Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery after exercise.
Caution: High doses on an empty stomach may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; take with water and monitor tolerance.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine can be used by muscles for energy and may help regulate glucose uptake during activity.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in some people; start with the suggested serving to assess tolerance.
L-Valine
Valine serves as a branched-chain amino acid fuel source and participates in muscle protein turnover.
Caution: Excess intake without adequate overall protein may be unbalanced; follow the labelled serving.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine is required for building proteins and supports carnitine formation, which aids fatty acid transport for energy.
Caution: May cause digestive upset in sensitive individuals; taking with food or water can help.
L-Threonine
Threonine contributes to protein synthesis and is a precursor for glycine and serine, which support collagen and muscle proteins.
Caution: Large amounts may cause gastrointestinal discomfort; adhere to the suggested serving.
How they work together
The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine provide substrates and signalling that may promote muscle protein building and energy use during training. Lysine and threonine round out the essential amino acid profile to support complete protein assembly.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults aged 18 years and over. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: Contains L-tryptophan, which may interact with antidepressants that affect serotonin. People with phenylketonuria should note the presence of L-phenylalanine. Those with kidney issues or on protein-restricted diets may wish to discuss amino acid supplements with a healthcare professional. If using medications that may interact with L-tryptophan, it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before combining.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place.
