Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates mTOR signalling in muscle, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery.
Caution: Take with adequate protein and calories, as isolated amino acids on an empty stomach may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine provides an essential building block for proteins and assists carnitine formation, which may support amino acid utilisation and tissue repair.
Caution: Those following a restricted protein diet should account for total amino acid intake to avoid imbalance.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is a branched-chain amino acid used by muscle for energy and protein building, which may support exercise performance and recovery.
Caution: High doses of BCAAs may compete with other amino acids for transport; keep total intake within typical supplement ranges.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that participates in muscle protein assembly and may help reduce muscle protein breakdown during exercise.
Caution: May cause mild nausea in some people if taken without food; take with water and consider pairing with meals.
L-Threonine
Threonine is required for protein synthesis and contributes to structural proteins like collagen and elastin.
Caution: Balance with a varied protein intake to maintain a broad amino acid profile.
How they work together
Leucine, isoleucine and valine provide branched-chain amino acids that supply substrates and signals for muscle protein building. Lysine and threonine complement the profile by supplying essential residues needed for complete protein formation.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults aged 18 and over. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People using antidepressants such as SSRIs, SNRIs, or MAOIs may need caution due to the presence of L‑Tryptophan. Those with phenylketonuria should note the presence of L‑Phenylalanine. If combining with medications that may interact, discuss with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
