Exercise recovery, Muscle protein synthesis, Hydration and electrolytes
Who it may fit
Active adults seeking convenient essential amino acids around training or those with low protein intake looking for practical intra or post‑workout support.
Key actives per serving
- L-Leucine: 1.5 g
- L-Isoleucine: 750 mg
- L-Valine: 750 mg
- L-Threonine: 750 mg
- L-Lysine Hydrochloride: 650 mg
How to take
Mix 1 serving in 8–10 fl oz of water and shake well; take 2 servings per day, ideally around workouts or between meals. Flavoured amino powders are often well tolerated with food or during training; sip with extra water to support hydration.
Diet / Allergen fit
Zero sugar; Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine.
Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis after exercise.
Caution: High doses on an empty stomach may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; balance with other essential amino acids for regular use.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscles for energy and may support glucose uptake during and after exercise.
Caution: Large single doses may cause stomach upset; individuals monitoring blood sugar should be mindful.
L-Valine
Valine competes with tryptophan for transport across the blood–brain barrier, which may help reduce perceived exertion and support muscle protein turnover.
Caution: Excess intake may cause digestive discomfort; maintain adequate hydration.
L-Threonine
Threonine contributes to protein structure and is a precursor for glycine and serine, which may support collagen and muscle protein formation.
Caution: Very high intakes may cause gastrointestinal upset; keep within labelled serving sizes.
L-Lysine Hydrochloride
Lysine is required for new protein formation and assists carnitine synthesis, which may aid amino acid utilisation in muscles.
Caution: May cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals; take with water and do not exceed suggested use.
How they work together
The BCAAs leucine, isoleucine and valine may drive muscle protein synthesis and provide workout energy support. Threonine and lysine supply additional essential building blocks to complete protein formation, complementing the BCAAs for balanced amino availability.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults aged 18 and over only. Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Seek advice from a licensed healthcare professional before use, especially if you take medicines or have a medical condition. Stop use 2 weeks before surgery. Use only as directed.
Who should be cautious: People with phenylketonuria should avoid due to phenylalanine content. Those sensitive to sweeteners such as sucralose or acesulfame K may prefer caution. People on serotonergic medicines such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs should be cautious due to L‑tryptophan. Consult a healthcare provider before combining with medicines that may interact.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
