BSN AMINOx Review — Cherry Cola Flavored Amino Acids
I’m a supplement geek, what can I say? I enjoy trying new products and today’s product caught my attention. I love me some Coke Zero (or Coke Zero Sugar – whatever the heck they are calling it these days). And the cherry flavor is good too when you want to change things up a bit. Well, the product I’m about to get into is the best of both worlds – it’s a BCAA and energy product that is flavored like a cherry cola. BOOM! Are you excited? I am! Let’s dive into the BSN AMINOx review of their Cherry Cola flavor.

BSN AMINOx Review
BSN touts their new product to be an “anytime energy and recovery” product. So far so good – I like what I’m hearing. BSN AMINOx contains 10 grams of amino acids as well as energy enhancement ingredients like caffeine. Who doesn’t love amino acids and caffeine? It should be noted though, that while the BSN AMINOx cherry cola flavor contains caffeine, they do have other flavors that are caffeine-free. This particular flavor just happens to be part of their BSN AMINOx soda flavor series (they also have a regular cola flavor as well as a Dr. Amino which I can only imagine is similar to Dr. Pepper).
*Due to the effervescence, you should only stir the product and refrain from shaking it in a shaker bottle.
When reading the direction of the BSN AMINOx packaging, it states you are to mix one serving with 6-8 ounces of water and consume 15-30 minutes before your workout. For those of you sensitive to stimulants, each serving contains 150 mg of caffeine (coming from tea and/or coffee beans). While I would definitely use the BSN AMINOx powder as a pre-workout, I truly believe it shines as an “anytime” type of product. When I’m in the mood for a sweet beverage but don’t want the added calories of something full of sugar, this would most certainly fit the bill. It would help my muscles recover all while giving me a boost of energy.
I would use this product in between meals or anytime during the day that I’m thirsty and want a “treat” without the added calories. BSN AMINOx only contains 10 calories and 2 grams of carbohydrates.
How Does This Product Rank?
Overall, I really enjoy BSN AMINOx cherry cola. It mixed extremely easily and there were no clumps or gritty taste. The flavor was really good, in my opinion. While it wasn’t spot on with the taste of Cherry Coke (No Sugar), it had enough likeness that it made me think I was drinking soda.
150 mg of caffeine for me really isn’t going to do anything since my adrenals are shot from extended use of stimulants (too much time spent testing products over the last decade), yet I did, however, feel a slight increase in energy. My body also for whatever reason tends to recover from workouts extremely quickly and while I feel as if the product did help a little, with amino acids you aren’t going to “feel” anything like you would from a stimulant-based product. So, your mileage may vary with how your body responds to this product
Would I recommend the product? Absolutely. I thought BSN AMINOx was a solid product with a good profile. If you aren’t a fan of stimulants, they have non-caffeinated versions available as well in many flavors. If you’re interested, give the product a try for yourself and see if you enjoy the benefits.
