AI overview
AI generated. Not medical advice.What it's for
Exercise recovery support; Muscle protein synthesis support; Intra-workout fuel
Who it may fit
Active adults who train regularly and want convenient amino acids around workouts, or those with lower protein intake seeking an easy intra-workout option.
How to take
Mix 1 scoop (5 g) with 180–240 ml of water, juice, or a supplement and shake or stir for 15–20 seconds; use around workouts, and taking with a carbohydrate or protein drink may aid tolerance and utilisation.
Diet / Allergen fit
Gluten Free; Soy Free; Produced in a facility that also handles: milk, soy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, sesame, fish, crustacean and shellfish.
Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway in muscle cells, which may signal muscle protein synthesis and support muscle recovery after exercise.
Caution: May cause stomach upset in some; take with food or during/after training if sensitive.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscles for energy and may help regulate glucose uptake during and after exercise.
Caution: High doses may cause digestive discomfort; start with the suggested serving to assess tolerance.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid used by muscle as a fuel source and contributes to protein building.
Caution: Excessive intake may lead to nausea or fatigue; follow label directions.
How they work together
Leucine is the primary signal for starting muscle protein building, while isoleucine and valine provide additional substrates and support energy use in working muscle. Together, the three BCAAs cover signalling and fuel roles that are relevant around training.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Consult a qualified healthcare professional before use if pregnant, nursing, under 18, have a medical condition, or take prescription or OTC medicines. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if inner seal is broken. California Proposition 65: this product exposes you to lead, which is known in California to be associated with birth defects or reproductive harm.
Who should be cautious: People with allergies to soy, milk, egg, peanut, tree nuts, sesame, fish, crustacean or shellfish should be cautious as the product is made in a facility that handles these allergens. Those with metabolic or liver concerns, or on multiple medicines, may wish to discuss branched-chain amino acids with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

Allmax brings you Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) powder in a 2:1:1 ratio. Unlike other aminos, BCAAs are unique in that they are taken up by the muscles directly whereas other aminos are processed by the liver. BCAAs are critical to building quality muscle quickly. BCAAs are widely known to increase the rate of muscle growth in response to training; in fact, research indicates that as much as 35% of muscle tissue is comprised of BCAAs. BCAAs are highly Anti-Catabolic. Since muscle tissue absorbs BCAAs directly, your muscle tissue has the fuel it needs and dramatically limits muscle tissue breakdown. For competitive athletes looking to increase strength and muscle size, BCAAs are the "must-have" supplement.
L-Leucine - provides support to lean muscle tissue and provides energy, specifically when training intensely, and helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance within the body. Leucine is referred to as a "limiting nutrient"; meaning the body requires L-Leucine in a specific ratio to other aminos to assimilate protein into the body. Leucine activates a major anabolic pathway called the mTOR pathway which stimulates muscle protein synthesis.
L-Valine - plays a role in glucose metabolism, protein synthesis and provides immune support. It provides extra glucose for energy during times of hardcore training, making it a valuable addition for any athlete. It is also involved in the detoxification of excess nitrogen in the liver.
L-Isoleucine - provides muscle recovery post-workout and has been found to be helpful to assist in supporting blood sugar levels already within normal range. Isoleucine plays a role in haemoglobin formation and can increase energy levels and extend endurance.
AllMax BCAA 2:1:1 are the highest quality BCAAs you can buy.
†In conjunction with diet and resistance training.
