Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery from exercise.
Caution: High single doses on an empty stomach may cause stomach upset; take with water and consider pairing with food if sensitive.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscle as an energy substrate and may support glucose uptake during activity.
Caution: Excessive amino acid intake may cause digestive discomfort; adjust serving size if needed.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that can be used by muscles during exercise and may help limit muscle protein breakdown.
Caution: May cause nausea in some when taken without food; start with a smaller amount to assess tolerance.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine provides a building block for proteins and is involved in collagen formation and carnitine synthesis.
Caution: Lysine HCl adds acidity that can irritate sensitive stomachs; mix well and sip slowly.
L-Threonine
Threonine contributes to protein structure and is a precursor for glycine and serine, which are involved in tissue repair and neurotransmitter balance.
Caution: Large amino acid loads may compete for absorption; follow the suggested serving to avoid imbalance.
How they work together
Leucine, isoleucine and valine supply branched-chain amino acids that muscles readily use during and after exercise, with leucine signalling muscle protein building. Lysine and threonine add essential building blocks to complete the amino acid profile, supporting balanced protein synthesis.
