Diet / Allergen fit
Contains: Soy (lecithin).
Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR pathway in muscle cells, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis after exercise or between meals.
Caution: May be less useful if daily protein intake is already high; individuals limiting protein or on restricted diets should consider total amino acid intake.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscles during exercise and may support energy production and protein turnover.
Caution: High single-amino-acid intake can compete with other amino acids for transport; balance with overall protein sources.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that may help fuel working muscles and support muscle protein balance.
Caution: Excess free-form amino acids on an empty stomach may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people.
Sodium
Sodium helps maintain fluid balance and supports nerve signaling and muscle contraction during activity.
Caution: Those limiting sodium intake should factor this amount into daily totals.
How they work together
Leucine drives muscle protein synthesis, while isoleucine and valine complement it by supporting energy use and overall amino acid balance in muscle. Sodium contributes to fluid and nerve function, which can be relevant around workouts.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: Not for use by those with pre-existing medical conditions, those taking any medications, or those under 18.
Who should be cautious: People with soy allergy should be cautious due to soy (lecithin) content.
