Exercise recovery, Muscle protein support, Intra-workout amino acids, Hydration support
Who it may fit
Active adults who train regularly and want convenient amino acids around workouts, or those with high-protein goals seeking extra leucine-rich support between meals.
Key actives per serving
- L-Leucine: 2,500 mg
- L-Isoleucine: 1,250 mg
- L-Valine: 1,250 mg
- Sodium: 80 mg (3% DV)
How to take
Mix 1 scoop with 8–12 oz of water. Use before exercise, during training, after workouts, or between meals to top up BCAA intake. Taking with water during exercise helps hydration; using around protein-containing meals is common for active users.
Diet / Allergen fit
Contains: Soy (lecithin).
Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates mTOR signalling in muscle cells, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis after exercise or between meals.
Caution: High single amino acid intakes may upset stomach in some people; take with water and avoid exceeding suggested use.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscle as a branched-chain amino acid that may support energy use during exercise and contribute to protein rebuilding.
Caution: Large doses of single amino acids can cause digestive discomfort; space from other protein supplements if sensitive.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that may be used by muscles during activity and supports the amino acid pool for recovery.
Caution: May cause mild nausea in some users on an empty stomach; consider taking with water or a small snack.
Sodium
Sodium supports fluid balance and nerve-muscle signalling, which may aid hydration during training.
Caution: If following a low-sodium diet, factor this amount into daily intake.
How they work together
Leucine drives the primary signal for muscle protein building, while isoleucine and valine complement it by contributing to amino acid availability and exercise fuel. Sodium supports fluid balance, which may help with training sessions when BCAAs are used around workouts.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not suitable for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions, those taking any medicines, or anyone under 18 years of age.
Who should be cautious: People with soy allergy due to soy lecithin content. Those sensitive to artificial sweeteners such as sucralose or acesulfame K. Individuals who need to limit sodium intake. If you use medicines, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
