Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates mTOR signaling, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery from exercise.
Caution: High doses on an empty stomach may cause stomach upset; take with water and monitor tolerance.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine serves as an energy source during exercise and contributes to muscle protein synthesis and glucose utilization.
Caution: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort in some people; start with the suggested serving to assess tolerance.
L-Valine
Valine is used by muscles for energy and contributes to protein building and nitrogen balance.
Caution: Excessive intake without adequate overall protein may be unbalanced; follow the labeled serving.
L-Lysine HCl
Lysine is required for building proteins and supports carnitine formation, which helps the body use fats for energy.
Caution: May cause minor digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals; take with water.
L-Threonine
Threonine is a structural amino acid for muscle and connective tissues and supports protein turnover.
Caution: Those monitoring total protein intake should account for amino acids from supplements and diet.
How they work together
The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine supply direct substrates for muscle protein synthesis and exercise energy needs. Lysine and threonine round out the essential amino acid profile to support complete protein building.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For healthy adults 18 years and older. Consult a healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition.
Who should be cautious: People sensitive to phenylalanine or on medications that affect serotonin may need caution due to the inclusion of L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine. Consult a healthcare provider before combining with medications that may interact.
