Who it may fit
Active adults looking to add quick amino acids around workouts or those with low protein intake seeking an easy single-tablet option.
Key actives per serving
- Leucine: 110 mg
- Glutamic Acid: 270 mg
- Proline: 135 mg
- Valine: 75 mg
- Isoleucine: 60 mg
How to take

Diet / Allergen fit
Contains: Milk (casein).
Ingredients explained
Leucine
Leucine activates muscle protein synthesis signaling pathways and serves as a building block for new muscle proteins.
Caution: High intakes of isolated BCAAs may cause stomach upset for some people; take with water and assess tolerance.
Glutamic Acid
Glutamic acid functions as a key amino acid in nitrogen metabolism and can be converted to glutamine to support protein building and cellular energy cycles.
Caution: Those sensitive to dietary glutamates may notice headache or flushing; start with the suggested serving.
Proline
Proline is a structural amino acid that contributes to collagen formation and general protein structure in tissues.
Caution: Amino acid supplements may affect protein balance; consider total dietary protein intake.
Valine
Valine, a branched-chain amino acid, is used by muscles as a substrate for protein construction and energy during activity.
Caution: Excess BCAAs may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; hydrate well and follow label directions.
Isoleucine
Isoleucine supports muscle protein assembly and helps facilitate glucose uptake into muscle during recovery.
Caution: People on protein-restricted diets should consider overall amino acid intake to avoid exceeding targets.
How they work together
This formula supplies predigested casein that provides essential and branched-chain amino acids to feed muscle protein synthesis while also offering conditionally important amino acids like glutamic acid and proline for general protein building. The mix covers both signaling-focused amino acids and structural components to support recovery nutrition after activity.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Keep your licensed health care practitioner informed when using this product.
Who should be cautious: Contains hydrolyzed casein from milk. People with milk allergy or lactose sensitivity may need to avoid or use caution.
