    Lightbulb ERGOGENIX ErgoChain BCAA Supplement 4 Flavor Review




    I was one of the lucky forum members to be selected to receive 4 ten serving containers of Ergogenix new bcaa
    supplement called ErgoChain and I was sent one of each of the 4 flavors which are Mojito, Watermelon, Orange Peach ,
    and Pineapple Mango. First off I would like to thank ErgoGenix for their extremely generous promo where MANY forum
    members were selected to receive one of each of the 4 flavors of ErgoChain and a ErgoGenix Shaker cup to try out and
    post up a review after test driving each flavor.

    After trying out each flavor a number of times where I varied the amounts of water which I added and used it as a intra
    workout beverage and also combined it with my post workout protein I am ready to review each flavor. I have already
    reviewed it in the store so I thought I'd post a short review here in the forum.


    Ingredient Profile- 8/10


    Nothing fancy just your basic bcaa's dosed at 5 grams at a 2:1:1 ratio and the addition of some electrolytes which I think
    is a twist from some of the other bcaa's on the market.


    Mix Ability 9/10


    These bcaa's mixed up EXTREMELY well in any amount of water and there was nothing really floating or sticking to the
    shaker cup but the only issue was a big head of foam on the top which actually took a while to settle. If you mixed the
    bcaa's and let it sit for a while the foam would eventually taper down but honestly from the last few bcaa supplements that
    I've used I noticed practically NO FOAMING at all so I was a little surprised at this one since other companies have developed
    ways to keep the foaming to a minimum.


    Effectiveness - ?


    Honestly this is the time of the year when I take in more calories, carbohydrates, and creatine so for me to really tell the
    effects on my recovery is hard to tell at this time but I always use bcaa's as an intra-workout beverage and post workout
    even though some people don't believe in the effects of bcaa's I personally have had nothing but excellent results utilizing
    them the way I do so I will continue in this manner and for this formula in ErgoChain your really getting the 2:1:1 dosage
    which is the basic blend that if I'm not mistaken is the dosage that was used in experimental tests on bcaa supplements.
    The added electrolytes even though I'm in NY and right now it's winter so there's no heat or humidity I think would work
    well for anyone in a hot tropical climate or who trains out doors in the heat which I think the added electrolytes would
    really have an impact.



    Taste - Mojito- 6/10


    I will be going through each flavor and giving my opinion on each one separately and I just want to mention EVERYONE tastes
    things differently so if your interested in any of these flavors all I can say is just try out a 10 serving container and see how you
    feel about the flavor.

    Now when I heard Mojito I was definitely interested but I knew this was NOT going to be an easy flavor to get right because
    to get that right combo of mint and lime isn't the easiest and I know cause bartending is one of my two jobs and I've made a
    few Mojitos in my 13 years of bartending but let me WARN you DO NOT order this drink in a night club or lounge why?
    Bartenders hate making this drink because it takes too long so only order them in restaurants that specialize in them.
    I know this had nothing to do with the review Lol I just thought I'd let everyone know that bartenders HATE making this drink.

    Now to the flavor and I tried different amounts of water and I never really got that right taste of mint and lime and even
    when I tried like 1/2 the amount of water that I usually add to my bcaa's I only really tasted a slight minty flavor and never
    really got the lime. Like I said earlier I think this is a hard flavor to get completely right in a bcaa and don't let the 6 rating
    make anyone think it tasted bad which is NOT the case it just wasn't what I thought it would be and honestly I think a
    Lemon/Lime or a Cherry/Lime would of been easier to pull off. I just thought this flavor was kind of bland to me but then
    again everyone tastes everything differently.

    Taste - Watermelon- 7/10



    This is the next flavor up to bat and it's watermelon and I really enjoy watermelon in pre-workout's and bcca's and this one
    had a nice watermelon flavor when you first sipped on it but then it had kind of a medicine taste at the end. Now when it
    comes to pre-workout supplements I could care less about a medicine after taste but in my bcaa's that I will be sipping on
    throughout my workout I'd rather not have it but then again some people that I read reviews that they did on this flavor
    LOVED this one so again everyone taste things differently.

    Taste- Orange Peach- 8/10




    Now to the 3rd flavor which was Orange Peach and this one was one that I really liked but as a intra-workout I didn't
    taste any peach but what it did taste like was a orange Jolly Rancher Stick candy and I liked it!!! because I remember
    eating those as a kid. The strange thing about this flavor was that when I combined 1 scoop with my post workout protein
    which was vanilla at the time I got a hint of peach in this combo with the vanilla protein so this flavor worked for me and
    will be one I purchase in the future to use intra and post workout combined with protein.

    Taste- Pineapple Mango- 9/10



    Now to the last flavor which I think is the BEST and ErgoGenix has proved that this is one of their best flavors because
    it came out great in ErgoBlast and now in ErgoChain. This flavor has just the right amount of sweetness and tartness
    and really compliments the two flavors which are pineapple and mango and two fruits which I enjoy very much.
    This flavor is DEFINITELY very enjoyable to sip on during your workout and it worked well combined with both van and
    choc protein post workout and I plan on trying it with banana whey next.

    I've had one other mango bcca in the past I thought that was also very good but it was a mango nectar flavor which
    had a heavier taste to it and very enjoyable so now I have two mango bcaa supplements that I enjoy and what's great
    is that they both are somewhat different in taste so I don't mind having both on hand.




    Overall- 8/10


    I gotta say you really can't go wrong with these bcaa's and what's great is that they are sold in 10 serving containers
    so I would recommend snatching up 1 of each flavor and test them out for yourself to see which flavor hit's the spot
    on taste and remember what I may not be crazy about in taste someone else might love it.



    Once again big thanks to ErgoGenix and the forum reps for giving me the opportunity to try out each of these flavors
    and be able to express my thoughts on them. I definitely look forward to trying out other supplements in the future
    from ErgoGenix. I actually have a few jars of ErgoTest in my supplement stash that I picked up a while ago before it
    was discontinued so I'll post up a short review on that one when I do run it and I do have experience with Bulbine
    and it works pretty good for me.

    Great reviews on ErgoChain! I felt the same way about the Pineapple Mango that I had a sample of...my FAVORITE tasting supplement I've ever tried over the past year! I haven't tried any of the other flavors yet, but I'm dying too!

    Thank you and ErgoGenix for generously sending me sample containers of each flavor to try out and Pineapple Mango was
    favorite and Orange Peach was my 2nd but I will be having both flavors in my supplement cabinet in the future.

    I think ErgoGenix has definitely set a standard on this flavor and I like the tangy/tart/sweet flavor of it and again it's completely
    different from Scivations Mango Nectar which is my favorite flavor from them so I have NO PROBLEM having both of these
    bcaa supplements in my stash at the same time cause the flavors are different.

    I've got a tub of mango nectar right now as well, and between the 2, it's no contest for me...I much preferred the ergochain pineapple mango to the xtend mango nectar. Xt ends flavoring is good but a little on the overly sweet side for me.

    Thanks for checking it out Rob and I had given someone a sample scoop of the ErgoBlast in that Pineapple Mango and
    he loved the effects and the taste so know when I received the bcaa's I gave him a sample of pineapple mango flavor
    and told him to try it intra workout but I didn't tell him the flavor, the next day he came running up to and was like
    '"yo dude that tasted like the pre-workout I like" so I told him what it was and now he's got a PW and and intra the
    same flavor pineapple mango and he's loving it.!!! So once again thanks for the samples I always spread the word when
    I like something.
