SarcoSelect EAA Chocolate
Moss Nutrition
Overview
SarcoSelect EAA Chocolate aims to support muscle health and overall wellness through a blend of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds. However, the use of a proprietary blend for EAAs and the low protein content make it difficult to fully evaluate its effectiveness for muscle protein synthesis. Many other beneficial ingredients are also likely underdosed. While some ingredients may offer individual benefits, the overall effectiveness of the product is questionable.
The Good
Provides Essential Amino Acids: Contains a blend of essential amino acids necessary for muscle protein synthesis and overall health.
Good Source of Many B Vitamins: Provides a high percentage of the Daily Value for several B vitamins, which are important for energy production and cellular function.
Includes Golden Flaxseed Powder: Contains flaxseed powder, a good source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health.
The Bad
Proprietary EAA Blend: The exact amounts of each EAA are not disclosed, making it impossible to assess if individual amino acids are adequately dosed for muscle protein synthesis.
High Carbohydrate Content: Contains 9g total carbohydrates and 3g tapioca maltodextrin per serving, potentially unsuitable for individuals following strict low-carb diets.
Risk of Gastrointestinal Discomfort: Contains inulin and isomalto oligosaccharide mixture which can cause bloating, gas, and discomfort in some individuals.
Is it for you?
Best For: Athletes, individuals seeking muscle recovery, those with dietary protein deficiencies
