Unique benefits:

- Added vitamin B6.
Effectiveness
These BCAAs are of the 2:1:1 ratio (leucine / isoleucine / valine). They are used for the following purposes:
- Muscle recovery after workouts. Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are the three essential amino acids that make up the majority of muscle tissue. Therefore, consuming BCAAs helps accelerate their recovery.
- Preserving muscle during cutting or weight loss. This is possible due to the same nuance mentioned above.
- Muscle growth. However, BCAAs are only three amino acids. Therefore, if you consume only them, it may not be effective. BCAAs work well for muscle growth in addition to a gainer.
Glutamine enhances the effectiveness of this product. Besides improving immunity, it also accelerates muscle recovery. In fact, glutamine makes up the largest percentage of muscle among the non-essential amino acids.
How to take
Here are the main rules for taking:
- Regardless of the number of workouts, it is better to take them every day.
- Take 1-2 times a day (depending on your financial capabilities). BCAAs are quite an expensive supplement. Once in the first half of the day and the other in the second.
- Whether taken before, after, or during a workout is not critical. Personally, I take them in the morning and after my workout (or in the evening).
- If you drink protein every day twice, then there is no need to buy BCAAs separately, as regular whey protein contains about 15-17% BCAAs.
- To achieve an effect, the duration of intake should be at least a month.
- Maximum duration of intake - unlimited. This means that it can be taken for a lifetime without breaks.
Daily dosage:
- For weight up to 60 kg: 12 - 16 grams (if taken 2 times a day, then 6 - 8 grams at a time).
- For weight up to 80 kg: 16 - 22 grams (if taken 2 times a day, then 8 - 11 grams at a time).
- For weight up to 100 kg: 22 - 26 grams (if taken 2 times a day, then 11 - 13 grams at a time).
- For weight over 100 kg: 26 - 30 grams (if taken 2 times a day, then 13 - 15 grams at a time).
Naturally, all dosages are approximate. They largely depend on your overall activity, number of workouts, how much or little protein you consume from regular food, etc.
I advise against paying attention to the dosage indicated by the manufacturer. Manufacturers almost always underestimate dosages (sometimes several times over). This is done so that you think you're getting a large package, and it will last a long time. In this case, you are much more likely to buy it.
