What is in a 12.3 g scoop
Each scoop carries 7,200 mg of ten instantized amino acids. Five grams of that is BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio: 2,500 mg of L-leucine and 1,250 mg each of L-isoleucine and L-valine. The other 2,200 mg covers threonine, lysine, phenylalanine, arginine, methionine, tryptophan and histidine; the full amounts are in the ingredients tab.
A further 1,000 mg is what PVL calls workout factors: taurine 500 mg, L-tyrosine 300 mg, lion's mane fruiting body extract 150 mg and eleuthero root extract 50 mg. Counting taurine and tyrosine, the aminos come to the 8 g printed on the front. The scoop also has five B vitamins (thiamine, niacinamide, vitamin B6, folate and vitamin B12) and 5 mg of BioPerine black pepper extract. Carbohydrate and sugars are both 0 g.
Tropical Punch is a fruit punch flavour sweetened with sucralose and purified stevia leaf extract and coloured with red beet powder. It is made in a facility that also handles milk, soy and fish (collagen).
How to take it
The label directions are for adults: mix one serving with 250 to 500 mL (about 1 to 2 cups) of cold water, once daily, and drink enough fluid before, during and after exercise. Read the full cautions in the directions tab before your first serving; they include asking a doctor first for use beyond one month, in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with other medications.
How it compares with other PVL products
PVL Natural Series 100% Pure BCAA gives 6 g of fermented BCAAs per scoop and nothing else. EAA Complete+ has a little less BCAA per scoop, 5 g, but adds the other six essential aminos, taurine, tyrosine, B vitamins and two botanical extracts. Pick the BCAA tub for a simple leucine-led drink; pick EAA Complete+ for all nine in one scoop.
Who it suits
Adults who train and want a flavoured drink with every essential amino acid and no sugar or carbs, and people who find a protein shake too heavy during a session. At one scoop a day, the 30 servings last a month.
