Precision BCAA Blue Raspberry Lemonade
GNC Beyond Raw
Overview
This product aims to enhance muscle recovery, power output, and reduce inflammation post-workout using a blend of BCAAs, betaine, and velositol. The inclusion of clinically-backed ingredients like Velositol is a strength, but the proprietary blend 'Power & Inflammatory Response' makes it hard to assess the efficacy of included ingredients. The 10g dose of BCAAs per serving has substantial evidence to support its inclusion.
The Good
Contains a clinical dose of Velositol to improve protein synthesis.
Includes a well-dosed 10g serving of BCAAs, broken into the ideal 2:1:1 ratio.
Betaine supplementation may improve power and performance output.
The Bad
Contains artificial flavors and sweeteners.
Proprietary blend (Power & Inflammatory Response) makes it difficult to asses individual ingredient dosages.
Includes a very high dose of chromium (1000mcg) at 2857% DV.
