AI overview
AI generated. Not medical advice.What it's for
Muscle protein support, Post-exercise recovery nutrition, General amino acid intake
Who it may fit
Active adults seeking convenient amino acids after workouts or those with low evening protein intake looking for a simple protein top-up.
Key actives per serving
- Leucine: 110 mg per tablet (typical)
- Glutamic Acid: 270 mg per tablet (typical)
- Proline: 135 mg per tablet (typical)
- Valine: 75 mg per tablet (typical)
- Isoleucine: 60 mg per tablet (typical)
How to take
Take 1 tablet immediately after exercise or at bedtime with water; taking with a small snack may aid comfort if you are sensitive to amino acids on an empty stomach.
Diet / Allergen fit
Contains: Milk (from hydrolysed casein).
Ingredients explained
Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may signal muscle protein synthesis after intake.
Caution: Those limiting protein or following specific amino acid restrictions should consider total intake, as excessive single amino acids may upset balance.
Glutamic Acid
Glutamic acid serves as a key amino acid in nitrogen transport and is a precursor for neurotransmitter glutamate, supporting overall amino acid metabolism.
Caution: High intake on an empty stomach may cause mild digestive discomfort in some people.
Proline
Proline contributes to collagen structure and supports connective tissue protein formation.
Caution: People sensitive to concentrated amino acids may prefer taking with food to reduce stomach upset.
Valine
Valine, a branched-chain amino acid, may be used by muscles as a fuel source and supports muscle protein turnover.
Caution: Combine with adequate overall protein and carbohydrate intake for balanced amino acid utilisation.
Isoleucine
Isoleucine supports energy use in muscle and contributes to muscle protein synthesis as a branched-chain amino acid.
Caution: Those on protein-restricted diets should monitor total amino acid intake to avoid imbalance.
How they work together
The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine influence muscle protein synthesis and provide readily usable amino acids for working muscles, especially after exercise. Glutamic acid and proline contribute to overall amino acid balance and structural protein formation, rounding out the profile from hydrolysed casein.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Keep your healthcare practitioner informed when using this product.
Who should be cautious: People with milk allergy or lactose intolerance may need caution as the product contains hydrolysed casein from milk.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.

- Lysine (1) 75 mg
- Arginine (2) 45 mg
- Tyrosine (2) 65 mg
- Tryptophan (1) 10 mg
- Phenylalanine (1) 60 mg
