No Bull BCAA Tablets

The price, per tablet, is very good based upon similar BCAA products available. 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. 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. 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. I am giving the product 5 stars for product presentation at this time. Edit - 12/30/2016 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. 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 "felt", even subtly, in any reasonable dose. If you are expecting to "feel" 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. 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 "during the day" 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. 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 "felt them" 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 "test booster" 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 "big thing this month" stuff that is forgotten by the next month. And, yes, I did reorder.

Really excited to find BCAA in tablet form again. I ordered these for my husband, he used to take Dymatize BCAA tablets until they stopped selling them a couple years ago. He tried capsules and they worked but they caused bloating every time. He tried powder mixes and got a headache from the sucralose, plus they can be pretty expensive. These No Bull tablets work great just like Dymatize did. He takes 3 tablets after a workout for a quicker muscle recovery, so his muscles aren’t as sore and he can work out more often. He’s been taking them for about a month and no bloating at all. An excellent product, we put these on subscribe & save for the savings and to not run out.

Raw Barrel makes the best recovery BCAA that actually works when taking the normal daily recommended amount. I tried BCAA pills from other brands and they did absolutely nothing when taking the daily. recommended amount; I found myself taking triple or 4 times the normal amount just so my muscles found some kind of relief. Also your hair becomes much more thicker if your hair is thinning compared to Creatinine which causes baldness and hair thinning. Raw Barrel actually repairs muscles so you can keep pushing your body beyond its limits. When combined with 3 pills daily to produce testosterone (Magnesium 500mg, Vitamin D 800IU, and Zinc 10mg) it’s like you are energized and your body can handle doing more weights or reps. I also take Turmeric Curcumin 1500mg for a sharper mind. To give you an example of what I do, the amount of sets of different exercises can range from 42 to 64 exercises in 2024 and the max amount of sets in one day was 74. I am classified as a, “Non Responder” so therefore I have to do up to 4 times more of the amount of exercises it would take a normal person to do just to see gains. I hope this all helps.

these pills (amino acids) mixed with whatever else are a real pay for the buck, is 120 pills will last ME PERSONALLY about 6 months, im in and out of they gym without too much consistency WARNING THO IVE LEARNED NOT TO TAKE THESE PILLS 2 - 3 TIMES A DAY UR HEART RATE WILL POP UP AND BEGIN TO RISE AND MOVE AND THERES NO WAY TO STOP IT EVEN IF U DRINK WATER or sit down and rest (while at the gym) take 1 prior to going to the gym 40 miNUTES EARLIER...... and if u must take another one then take It during the end of the workout, or 3 hours later after ur out of the gym... I AM 23 years old, and these are some of my findings

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!

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.

The efficacy of the pills (in this 1 bottle per order - not 3 bottles as portrayed in the advertising photo they use) seem to be proficient - easy to swallow as horse pills go, just drink with water or juice. It could take up to 2 - 3 weeks for noticeable changes to your body, just need to work out as you undertake this regimen. However, the posting of this product is misleading, there is no Digital Guide included - the last talk from customers receiving are in the 2016-2017 time frame. Either this company no longer sends them or Amazon does not. So, it appears, allegedly, there are no guides going out with this product - so if you need the guide, you may wish to look elsewhere.

The above mentioned injury happened nearly 19 months ago and still is an issue, but the pain has greatly alleviated and I can run again. Running is something I have loved my whole life and I am in no way a competitive runner. I just ran an average of 14-15 miles a week. But a broken, wobbly treadmill at the gym did me in one day and in my nearly 5 decades on this planet, I've never known a running injury. So it took me a while to connect the two incidents. Fast forward a couple of months, after resting as suggested by OSs, PTs and Trainers, no relief. There was no prescription, other than rest. The pounds started piling on, but more than that, the injury became more insidious and complex as it interfered with the functions of other interconnected joints and ligaments. I felt the pain even after a mild 1 mile walk or run. I slept only on one side - the non-injured one. Heck I even broke my code of vegetarianism (no code, but I am a life long,, born vegetarian) and took Collagen for a month. No change. No one and nothing seemed to have an answer until I researched and found out about BCAAs. I've only took a few since I ordered, and because I log everything in my fitness journal, I could draw a direct line to taking these and mitigating the pain - the very next day. Now I've started taking these regularly and am 90% there! Its been nearly two years and I am so grateful for this product I could donate to them. Thank you so much! And it's vegan to boot - take that Collagen Peptides!

Pills are kinda big and hard to swallow
