BCAA 4:1:1

BCAA stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids. It includes three essential amino acids that our bodies cannot synthesise and therefore we must get them from our diet. They include, Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. Our BCAA powder is made up of these amino acids in the ratio 4:1:1.

BCAAs are the building blocks of muscle. BCAAs are especially important for those who exercise as they help to rebuild and repair muscles.

BCAAs can be consumed at any time throughout the day. You might find drinking BCAAs during your workout a tasty way to stay hydrated. One serving per day is recommended.

True BCAA 4:1:1 contains BCAAs from Japan which are produced from vegetable-based fermentation as opposed to inferior animal-based extraction techniques that are common in China.

Japanese BCAA's are manufactured in a very different way to regular BCAA's and are completely different in terms of appearance, taste, density and texture. Through the patented Ferment-A-Pure Technology these Japanese sourced BCAA's deliver the purest non-GMO form of amino acids available in the market. Ajinomoto amino acids are so pure that they are often used for pharmaceutical and clinical research. While the price is higher than the more common Chinese BCAA's that are widespread in the market, the quality difference is significant. True Protein strongly recommends our Japanese sourced BCAA's as the best option in the market for your BCAA requirements.

Yes, amino acids are simply the individual building blocks of protein itself. Protein comes from various sources such as meats, whole grain carbohydrates and many vegetables. While amino acid profiles will vary in different foods, the actual amino acids are generic whether it comes from an animal or vegetable source. Many vegetarians and vegans may struggle to get adequate amino acids due to their dietary options and by having amino acids in supplement form, optimal levels can be guaranteed regardless of any restrictions faced when choosing wholefoods. Our Japanese sourced BCAA 4:1:1 is extracted from solely vegetable based raw materials making it the cleanest and purest end product in the market. Many Chinese BCAA products are extracted from raw materials of animal origin like horse hair or duck feathers.

True Protein's range of Japanese sourced amino acids represents the highest standard in the field of amino acids. The manufacturer is considered a world leader in the field of amino acids and is regularly chosen for advanced scientific and clinical trials.

All our Ajinomoto amino acids are certified soy free.
