't tell you exactly what they put in it... Oh there's some baking soda, eh? Interesting, might be nice to know the actual amount... I am just amazed that it's legal for these companies to be selling random blends with any amount of ingredients and not even list the actual dosages, absolutely pathetic, shame on these companies and the lack of regulations due to not being evaluated by the FDA.3Look elsewhere, there's other products that worth more than this.First of all, this product does work, but at a price, nausea. I took this about 3 times over the course of a week and the last time I took it, it made feel very sick. I will be contacting the company for a refund.2Formula and Packaging Has Changed & Not For the BetterI have been using this brand for the better part of 5 years, so you could call me a brand loyalist. However, recently BSN changed the formula and product packaging at the same time. Let's break these two points down:*Formula: The formula before was fine, although formulated with artificial sweeteners and dyes. I was OK with it, but not super thrilled. The product has always worked for me and my muscle recovery was great. Now, the formula has changed and the product has a bitter dirt-like taste during and after consumption. This makes it hard to consume during my workouts, and often I am finding that I don't finish most of my blender bottle after my workout which is just money down the drain.*Packaging: BSN's packaging engineers decided it was a good idea to poke a series of holes in the top of the induction seal, likely to help the bottle deal with pressure changes during shipping (through mountain ranges, flying at 35k feet, etc.). This critical seal is designed not only to keep the product fresh by disallowing air and other contaminates to be introduced into the bottle, but also designed to protect the product from adulteration after the manufacturing process. This was introduced into consumable goods packaging after Tylenol batches were purposefully contaminated in 1982, resulting in multiple deaths.These two changes are a perfect storm of bad product quality from a consumer perspective. Think about it start to finish: I receive a bottle of freshly produced BSN intra-workout. I open the bottle, and find holes in the seal - fine. Then I take a drink and notice an odd flavor. My mind instantly connects the two and I think "has this product been altered?". OK - I work in consumer products, I understand everything that has happened here. However the typical consumer will not understand and your brand will suffer as a result of these changes. Please reconsider your decisions and in the future I recommend in home use testing before you commercialize these very important changes.2All 4 of the flavors I've tried are fantastic tasting. They are a bit strong at full ...I wanted to try most of the flavors prior to writing a review. I've tried blue raz, green Apple, watermelon and pina colada. All 4 of the flavors I've tried are fantastic tasting. They are a bit strong at full scoop. So I half the amount of powder per bottle. Fantastic flavor.5I didn't enjoy the feeling of being runned down days after a ...From an average person. I was tired of being at my weight and wanted to drop some pounds. Anytime I tried however I could never keep to it partly because I would feel so tired or sore after. I didn't enjoy the feeling of being runned down days after a workout. Also had a bad habit of feeling too lazy to get back to it after a day of recovery. So I'd take a day off, and then another. Eventually I'd stop doing exercising all at once.Enter BCAAs. Specifically this product.When I began I was near 288lbs at 6'1. After just 6 weeks I was down to 265 and 8 weeks in down to 258.My diet, consisted of keeping everything the same but just reducing my sodium intake from whoknowswhat mg, to just 1500-170mg daily. No more laziness after a workout, no more stiffness or feeling groggy the next day.Performance:I would feel less sore for sure. Even after 6 days of working out doing body weight exercises 4 days and 2 days of cardio, I still felt like i could go another day without issue. I would rest of course one day just to relax.Taste:Fruit punch is the flavor I got. For my taste preference I went with one scoop in 12-16 oz of water. The recommended level was just too sour for me. Fruit punch was so good, I reduced drinking sugary drinks, even when it wasn't part of my diet plan. It was that tasty.If you're one of the people like me, who couldn't seem to just stick to it, give it a try. If you're looking to step up your intervals of training, give it a go. It certainly helped me out and I'm sure it will for you too.5
