PRO BCAA Raspberry Lemonade
ON Optimum Nutrition
Overview
This product provides a combination of BCAAs, glutamine, and vitamin C to support muscle recovery, and immune function. While the BCAAs and glutamine are dosed at effective amounts, the benefit of the phytoblend cannot be determined due to its proprietary nature and thus is not accounted for in the efficacy score. The 2:1:1 BCAA ratio supports muscle recovery and the vitamin C is dosed in a range that may reduce cold duration, but more evidence needs to be provided regarding the efficacy of the proprietary blend.
The Good
Contains 8g of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio which is beneficial for muscle recovery and reducing soreness after intense workouts.
Includes 5g of L-glutamine per serving which is beneficial for post-exercise recovery and gut health.
Provides a substantial dose of Vitamin C (230mg) which may be effective in reducing the duration of cold symptoms.
The Bad
Proprietary phytoblend makes it impossible to assess the dosage of individual ingredients.
Contains artificial flavors and sweeteners.
Sodium content may be concerning for some individuals with blood pressure issues.
Is it for you?
