…Merchandise Evaluation:Metabolic Nutrition Tri-Pep BCAA…

There are so many supplements out on the market today.  What are certain supplements used for? What is a good brand of supplements to use? All great questions for those who are new to living a healthy lifestyle.  The best answer that I can tell you is to DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!  So many health and fitness bloggers have their own products that they like to use.  And certain products will work differently for me than it will for you.  Yes it may take time (and money) but the key is to do your own investigating and try products that you think will be beneficial to your fitness success.

Today i will share my experience with Metabolic Nutrition’s BCAA’s.  Thanks to BestPriceNutrition.com they sent me these great samples to try to share with you guys today.

What are BCAA’s?

BCAA’s = Brand Chain Amino Acids.  During strenuous workouts your body can get depleted of these BCAA’s so you can ingest them via a supplement for to help replenish the stores that are being lost in your body.  BCAA’s are a very vital component to your muscles.  Do you HAVE to take BCAA’s…NO but you really do not have to take any type of supplements.  Some people like to take them to help improve their overall workout experience and to help maximize the results that come from strenuous workouts.  For more details and an in-depth description about BCAA’s check out THIS article.

Overall Comments:

This was a GREAT product.  I have taken several different brands of BCAA’s and this is by far one of my favorite.  It mixes very well with water and the flavor is full and delicious! The flavors i got to try was watermelon and lemon and they both were amazing! My favorite by far was watermelon.

Quality & Taste

The quality of this product seems to be very well.  Metabolic Nutrition offers a great line of products.  There has not been a product from that company that i have not enjoyed yet.  It taste great, mixes very well, and seemed to be very satisfying.  You can find this product on BestPriceNutrition.com for about $40.00.  This price is about average with other good quality BCAA brands.  You can sometimes find them for cheaper but you can expect to pay around $30-$40 for a good quality product.  Yes it is slightly expensive, but you are definitely paying for the quality when purchasing these types of products.

Overall this is a great product and I would recommend it to anyone who asks about it. It is very hard to trust a brand and quality until you try it!  My friends and I will usually find a new product and split the product (to also help split the cost).  50% of the time one of us will not like it and the other person will.  You can sell your portion of the product to the friend that enjoys it and you are really not out a whole lot of money or trouble. It is wise to find your own ways to find great products for you to add to your diet. But if you are looking for a great product I highly recommend this one.

…Merchandise Evaluation: Best Price Nutrition…

 

I had the pleasure of getting to try some products from a great online supplement store called BestPriceNutrition.com

Here are just a few of the items that i got to try from BestPriceNutrition.com

Here are the items I tried:

Overall Comments:

I was very surprised by the variety of items they allowed me to try out! But I was also excited to see that it was the ‘Raw” brand items.  I have seen them several times but I have never been able to try them.

I do wish that I was able to try another flavor besides vanilla but that is OK.  The vanilla flavor was not bad but it is not the best tasting I have had.  It was your typical vanilla flavor and it was actually kind of gritty.  I did mix the Raw Meal and the Raw Protein in cold water (you have the option to mix it with milk or almond milk).  It was not a chalky taste (like some other proteins and meal replacements I have tried).  I am use to just “chugging” my protein shakes and that is the best method to use if you want to use these products.  The taste is not the best, but it is also not the worst.  It is for sure not a shake you will want to sip and savor the flavor with.

The Vitamin Code product were actually nice.  I did take my usual vitamins with it.  But i enjoyed that the product is made of all natural products.  I did not like that you had to take 4 of these capsules.  So if you do plan on purchasing these you may go through the bottle pretty fast since you have to take so many.  My stomach is sensitive to some supplements and this product did not give me any problems at all.  It did not leave a weird taste in my mouth or make me feel weird at all.

Lastly, i also got to try the Perfect Food Raw Green Super Food.  I naturally do not have a problem with my energy levels during the day.  And with the product I did not notice a big difference.  The product claims to give you more energy but I did not see a big boost (I usually get 7-9 hours a sleep a night and my diet is pretty clean.  I rarely have “tired” days).  I mixed this packet with water and I tried it with juice.  I recommend taking it with something that has a flavor or good taste. It’s not an awful taste (but it does not taste good either).  Some people enjoy the “super green” flavor…But it is not for me.  But I have no complaints about the product.

Price:

The products are relatively cheap (compared to other similar products that are on the market).  The prices range from $24-$33.  You do have a CHEAP same day shipping option (at $4.99) and they do ship internationally.  Looking online, BestPriceNutrition.com is one of the cheapest places to get these products.  I would suggest finding a small amount and trying out the flavor before you go buy a larger container of these times.  The taste was not the best for any of them but some people may enjoy the “different” taste.

Quality:

These products seem to be of good quality.   They are made of certified organic products.  Per a representative from the company this is what they had to say:

Most of the ingredients that are used in the Garden Of Life supplements are certified organic. While some of the ingredients may not be certified organic they are grown under organic conditions with no herbicides, pesticides or other chemicals.

What were my favorite products from BestPriceNutrition.com?

2013-07-10 11.35.22

These two items were my favorite and I would consider purchasing them for personal use.  There was nothing wrong with the other two items I tried.  The flavor was not my personal favorite and that is a huge factor in me disliking the product. But I would suggest that any try the products for yourself to see how you like them. I can only share my honest opinion about my experiences with the items.
