Product description

2.5 g L-Leucine 1.25 g L-Isoleucine 1.25 g L-Valine 60 Servings 5 g Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplement True StrengthThe True Strength of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are commonly grouped together and referred to as Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, because of their unique branched chemical structure. BCAAs are essential, meaning that they must be consumed through the diet, since the human body cannot make them from other compounds. BCAAs have long been used by strength-training and endurance athletes alike to support protein synthesis and recovery from intense training. Our Instantized BCAA 5000 Powder is made using a proprietary process that mixes easily and keeps the BCAAs suspended longer so they do not readily settle to the bottom of the glass. Because if you can't drink your BCAAs, they can't help your performance.

• Dietary supplement
• Easy mixing formula
• Blend of the three branched chain amino acids

User questions & answers

Question:	Is one serving actually enough? I heard you need 10g of BCAA before workout. One serving only has 1g
Answer:	2.5 grams of leucine is the proven amount needed to trigger protein synthesis. That's 5g total or 10 pills. I'm not sure why the doses on these are so small but I figure if an 80 pound asian girl needs 2.5g of leucine then going with more BCAAs would probably serve you better. That's an insane amount of pills but this is to avoid using the powder that stinks and tastes awful. Obi Obadike recommends 10g of BCAA pre and post Workout. 20g of BCAAs is 40 pills!
Question:	Is this BCAA Lactose free
Answer:	Yes it is, no problems what so ever just make sure you drink enough water when taking them so they end up in your stomach if not you might burp and might taste the BCAA powder :) hope this helps!
Question:	My canister was sealed, but the canister was only half full of powder. Is that normal
Answer:	Yes. It's normal. I am currently enjoying your second half as we speak. I would weigh the container as it's the only true way of knowing if you got shorted.
Question:	Are these expensive pills an improvement over drinking milk
Answer:	Hahahaha! "I don't drink milk, it's for babies" - Arnold Schwarzenegger

User questions & answers

Question:	How many ounces of water does this need to be mixed with
Answer:	8-12oz depending on your taste preference
Question:	So I saw a concern posted about acesulfame which is mentions as a carcinogen. Why hasn’t manufacturer Nutrabolt responded to that
Answer:	I think most products contain things we think is safe but are actually carcinogenic to some degree. The best answer i can give is use these products sparingly. All good things in moderation because at the end of the day if you bombard your body with carcinogenic things, you will be at higher risk for cancer. Most man made things will hold some degree of carcinogenic properties. Even alcohol is actually poison, which is why you feel drunk when you drink too much. Yet, we still drink it
Question:	Does this contain splenda
Answer:	No, this product does not contain Splenda.
Question:	is this caffeine free
Answer:	There is no caffeine or “energy blend” in this product. Just hydrating properties.

Muscle Building Support

BCAAs not only support muscle growth, they also help you maintain the muscle you already have. BCAAs are essential amino acids, which means your body doesn’t produce them on your own. Therefore, you have to get them via supplementation.

Diet Support

Best BCAA also contains CLA. When combined with a proper diet and exercise, CLA may help prevent fat storage, encouraging the body to burn it instead.

Performance

BCAAs are used as an energy source in your muscles. Studies have found that participants who took BCAAs before a workout experienced increased strength and endurance compared to those who took a placebo.

• Help build muscle strength and endurance*
• Assist with muscle recovery*
• Help maintain healthy blood sugar levels*
• Help maintain weight*

User questions & answers

Question:	How many servings are in the 250 and 100g packages
Answer:	It depends how many grams of bcaa you take per serving. I don't eat them in the normal bro-science fashion, but the popular bro-science states 5g bcaa pre- post- and maybe even intra-workout, and if you follow that bro-science, 100g has 20 servings (100/5). The 250 package has 50 servings (250/5).
Question:	Where are these supplements made? Has anyone tested the quality of these powders? And I am speaking of all bulksupplements products
Answer:	See Labdoor:https://labdoor.com/review/bulk-supplements-branch-chain-amino-acids-bcaa-2-1-1
Question:	Anybody know where is this product made? (Made, not distributed
Answer:	I wondered the same thing, as I will not knowingly ingest anything from China. WAY too risky. In reading the reviews, I found the answer. If you click on the 1 star reviews, so that it shows you ONLY those, and scroll down to the review by Gary Joseph, dated August 2014, he says he called the company and asked that question. ANSWER: CHINA. It seems many of their products are from China, which I guess explains the good prices. I'll grit my teeth and pay higher prices and stay away from supplements from China.
Question:	In which country is this product manufactured in
Answer:	The country of origin is China ... packaging & distribution is handled by Bulk Supplements ("BS") in Nevada, which will provide a copy of the Analysis Report on request (use chat room on co's website to request). However, it should be noted that the Analysis Reports are questionable, since the bottom of each report explicitly states the Analysis can be conducted by the supplier ... which would definitely be self serving. When questioned, the company was unable (or unwilling) to identify exactly where the Analysis in the report was conducted, and by whom. Very disappointing.

What Are BCAAs?

BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) are essential amino acids that have a chemical structure which separates them from the rest of the essential amino acid family. They make up 40% of total body protein content and represent around 15 to 25 percent of total protein intake overall.

This BCAA powder is at a ratio of 2:1:1 of leucine, isoleucine, and valine and is derived from corn.

BCAA Benefits

BCAA powder is commonly taken by athletes and body builders as muscle-building and endurance supplements. BCAA powder may work with protein to help build strength, assist with muscle recovery after strenuous workouts, and promote muscle endurance.*

Answer:	20cc

Answer:	It is more difficult to create Naturally sweetened and flavored supplements, but I can say from experience that I've been using the Orange Passion Fruit flavor of this since starting a Keto diet trying to avoid Sucrose and have been happy with the flavor. I have not tried Blueberry Lemonade but I highly recommend you give some consideration to Orange Passion Fruit.

Answer:	I don't know. All you can do is try it.

BCAAs And The Body

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, and therefore, the building blocks of lean muscle.* Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) refer to three specific amino acids - Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine - that the body must obtain from either food or BCAA supplementation.

BCAAs And Exercise

BCAAs can be used by muscle cells as an energy source, which may help offset muscle breakdown during endurance exercise and help support recovery and repair after weight training.* As a result, BCAAs are a popular and relevant supplement among those who exercise regularly*.
