Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway in muscle cells, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery after exercise.
Caution: Large amino acid doses on an empty stomach may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; take with water and assess tolerance.
L-Valine
Valine serves as a branched-chain amino acid that can be used by muscles for energy and may help limit exercise-related muscle breakdown.
Caution: High single doses may cause stomach upset; split doses around training if sensitive.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is involved in muscle protein turnover and may support glucose uptake into muscle during and after exercise.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in some people; reduce dose if experiencing issues.
L-Glutamine
Glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid that supports nitrogen transport and may help replenish muscle glutamine stores after intense activity.
Caution: If following a protein-restricted diet, account for total amino acid intake.
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine HCl)
Vitamin B6 acts as a cofactor for enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism, which may aid the utilisation of the included amino acids.
Caution: Do not exceed suggested intake from all sources to avoid long-term excessive B6 intake.
How they work together
Leucine, isoleucine and valine supply the key branched-chain amino acids that participate in muscle protein synthesis and can be used by working muscles for energy. Glutamine complements the BCAAs by supporting nitrogen balance and replenishing muscle glutamine levels after training. Vitamin B6 supports amino acid metabolism, helping the body utilise these amino acids effectively.
Safety and tips
Who should be cautious: People with kidney concerns or on a protein-restricted plan may wish to discuss amino acid supplements with a healthcare provider. Those with known sensitivity to gelatine should note the capsule material. If you are pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or use medications, consider professional guidance before use.

Overview

- non-GMO
- Muscle Recovery
- Food Supplement
- Premium Muscle Recovery Formula
- Enhanced with L-Glutamine
- Increases Nitrogen Retention
BCAAs are essential amino acids that cannot be produced by the body and must come from food or supplements. BCAA+G™ contains a precise blend of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and L-Glutamine, which are clinically proven to be essential for building lean muscle, improving strength, and reducing recovery time. BCAA+G™ increases protein synthesis, nitrogen retention, and most importantly protects muscles from the stress of heavy training and intense exercise.
The three BCAAs, leucine, valine, and isoleucine, promote muscle synthesis and are burned by muscles as fuel during a workout. Leucine is most important because it triggers protein synthesis and supports lean muscle mass. Both blood and muscle levels of BCAAs decrease during exercise, which necessitates replenishment to maintain lean muscle mass. Take BCAA+G™ during and/or after exercise to maintain metabolic rate and prevent muscle wasting.
