Frequently Asked Questions
What are BCAAs for?
BCAAs are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Since they are essential, they are not naturally produced by our bodies and need to be sourced from our nutrition. Our BCAA Amino provides an immediate source of energy during exercise, and is your key defense in maintaining muscle mass and decreasing muscle soreness well after your workout. They also have shown effectiveness in keeping blood sugar levels high.
What is a 2:1:1 BCAA ratio?
As you may know, BCAAs include the three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. The 2:1:1 ratio refers to the proportion of leucine, isoleucine and valine in the formula. In our case, our BCAA Amino offers you all three essential amino acids in a 2:1:1 ratio, meaning you get 2 parts leucine to one part isoleucine and one part valine per shake.
The BCAA ratio of 2:1:1 is proven to be best suited for building and maintaining muscle mass.
Can I take BCAA Amino on my days off?
Yes. Studies have shown that BCAA supplementation can aid in reducing muscle soreness associated with endurance and muscle-damaging exercise over a longer period of time.
We recommend consuming a BCAA drink every day to help stretch these effects, even on your recovery days.
What’s the difference between BCAA Amino and Amino & Energy?
The Amino & Energy is a 2-in-1 product that is not only an amino acid supplement, but also a great source of energy for the mind and body, as it contains green tea extract, caffeine and green coffee bean extract. We recommend consuming our BCAA Amino, if you already had your morning coffee and don’t necessarily need an extra boost of caffeine, but still need something to keep you going during your workout. If you are training late and are sensitive to caffeine, our BCAA Amino is also the best option.
