BCAA Drink

Less sugar, lots of flavor, more muscle power

This BCAA drink is a real power drink! Our BCAA powder contains three Branched Chain Amino Acids, which play an important role in the successful build-up of muscle mass. Specifically, these are the three amino acids L-isoleucine, L-leucine and L-valine. These essential amino acids owe their name to their special molecular structure.

L-isoleucine, L-leucine and L-valine have special functions for our body. Unlike most other amino acids, they are not first transported to the liver, which then decides what happens to them during further processing. Instead, they are transported directly to the muscles. This also explains what the Branched Chain Amino Acids are mainly used for. They are muscle amino acids, so to speak, which have the ideal effect as a drink before, during or after training to help you achieve your muscle building goals.

How L-isoleucine, L-leucine and L-valine help you build muscle

To better understand what is meant by amino acids for muscle building, you first need to understand how the human body builds muscle mass in the first place. Our muscles are made up of proteins. Proteins, in turn, are made up of amino acids. Protein structures are built up and broken down in our muscles every day. The process of protein synthesis is also known as protein biosynthesis. Only if protein synthesis at the end of the day is higher than the amount of protein that was broken down will there be an increase in protein structures in the muscle. And your body needs this gain to build muscle mass. This is where the Branched Chain Amino Acids, i.e. the branched-chain amino acids L-isoleucine, L-leucine and L-valine, come into play.

After training, protein synthesis in your body is increased - but only to a moderate extent. The branched-chain amino acids, especially the amino acid leucine, have a turbo effect on this process. If you combine your training with these amino acids, this leads to a strong increase in protein synthesis - far beyond the level that training or a portion of protein shake alone could have achieved. So if you want to build muscle, you need to train intensively, consume enough total calories and follow a high-protein diet with a sufficient proportion of branched-chain amino acids.

How to supplement your diet sensibly with our BCAA drink

The maximum stimulation of protein synthesis is achieved with a leucine intake of 3 g per serving and can be stimulated 3-4 times a day. You don't always have to take BCAA supplements in powder or tablet form to achieve this BCAA intake. However, it is highly recommended to supplement with a BCAA drink to enhance the quality of your diet, especially during training or meals that do not provide your body with a sufficient amount of protein. With our BCAA drink, it's quick, easy and full of delicious flavor! From fresh lemon-lime to sweet strawberry-vanilla, we have the right flavor for every taste and mood. This makes our BCAA drink the perfect regular pre-workout or post-workout meal.

The effect of BCAA on your diet

BCAA amino acids are not only helpful and useful for building muscle. These essential amino acids can also have a positive effect on your body during a diet. In the past, amino acids were even primarily recommended during a diet - as muscle protection. Here too, the BCAA effect is beneficial for you.

If we want to lose fat, we have to go into a calorie deficit. This means that our body has to burn more calories than it takes in. However, this also increases the risk of muscle loss. To compensate for the lack of energy intake, our body does not rely exclusively on fatty tissue, but also partly on our muscles. As our protein structures in the muscle consist primarily of BCAA, it is no wonder that these are broken down and used to generate energy.

So to prevent muscle loss, you should have enough BCAA in your body. BCAA are then a kind of muscle protection or muscle insurance. If you have enough of the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine in your bloodstream, your body does not have to take these building blocks from your muscles, but simply uses the amino acids that are already available.

In practice, this means that anyone who is in the process of reducing their body fat percentage can benefit from taking BCAAs before training. The more intensive the training sessions, the more effective the muscle protection provided by BCAA.

As far as the amount to be taken is concerned, the following applies: The optimum composition is a 2:1:1 dosage, i.e. twice as much leucine as valine and isoleucine per serving. Our BCAA drink provides you with 3.4 g of leucine per serving, which you can easily mix with 450 ml of water and consume daily before or during training.

More health thanks to BCAA

In addition to your sports and weight loss goals, our BCAA drink also helps you to improve your general health. The benefits of BCAAs are particularly great with increasing age. This is because the older we get, the more our sensitivity to increasing protein synthesis dulls. The same protein intake that had a maximum anabolic effect on our protein synthesis just a few years ago now only has a mild effect at best. This is also one of the reasons why we lose more and more muscle with age. We no longer stimulate our muscles as intensively and regularly as we did when we were younger, eat less protein overall and at the same time are no longer as sensitive to muscle growth and maintenance stimuli - a pretty devastating overall situation.

Prevention can be achieved by controlling the sensitivity to muscle protein synthesis with the concentration of BCAA supplementation. Put simply, your body needs a stronger stimulus to prevent this, which you can provide by taking BCAA. To do this, you can either consume a high concentration of protein with every meal or supplement your diet with BCAA powder. This will protect your muscles from breaking down as you get older and you may even be able to build up some muscles in old age. Because even then, the combination of training plus BCAA works wonders in terms of muscle building and your fitness.
