Original BCAA 2:1:1 Apple Jacked
Bucked Up
Overview
This BCAA supplement provides a standard 2:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, along with electrolytes from coconut water and Himalayan rock salt. While BCAAs can support muscle protein synthesis and recovery, their effectiveness is maximized when taken in conjunction with other essential amino acids. The dose of leucine (3g) is adequate to stimulate muscle protein synthesis. The added electrolytes may contribute to hydration, but the mineral content is relatively low. This supplement is likely most effective for individuals seeking a convenient way to support muscle recovery and hydration during exercise, although a complete protein source may offer more comprehensive benefits.
