Ever since we saw Fusion Bodybuilding promote its amino formula Aminomania as candy like, we’ve been wanting to find out how true that is. The first thing that comes to mind when we think candy and aminos is obviously MAN Sports’ ISO-Amino, which is what we’re going to be measuring Aminomania’s candy likeness against. While the Fusion supplement does have a very different formula compared to ISO-Amino, like most of our amino reviews today it’s all about flavor.
For our Aminomania review we do have both of the product’s original flavors, Blue Raspberry and White Grape. For those that have been following our website you will know there was in fact a third flavor unveiled late last month. The new addition to the supplement is Watermelon Splash, although unlike the originals it is not currently available.
Blue Raspberry sweet but not candy like
The first flavor we’re going to talk about is Blue Raspberry Aminomania, purely because it is our least favorite of the two. Despite coming in second, Blue Raspberry is actually in no way a poor flavor. Basically it gets across its title’s taste fairly quickly, with a solid raspberry base and that touch of sweetness that instantly makes it blue raspberry. The big question of course is does it taste anything like candy?
While we wouldn’t necessarily go directly to saying Blue Raspberry Aminomania is candy like, we will say it’s extremely sweet. It is that strong raspberry sweetness that gets it close to candy tasting, especially when it’s amplified with a little less water than normal. By that we don’t mean it loses its flavor if you go the other way and add it to a lot of water, as the raspberry sweetness does manage to stay fairly strong even when diluted.
White Grape candy flavored as promised
As for our favorite out of the two Aminomanias, we’re happy to confirm that unlike Blue Raspberry, White Grape is in fact candy like. Strangely enough, White Grape does have the same kind of consistency and flavor style as Blue Raspberry. What makes it different is that instead of its fruity sweetness coming off too artificial or too sweet in some ways, White Grape has more of a sour side to it
It is that sour side that adds a kind of sugary candy like taste to it, that is noticeable concentrated or diluted. You will of course get more sour and sweet the less water you mix with White Grape, although either way there is no denying it’s more candy like than any other grape amino available.
One out of two certainly isn’t bad
In short for us White Grape Aminomania follows through on Fusion’s candy like promise, with Blue Raspberry not quite making it. As for how the two measure up to the original candy like ISO-Amino, Blue Raspberry Aminomania obviously doesn’t even come close, especially since MAN’s Blue Bomb-Sicle proves it can be done. White Grape on the other hand is actually how we’d imagine a grape ISO-Amino would taste, with probably a little more sour and a softer grape base.
We definitely look forward to seeing how Watermelon Splash turns out, as we imagine it will follow in the footsteps of White Grape since watermelon flavors tend to be quite sweet and sour anyway.
