Am I the only one who thinks this stuff is pretty damn bad? I just recently became an avid user of Controlled Labs products (I've been using White Blood + Green Magnitude for a while) and recently acquired Purple Wraath. I decided to give it a try ten minutes ago and I couldn't finish half the mixture. Are all EAA/BCAA supplements like this? Wow, I wish CL could do their magic like they did with Green Magnitude and make this stuff taste like actual grapes. I mixed it with water and noticed all sorts of bubbles, foam and crap floating at the top of my glass. Coupled with this distinct chemical-like smell, I couldn't finish it. Now, before everyone jumps the gun and tells me to man up and chug it down, realize that I've taken all sorts of disgusting supplements before. This just sets a new level of awfulness.
Anyone have tips? Can I mix this supplement with orange juice perhaps? Does setting this mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes actually work?
p.s. Green Magnitude and White Blood totally kick ass, so CL shouldn't take this as an insult!

1.) Letting it sit in the fridge or freezer for some time will certainly help to dissolve it better.
2.) I enjoyed mixing my PW into yogurt. I quite enjoyed the taste of it when mixed with FF yogurt.
3.) Throw a scoop into your mouth and immediately chase it with water.
Also, it is worth checking with Controlled Labs. They recently "upgraded" the flavor - you may have a batch of the old version. If you provide Pu with the lot number, I'm sure he can help you out there.Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

this works, but not as well as some of the other flavors of gatorade, IMO. Experiment and see what your tastes are - only way you can tell for sure
for carb-free (non gatorade) I use the crystal light mix. Plenty of variations to try with that as well, so you'll just have to buy some and give it a go.If its not good for pregnant women then why would it be good for me. - MegaPump

Mix it with Body Octane.
Purple Wraath will never, ever taste good. It does taste tolerable, however, at 1 + 3/4 scoops to 20 oz of water and then let it sit a good 10, 15, 20 or so before drinking it...shake and drink, shake and drink, preferably DURING the workout.Ongoing Journal: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=106420991

seriously, i must be the only person who ENJOYS the taste of purple wraath. i LIKE to use more water so its not as sweet, so for one scoop ill add almost 15 oz of water and still retains its grape flavor - i look forward to drinking this everyday.
to be honest, if i had to choose i liked the old version better, it wasnt as sweet. but either way , i love this stuff.
