What is in one 13 g scoop
Beside the 8 g of BCAAs, the Canadian panel lists glycine at 900 mg, L-glutamine at 500 mg and L-alanine at 300 mg, which brings the amino acids to 9.7 g per scoop. Magnesium adds 63 mg from Albion magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide, and piperine adds 4.75 mg from 5 mg of BioPerine black pepper fruit extract.
The non-medicinal list carries the flavour and the minerals that give the drink its salty-sour finish: citric acid, malic acid, sodium citrate, sea salt, potassium citrate, calcium carbonate and tricalcium phosphate, then MCT oil from coconut, sucralose, silicon dioxide, sunflower lecithin, natural flavours and colours from beta-carotene and red beet powder.
Where the BCAAs come from
The side panel describes the amino acids as 100% fermented and vegan, instantized so they mix without clumping, with 0 g of carbs and sugar and no synthetic colours. There is no caffeine on either ingredient list, so a scoop can go in a bottle for an evening session.
Peach flavour
Peach is a light, sweet stone-fruit flavour with a tart edge from the citric and malic acid. Sucralose is the only sweetener, and the orange tint comes from beta-carotene and beet.
How to take it
Adults 19 years and over take 1 scoop once a day. Mix it in enough liquid, about 1 to 2 cups, to make it drinkable, and drink it right away. Drink plenty of fluid before, during and after exercise. Consult a health care practitioner for use beyond 12 weeks, or before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or take other medications or natural health products, since black pepper and piperine may change how they work. At one scoop a day the tub lasts 30 days.
The tub is packed by weight, so the powder settles after filling. A desiccant packet inside keeps it dry; do not eat it.
