Taste delicious
These BLOCKHEAD BCAA & Prebiotic Vegan Sweets come in 12 Pouches; each contains seven sweets. My only recommendation would perhaps be a resealable pouch to avoid the spillage.The taste is pleasant; the texture is addictive, soft but not chewy; I can't stop eating them. It does give me energy before a workout.However, my wife doesnt like the taste; a strawberry is very mild for her liking.This is a purely personal preference, though, because as we all know, everyone responds differently to taste, and even the same taste on two different people will taste differently, so it is impossible to see if you'll like sweets without trying it in yourself first.As lovely as this is, I feel it is a little overpriced for what it is at £19.99 ( on 26/04/2022) for a bit of quantity, but I'm sure the price will adjust over the coming weeks.I hope this review helps you to make a purchasing decision.

Cool format, tastes like STRAWBERRIES & CREAM...
This sounded like an innovative product to me, firstly because BCAA sweets are a pocket-sized, portable format that require zero prep and feels easier to take than powders - and secondly because they have probiotics added in.You get 7 gummy cubes in each bag and the sweets have an enjoyably soft and chewy texture just like any good jelly sweet. They also have a palatable taste with a fruity, strawberry & cream type flavour that I definitely liked. Not sickly-sweet or synthetic and just a light aftertaste from the sweetness.I was still taking my usual vegan protein powder when I tried these (which already has BCAAs in there) and can’t say I noticed any change (for better or worse) to performance or recovery adding the gummies into my diet...So for me, a bit pricey (and perhaps necessary) for every day (even for the probiotics aspect which I get daily from my diet anyway) but I do like the convenience of the format. I think the gummies are really handy (and more cost effective) if I take them as a supplement when I can’t get to my protein powder, just so I know I have the BCAA’s covered.

Way too costly for what you get
I liked these although I can see why people find the taste to be a bit weird. They have a bit of an unfamiliar flavour. But I liked them and I would probably get these regularly if they weren't this expensive, as the cost is ridiculous!!! There's only seven pieces in a pouch. I initially bought them on sale for a steep discount which is the only way I'd be able to justify getting them.To the company - offer them on sale more often or simply reduce the price and you'd probably have way more people buying your product.

Delicious and effective pre/post workout... but....
These Probiotic and BCCA sweets by Blockhead are an interesting creation. I have in the past tried their other products and found that they were all round fantastic. These sweets have a delicious strawberry taste with an excellent texture consistency. They are chewy and overall are very pleasant to eat.I sadly have 1 issue. There aren’t any serving recommendations anywhere. I personally had a slight headache after having 3 sweets in 1 sitting, though the packaging suggests you can have the whole pack as a snack. It isn’t clear enough which isn’t acceptable.Though after having 1-2 during the day, I began to feel a little more energised particularly after a workout. This is thanks to the addition of BCCAs which allow your muscle to recover faster after strenuous activity.Overall, another fantastic supplement by Blockhead, though only when had in moderation. The lack of serving information is what let’s this down. 3 stars.Thank you for reading my honest review, I hope you found it helpful! :)

Expensive but they have their benefits.
This box comes with 12 pouches, which (so far) have had between 7-8 in each. You're likely to get the full 84 pieces. That (at £20) does mean each piece is around 24p each, or £1.66 a pouch.The sweets are like a firm jelly. Not overly flavoursome and no aftertaste (unfortunately) but quite palatable.Content is around 65% carbs, of which nearly 10% is sugar. That doesn't make them ideal for diabetics, but better than some treats can be. They are as expensive as diabetic sweets though, so no real advantage there.I've yet to feel any benefit from the prebiotics, although I've had only subtle improvement taking prebiotics anyway. The laxative effect of these may actually be counterproductive if you eat a whole pack though!

Delicious and good for the gut
I absolutely love taking supplements in gummy form so I was really excited to try these. They come in a pack of 12 pouches, 7 gummies in each pouch. They contain prebiotics and BCAA.I have been taking these for the last few days for quick pick me up before my gym session. They taste delicious. They have a delicious strawberry taste, not too strong, and are obviously easy to chew and therefore swallow. They are not overly sweet which I really like.Overall, I'm very happy with these probiotic gummies. The probiotic gummies are a delight to eat! With the plus of knowing it's also helping my gut health. I found it calmed down a lot of gas issues I was having from eating certain foods. If all medicines were made this way, I would be eating my way into good health, more often.

Delicious And Good For You
These Blockhead British brand strawberry flavoured gummy vegan performance sweets are low carb and sugar free, they’re also prebiotic and contain 1190 amount of iBCAAs for essential protein. They’re only 36 calories per pack, each pack containing 7 square gummies taken daily. There’s 12 packs so ideal for popping in a pocket when out running, gym, cycling or anywhere you just need a boost of energy. They’re not cheap but they’re not just ‘sweets’ either. I’ve found them great, they don’t irritate my tummy or my teeth (both are sensitive). They have a good use by date too, 18 months from today. Please see my photos, I’m very happy to recommend these performance gummies.
