Workout recovery, Muscle protein synthesis, Active lifestyle support, Hydration and electrolytes
Who it may fit
Active adults with frequent training sessions or those with low dietary protein at certain meals seeking convenient amino acid support.
Key actives per serving
- L-Leucine: 1.5 g
- L-Isoleucine: 750 mg
- L-Valine: 750 mg
- L-Lysine Hydrochloride: 650 mg
- L-Threonine: 750 mg
How to take
Mix 1 serving in 8–10 fl oz of water and shake well; take 2 servings per day, ideally during or after workouts or on rest days as desired. Amino acid drinks are often well tolerated during training; adjust water to taste.
Diet / Allergen fit
Phenylketonurics: Contains phenylalanine.
Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may signal muscle protein synthesis after exercise.
Caution: High amino acid loads on an empty stomach may cause stomach discomfort; take with water and assess tolerance.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscles for energy and contributes to muscle protein synthesis.
Caution: May affect blood sugar responses during training; consider monitoring carbohydrate intake around workouts.
L-Valine
Valine serves as a branched-chain amino acid that can be used for energy in muscle and supports protein building.
Caution: Excess free-form amino acids can cause nausea in some people; start with one serving to gauge tolerance.
L-Lysine Hydrochloride
Lysine provides an essential building block for proteins and supports collagen and carnitine formation.
Caution: May cause gastrointestinal upset in sensitive individuals; taking with food or a shake may help.
L-Threonine
Threonine is an essential amino acid used to build proteins, including structural proteins like collagen and elastin.
Caution: Large doses of single amino acids may compete with others for absorption; follow labeled serving sizes.
How they work together
The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine supply direct substrates and signaling for muscle protein building during and after training. Lysine and threonine round out the essential amino acid profile to support complete protein synthesis, complementing BCAA-driven signaling with the materials needed for tissue repair.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults 18 years and older only. Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Consult a licensed healthcare professional before use, especially if you take medication or have a medical condition. Stop use 2 weeks before surgery. Use only as directed.
Who should be cautious: People with phenylketonuria or who need to limit phenylalanine. Individuals sensitive to sodium or potassium. Those using serotonergic medications such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs due to the presence of L-tryptophan may wish to discuss with a healthcare provider. If combining with medications that may interact, a healthcare provider consultation is recommended before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
