BCAA Amino Acids, BCAA, Biotus, Grapefruit Flavor, 300 g

About the product

Workouts bring results, but does muscle fatigue ever set in before you can complete your final set or run your planned distance? If you feel exhausted the entire next day after the gym, your body simply doesn't have time to replenish its resources. BCAA from Biotus Sport was created to provide reliable support in achieving your athletic goals. The combination of essential amino acids and vitamin B6 is aimed at supporting muscle tissue, stimulating its recovery, and significantly increasing energy during prolonged exercise. This supplement contains the classic ratio of branched-chain amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine) - 2:1:1. Thanks to its powder form and refreshing grapefruit taste, it is easily absorbed and will maintain water balance, turning ordinary water into a functional drink for athletes and active lifestyle enthusiasts.

• Release form: powder 300 g.
• Recommended daily serving: 5 g (one teaspoon).
• Recommended age: from 18 years.

Why take

• Maintain muscle mass and protect against destruction— leucine acts as a key activator of protein synthesis, which will protect muscles from destruction even under conditions of intense cardio or deficiency calories.
• Accelerated recovery — BCAA minimizes the level of muscle fiber damage after exercise. This promotes rapid recovery and significantly reduces the intensity of muscle pain (delayed onset muscle soreness).
• Increased endurance — additional intake of amino acids provides muscles with an alternative energy source, which helps delay the onset of fatigue and avoid energy depletion during prolonged exercise.
• Optimization of energy metabolism — thanks to vitamin B6, amino acids are absorbed as completely as possible, supporting the nervous system under conditions of high physical and psycho-emotional stress.

Instructions for use

Amount per day:  5 g (1 teaspoon) per day.

When to take: Mix 1 serving (one teaspoon) with 400 ml of water, consume 30-40 minutes before training, during training or immediately after its completion.

Works better with:

• Creatine -to increase strength and hydration of muscle cells.

• L-Glutamine -to maximize immunity and protect muscles from overtraining.

• Isotonics -if the training is long, this will support electrolyte balance. balance.

Combinations with should be avoided:

• Other large amino acids — BCAAs can compete with tryptophan and tyrosine for transport systems, which sometimes affects serotonin levels.
• Calcium — high doses of amino acids can reduce calcium absorption, so it is worth taking a break of 1.5–2 hours between taking them.
• Iron — joint use is undesirable, since amino acids can compete with iron for absorption in the intestine.

Storage conditions: store in the manufacturer's packaging, in a dry, dark place, at a temperature of 0°C to 25°C and at a relative humidity of no more than 75%, keep out of reach of children. Close the lid tightly after each use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is vitamin B6 included?

Vitamin B6 is an important coenzyme involved in protein metabolism. It is necessary for the delivery of amino acids directly to muscles and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, which is especially important with a busy lifestyle.

Will these amino acids help with weight loss?

BCAAs are often used during dieting, as they allow the body to use fat stores as an energy source while preserving muscle tissue. This will help you get a toned body, not just lower your body fat.

Why was the 2:1:1 ratio chosen?

This is the natural ratio of amino acids in human muscles. Leucine is twice as much, as it is essential for muscle growth, while isoleucine and valine supply energy and promote recovery. This ratio is considered the gold standard in sports nutrition.

Does taking BCAAs affect sleep quality if you train late in the evening?

Since BCAAs compete with tryptophan for entry into the brain, this can temporarily reduce melatonin production. If your nervous system is hypersensitive, it's recommended to take the supplement directly during exercise so that your amino acid levels stabilize by the time you rest.

Can you take BCAA on an empty stomach before morning cardio?

Yes, this is one effective way to protect your muscles from damage during exercise with low blood sugar. Free-form amino acids allow them to immediately enter the bloodstream, supporting muscle fibers without the burden of digestion.

Research on the benefits

The effect of BCAA on muscle soreness (DOMS). Studies have shown that consumption of branched-chain amino acids significantly reduces the sensation of muscle soreness after eccentric exercise compared to the placebo group.

The role of leucine in the activation of the mTOR pathway. Scientific reviews confirm that leucine is critical for the activation of the mTOR protein complex, which is directly responsible for the growth and repair of muscle fibers.
