EAA

At first, flavor was abit much, now I'm used to it. No problem. A good value for something with clean ingredients.

VitaMonk Clean EAA's ingredients are high quality. Premium and clean. The BCAA portion is in the proper 2-1-1 ratio and the remaining EAAs are also of a good dose. (We wish they'd lose the beta carotene and sunflower lecithin.) Mixing for essential amino acids is not always easy. Here a scoop in 8 ounces of cold water shakes up very well. Tip: Add to water, shake and stick in the fridge. Shake again when ready and all is perfect. Right now there's only the lemonade taste. It is excellent. Right up there as the top EAA supplement we look forward to new berry flavors, etc. being added. Natural flavoring with no sugar. What sets VitaMonk apart is the value. The value makes it the best EAA supplement currently available. They are not price gouging. The fair price makes it affordable for more than once daily dosing for many.

The EAAs taste good, like a tart lemonade. I like the flavor because it is sweetened with stevia, and also the lemonade flavor is good dilute or more concentrated (this makes it easy to get "more" of the drink by using less product). I also like how these are vegan (some BCAA/EAA sources are not.. enticing..). These are a little pricey but if you can spend the extra money, they are definitely worth it. (Full disclosure - I got these with a rebate. However, this rating/review expresses my true opinions, and I was not rewarded in exchange for giving a certain rating.)

Firstly, mine didn't come with a scooper. Secondly, the flavor is strange, regardless how little or how much I use and the water ratio (tried different amounts 3 times).. reminds me of the "natural calm" magnesium drink flavor. It takes a bit for it to dissolve too, even after shaking. I do like that the ingredients are cleaner though, and because of that I give extra points. Will not buy again though... *update* Seller has been very kind and reached out to refund me. I can tell this company genuinely cares so I needed to acknowledge that.

Terrible flavor and bad aftertaste . Will not purchase

Very very very pleased to know this doesn’t have yellow (lemon) food coloring. The last thing I want is yellow teeth from sipping on this awesome product. I’m so thankful for this company not putting dye / coloring in this product. I’ll be sure to keep buying. (It tastes great too! It’s refreshing and makes boring water a LOT more fun to drink.)

These amino acids have a nice lemony taste, without the sickly oversweetness that some other brands use. I like how they're conscious of the type of sweetener added since I am as well and don't tolerate any weird ones like sucralose or aspartame etc. I typically prefer products like this with no sweeteners at all and it would be great if they had a product with that option. Stevia and monkfruit are two that I'll tolerate in a supplement but while these are natural they still have some physiological effects and can affect your gut microbiome. If you're mixing with juice or fruits like many do, then that's usually enough sweetening to give your mix a pleasant taste. One thing that I've never seen in a product but would like to see would be the amount of sweetener per serving. If one had a ton of stevia and one just had a tiny bit, I'd be more inclined to purchase the one with less. Also on the topic of labeling, this product should indicate the amount of each amino acid per serving like you see on most protein and amino acid supplements.

Arrived as promised with no issues. I use it in my protein shakes in the morning. Mixes well.
