Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino-Hydrate 450g - Icy Blue Raz

BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) are essential amino acids – leucine, isoleucine, and valine – that the body cannot produce on its own. They play a vital role in muscle protein synthesis, muscle growth, repair, and reducing exercise-induced fatigue.

This product is specifically designed for intra-workout supplementation. It is most effective when consumed during your training session to provide sustained energy and support muscle recovery.

The general recommendation is to mix one serving with 500ml of cold water. However, you can adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired taste and consistency.
