Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway in muscle, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support muscle repair after exercise.
Caution: May be less useful if overall protein intake is already high; excessive single amino acid intake can upset amino acid balance.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscle as a fuel source during exercise and may support glucose uptake and muscle protein turnover.
Caution: High intakes from supplements may cause digestive discomfort in some people.
L-Valine
Valine is incorporated into muscle proteins and may help reduce muscle protein breakdown during training.
Caution: Large doses of branched-chain amino acids may cause nausea in sensitive individuals.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine is an essential amino acid required for building body proteins and supports collagen formation.
Caution: May cause stomach upset in some users when taken on an empty stomach.
L-Threonine
Threonine supports protein structure and is a precursor for glycine and serine involved in tissue maintenance.
Caution: Balanced intake with other essential amino acids is important for optimal utilisation.
How they work together
The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine provide key substrates and signalling for muscle protein synthesis and reduced breakdown. Lysine and threonine add additional essential building blocks, helping complete the amino acid profile for protein construction.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults aged 18 and over only. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or if you have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People using antidepressants such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs may need caution due to the inclusion of L-tryptophan, which may affect serotonin. Those with phenylketonuria should note the presence of L-phenylalanine. If combining with medications that may interact, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider first.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
