Essential Amino Acids

A premium blend of  the 9 essential amino acids (EAAs) in a mixable powder - this product has now superseded our BCAAs as they have been largely proven not as effective in comparison to these. Mix it with water or add it to a shake to up your intake and support your nutritional and training goals.

Essential amino acids, or EAAs, are called that because your body can’t produce them naturally. You must to get them from your diet. Generally whole, animal protein based protein sources contain the full spectrum of these however if you struggle to hit your daily protein targets (1.5g to 2g per Kg body weight per day), or are embarking on a very intensive training program, supplementing with these may well give you an improvement in recovery and help formation of lean muscle mass.

They could also be of particular benefit to vegans or those on a calorie deficit, ensuring you get enough of an intake of the full spectrum of Amino Acids.

This formula is an exclusive blend containing all 9 EAAs: leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, threonine, methionine and histidine. Each 15g serving contains 5g of leucine, a key amino acid in the initiation of muscle protein synthesis. 

Directions on Use
