Product Description

The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine are essential amino acids and thus cannot be made in the body.* BCAAs are critical for muscle protein synthesis, and because BCAAs can be used as fuel during exercise, BCAA supplementation can help to preserve existing muscle tissue.* In addition, BCAAs can support the recovery process by promoting the normal repair processes that take place after exertion.* BCAAs also play an important role in the maintenance of proper immune system function and the support of healthy aging.* Natural color variation may occur in this product. Spoon Stirred: Add 2 level teaspoons of BCAA Powder to a glass filled with 8 - 10 oz. of water or your favorite beverage and mix vigorously with a spoon for about 15 - 20 seconds. Take 1 to 3 times daily. Can be taken before meals or before and after exercise. Shaker: Add 2 level teaspoons of BCAA Powder to your shaker cup filled with 8 - 10 oz. of water or your favorite beverage. Cover and shake for about 10 seconds to ensure a good mix. Take 1 to 3 times daily. Can be taken before meals or before and after exercise. Tip: Try adding BCAA Powder to your favorite protein powder, meal replacement product, or weight-gainer shake.

... product quality but I have experience the mixebility is terrible at all eve with the water and shaker
I don't know about the product quality but I have experience the mixebility is terrible at all eve with the water and shaker. Secondly, taste is ridiculously bad. And at last in display picture it says 100% pure in front but the one I received doesn't have that at all. Not sure I got the right product or not. I was used to talk unflavored BCAA from MusclePharm and wasn't taste that bad all and mixebility was excellent. But this product thumbs down.👎🏽
