Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway in muscle cells, which may promote muscle protein synthesis and support recovery.
Caution: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; take with water and avoid exceeding suggested use.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine supplies an essential building block for proteins and may aid muscle protein assembly and nitrogen balance.
Caution: High doses may cause stomach upset in sensitive individuals; take with food if needed.
L-Threonine
Threonine is an essential amino acid involved in protein formation and supports structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.
Caution: Excess intake may lead to digestive discomfort; follow the suggested use.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine can be used by muscle as an energy source during exercise and may support muscle protein turnover.
Caution: May cause mild nausea on an empty stomach; take with water.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that competes with tryptophan for transport and may help reduce central fatigue during exercise.
Caution: High intakes may cause digestive upset; adhere to label directions.
How they work together
Leucine drives muscle protein synthesis signalling, while isoleucine and valine provide complementary branched-chain substrates for energy and amino balance during activity. Lysine and threonine round out the essential amino acid profile to support complete protein building.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not for those under 18. Do not use if pregnant or nursing.
Who should be cautious: Contains L-tryptophan, which may interact with SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs; discuss with a healthcare provider if using these. People with phenylketonuria should be cautious due to L-phenylalanine. If you have a medical condition or take medication, consider discussing with a healthcare provider before use, especially if there is potential for interaction.
Storage: Store at room temperature. Protect from excessive heat and moisture.
