Ingredient-by-Ingredient Breakdown + Synergy

L-Leucine: An essential branched-chain amino acid commonly used in sports nutrition to support muscle protein synthesis and post-exercise recovery. The label lists a typical amount of 1,170–1,400 mg per 4-capsule serving.

L-Isoleucine: An essential amino acid involved in exercise fuel support and recovery. The label lists a typical amount of 570–700 mg per 4-capsule serving.

L-Valine: An essential amino acid that works with leucine and isoleucine to support muscle tissue maintenance and recovery. The label lists a typical amount of 570–700 mg per 4-capsule serving.

Hypromellose: A cellulose-based vegan capsule material used to deliver the amino acid blend without gelatin.

Stearic Acid: A vegetable-source ingredient used as a manufacturing aid to help maintain capsule consistency and production flow.

Sunflower Lecithin: Used to support even blending and ingredient consistency within the capsule formula.

Formulation Synergy: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are combined because they form the complete BCAA group. The typical 2:1:1 ratio emphasizes leucine while still providing balanced isoleucine and valine support. Together, these amino acids help support muscle protein synthesis, exercise recovery, muscle fuel during intense activity, and maintenance of existing muscle tissue.
