Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may signal muscle protein synthesis and support recovery after exercise.
Caution: High doses of free-form leucine on an empty stomach may cause stomach upset; take with water and assess tolerance.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used as a fuel source during activity and may support glucose uptake into muscle cells.
Caution: May affect blood sugar responses; individuals monitoring glucose should observe how they feel.
L-Valine
Valine is incorporated into muscle proteins and may help reduce muscle protein breakdown during training.
Caution: Excessive intake may cause digestive discomfort; start with the suggested serving.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine provides an essential building block for proteins and supports carnitine formation involved in energy use.
Caution: May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; take with adequate water.
L-Threonine
Threonine contributes to protein structure and collagen formation, supporting normal tissue building.
Caution: Very high amino acid loads can upset the stomach; follow the suggested serving.
How they work together
The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine provide direct substrates and signalling for muscle protein building, especially around training. Lysine and threonine add additional essential amino acids to round out the profile, supporting complete protein construction during recovery.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults aged 18 years and over. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People with phenylketonuria should note the presence of L-phenylalanine. Those using antidepressants that affect serotonin should be cautious due to the inclusion of L-tryptophan. Individuals with allergies to any listed ingredients should avoid use.
