Did it change recently? no moar B6, taurine and lemons? I'm fine with the betaine instead, does 1 scoop gets you at least 2g leucine? *if it can be disclosed

Whats their best flavor?

[AMeyer9]

I think it's been a few months since the change. I didn't think Blueberry was bad, but idk if they changed the flavor as well with the update.

[DASBUNKER]

aah heard they were all updated, haven't seen much feedback on them.

Can't answer your last question but yes ingredients were tweaked and flavor was supposedly upgraded.

[ajvitan]

The new watermelon flavor is delicious. Much improved than the OG.

[kissdadookie]

So why the exclusion of some of the ingredients in the product? Betaine is good and all but it's in a ton of products now. The lemon verbena however wasn't widely used asfaik.

Taurine was also a good ingredient in the original.

[kbayne]

Yes the formula was tweaked a bit.

Dropped lemon verbena because it was messing with the flavoring system and the color. We have had many people comment on how they do not care about the color or flavor and that it tasted just fine with lemon verbena, but we did have quite a few consumers comment on the taste of each flavor and it being "okay". For those that do enjoy lemon verbena, it will be available in the future.

No moar HICA either.

No moar HICA either.

HICA is still there.

It was my favorite in OG, I must try this one then

I do believe they took out taurine because the new HV has it (maybe thinking about stacking?)

So.. if fasting trained is 1 scoop enough for the MPS?

[stan47islav]

Oh snap didn't see it at first...

Technically, you're not fasted anymore when consuming any BCAA product.

But 1 scoop would work pre-workout and then 1 scoop intra-workout if wanted.

So one scoop does not contain enough Luecine to stimulate MPS?

Where did I state that? And obviously I can't disclose the amount of leucine in the formula.

And the serving size is 2 scoops, which is the recommended dose, whether that be 2 scoops pre, 2 scoops intra, or 1 pre and 1 intra.

[powercage]

HICA is in ergonine as well. It's good stuff

[eatyourspinach]

For what it's worth I currently have the new version in Blueberry, tastes like berries I believe that the addition of "syngerglut" has potential to be beneficial based on the animal study and since I already take taurine regardless I didn't mind the change.

I didn't say you did but the original question was concerning luecine content. I did not realize the serving was 2 scoops (my mistake), but that pretty much answers the question.

Took out the Lemon V, B6, and Taurine
Replaced with SynerGlut + Betaine + altered Flavoring.

Maybe if you lose 30 lbs . Otherwise take the full 2

I'm sorry but that is just flat out ridiculous and unacceptable statement (from me as someone who has used Amino IV). When you are hiding stuff like freaking leucine in a prop blend of a freaking BCAA/EAA supp, that is just beyond pathetic (and frankly one of the main reasons I'm not buying Amino IV again). Sorry but your supps are not THAT special to warrant this amount of pussy-footing around.

We're sorry that you don't like the prop blend utilized and understand the frustration. In a 15g blend and the 10:1:1 BCAA Matrix being #1, do you feel you're being short-changed in the BCAA department?

How can I possibly "feel" one way or another when I am completely in the dark about actual content? But when you are putting this much effort into saying how great 10:1:1 ratio is, it would be nice if you at least told us the leucine content. This non-disclosure thing comes more across as hiding behind the prop than protecting your blend. You managed to do non-prop blends with some of your other products. I see no reason to do it with a BCAA/EAA supp these days.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Rushie again.

[ZeroInitiativE]

There definitely has to be a good amount of leucine in Amino IV with it being listed first. But I'm going to have to agree here and say that prop blends are no bueno.

This. In most cases I do understand why companies still use a prop blend, at least to some extent, but I don't get it with a BCAA product.

But a prop blend doesn't help them sell their product, and it definitely doesn't help them keep any secrets. There's only two reasons why I see a company would have a prop blend, first of which is under-dosing and the second of which is to add unnecessary ingredients in high doses. I don't support prop blends, unless the company is reputable.

Tbh, the prop blend doesn't bother me, as per typical with most products, the majority of folks will use a full max serving of a product (because you know, we are lifters and the max of anything and everything must be better, amiright?!?). So they obviously intend for you to take the max serving and with that total serving size, you're going to get the 2-3 grams (roughly, if not more) of leucine.

Now, taking the taurine out and the lemon verbana (which is arguably the distinguishing feature of the product IMHO, the lemon verbana that is), that kind of sucks but oh well.

Well yea that's why I trust prop blends from reputable companies, especially with ingredients that have no set "efficacious" dose
