DRAGON PHARMADr. FEAAR® Advanced Full-Spectrum EAA Matrix, Supports Muscle Protein Synthesis and Recovery, Enhanced Training Capacity and Performance (30 Servings, Apple Juice)

....the table states zero artificial colors or fillers and ingredients are supplied out in detail for each part of this product. It also states zero added sugars but sucralose (also called Splenda) is added for sweetness.Being a vegan, I have been able to build muscle by supplementing my diet with branched chain amino acids (BCAA) - these are better for people like me who don't get enough protein in their diet. Some studies who it reduces muscle break down.Most people can only use up to 52 grams of protein at once...so if you sit down to a meal that has 100g... almost half of that just goes to storage (fat). How much protein you use depends a lot on your size. Anyway Essential amino acids are better for those who get enough protein. Having both BCAA and EAA in this product means you can use this anytime - whether your protein intake is sufficient or not.There are some other ingredients in here that are good for your skin and eyes, such as the Leucine metabolite. The hydration ingredients, such as powdered coconut water, magnesium citrate, etc... may increase water retention and that may be why they call that part of this product "hydration complex"; The sodium citrate works to reduce the amount of acid in your body and the calcium citrate is surprisingly not shown to be a calcium supplement as part of the % daily value.For those who are on ephedrine or other types of stimulants, the label recommends NOT to take this supplement.In terms of taste, this has a tart / sweet taste to it almost like raspberry popsicle. It's not overly sweet and not sticky.I've been using this for a week and so far it feels really good to use this 30 min before my training - I don't feel the need to stop my workout to drink water as drinking this with 8 oz of cold water helps me feel hydrated (I hydrate well post workout).

What I like about this......is that it's multi purpose.BCAA/EAA and Hydration.No sugar/carbs...I typically drink these (Amino/Hydration drinks) during and after my strength training workout, so appreciate that.So, how does it taste?Mostly like cherry; there is a tartness that is not cherry, but I couldn't really identify it as pomegranate in a blind taste test.For a comparison, I tasted some pomegranate juice powder that I did a review on a while back; with that as a sort of flavor baseline, as I said, I just don't get pomegranate; whatever; no big deal, I like cherry, but overall, the flavor is just okay, at least when made according to the instructions on the canister.Here's what I did:The package suggests one scoop of this mixed with 6 - 8 ounces of water.Actually, that's in conflict with what the product page says (as of the date of the order and review):"We recommend to mix 1 scoop of your favorite DR. FEAAR flavor with 10-12 fl. oz of cold water".I took a NOT shaker bottle with a 20 ounce capacity, poured 8 ounces of cold water in it and poured one scoop of this over the water; capped the bottle and shook it.After 30 seconds or less of shaking the bottle, this mixed well; if you let it sit (like overnight in the fridge) there will be product settling which resolves after a few more shakes.This made a light pink colored drink.At the liquid to product ratio that I used, I would describe the intensity of flavor to be a 7 - 8 on a scale of 10 (being the strongest).The sweetness, about a 7 on that same scale.What I don't like:The directions/intent of this drink seem to be all over the place; on the product page, second to the last bullet point it says:"Drink before, during, or after your workout."On the product canister it says:"...take one scoop with 6 - 8 ounces of water, 30 minutes prior to training..."Two different liquid/product mix ratios, two different use suggestions.This is a typical amino type powder, light pink in color that has that sort of fluffy texture (when you take the scoop out of the canister, powder sort of floats up and around....).I've given this an overall 4 star rating based on *perceived* quality of ingredients.I hope this review has been helpful and enables you to make an informed purchase decision.I rarely give an overall 5 star rating.

I ordered the "DRAGON PHARMA Dr. FEAAR® Advanced Full-Spectrum EAA Matrix"This is great for preworkouts but without all the added caffeine. This has a great combination of supplements to help you have a good workout and also help in your recovery as well. The raspberry lemonade taste is ok. Not as good as I was hoping it would be but if you’ve ever had BCAAs before you know it usually tastes like garbage so this one is actually pretty good in comparison. Definitely not as good as most of my normal pre workouts but I’d say the best BCAA that I’ve had. Only problem I had is that the container is actually filled to the top so after using it the first time I had a hard time getting the scoop back in so that I could put the lid on, certainly not a big enough problem to take off a star though.

I've been using DRAGON PHARMA Dr. FEAAR® for a few weeks now, and I'm really impressed with the results! As someone who's been lifting weights for years, I'm always looking for ways to support my muscle growth and recovery. Dr. FEAAR® has definitely helped me to take my training to the next level.The full-spectrum EAA matrix in Dr. FEAAR® is an incredibly powerful combination, providing a wealth of health benefits. Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the building blocks of muscle, and Dr. FEAAR® contains all nine EAAs, including the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are crucial for muscle protein synthesis and recovery. The grape juice flavor tastes great and is a nice change from the usual bland taste of most supplements.I've noticed a significant improvement in my training capacity and performance since starting to take Dr. FEAAR®. I'm able to lift heavier weights, train harder, and recover more quickly between workouts. This has allowed me to make significant progress towards my fitness goals.Overall, I highly recommend DRAGON PHARMA Dr. FEAAR® to anyone looking to support their muscle growth and recovery, enhance their training capacity and performance, or improve their overall health. This is a high-quality supplement that I will continue to use in my daily routine.

SO i just skimmed some medical journal articles on leucine and isoleucines and there is definitely medical evidence that both work to help the body in achieving not only muscle mass but lean muscle mass. I have to say both articles said "intensive workout required" so I'm a little worried my own workouts are not considered intensive but what I like about this product is that it not only has these muscle synergistic chemicals but it has hydration ones - think gatorade and muscle supplement mixed into one. It tastes good, not great but good -I got the rapsberry lemondade flavor and it's pleasant. It's sweetened with sucralose and citric acid so If you don't like sucralose, you might find it has an aftertaste but I don't and sucralose is the sweeterner I like best - no sugar, non caloric. Will it work for me? I'm not 100% convinced since I'm an average joe workout guy but it will keep me hydrated and it can't hurt and if you're a serious body-builder, I think this would have much more of a help. Solid product that tastes great with lots of great ingredients.
