Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may trigger muscle protein synthesis and support recovery after exercise.
Caution: High single amino acid intakes may compete with absorption of other amino acids; spread doses through the day and take with adequate protein intake.
L-Valine
Valine serves as a branched-chain amino acid that can be used by muscles during exercise and may help support energy and reduce muscle breakdown.
Caution: Large doses of isolated BCAAs can cause digestive discomfort in some people; start with the lowest effective serving.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine participates in muscle protein metabolism and may support glucose uptake into muscle during exercise.
Caution: If you follow a restricted-protein diet, account for total amino acid intake to avoid imbalance.
How they work together
Leucine drives protein synthesis signalling, while isoleucine and valine provide additional branched-chain substrates that can be used by muscle for energy and to balance amino acid utilisation. Together they cover signalling and fuel roles that are relevant around training.
