What is BCAA 2:1:1 Powder?
Sourced using only premium grade ingredients, this BCAA 2:1:1 powder contains the optimal balance of leucine, isoleucine and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio.
Also known as Branch Chain Amino Acids made up from Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, they make up a unique premium blend of amino acids all in one convenient pouch. BCAA’s are commonly found in different forms of blends depending on which amino acid is more present than others. BCAA’s are building blocks of protein and muscle, helping them to recover and repair after physical activities.
When exercising, your body can often go into a catabolic state, meaning that you start to use and break down tissue such as fats and muscle to produce energy for muscle contractions. Although this may sound good that your body is using unwanted fat, in fact, it can be the complete opposite and you can begin to lose muscle as your body breaks down proteins instead as an energy source. Unfortunately, you can't stop protein breakdown, however by increasing the rate of protein synthesis compared to protein breakdown helps to build muscle and reduce that dreaded muscle loss.
Essentially - that feeling, the day after leg day, and you're struggling to do the simple things in life. Your legs haven't recovered and now you're suffering the consequences. Surely for hitting a PB, you don't deserve this? Well, unfortunately, that’s what happens when you don't consume your BCAA’s!
What's in BCAA 2:1:1 Powder
Unique Amino Acid Blend
Overall BCAA’s help provide the body with a supply of amino acids. As this unique blend combines 3 main amino acids, it can be difficult to understand is in our BCAA powder the Amino Acids contained within are:
Leucine
Isoleucine
Valine
Our BCAA's are instantised so they dissolve easily in water and are available in a range of refreshing flavours including our brand new flavour Blue Raspberry Juice. We even offer unflavoured for you to supercharge your protein shake.
It's said that sipping on BCAAs during a workout can help delay onset fatigue and give you that mental and physical boost during your workout. Maintaining high levels of BCAA throughout the day is essential to stop your body from using muscle protein as fuel, and use fat stores instead. Working out increase muscle stress, giving your body the additional amino acids before and after will reduce tiredness and help you push through any pain. We recommend that you take BCAA 2:1:1 30-45 minutes prior to working out to allow your body to absorb and direct them to your muscles.

Helps with DOMS
I've just finished my first packet of TPW BCAA powder, and I definitely notcied a difference in DOMS, however, I drank it before my workout as recommended and I didn't feel more energy than usual, also tried taking it after my runs and that's what helped DOMS. I tried the Berry Blitz flavour and found it very sweet and found it pretty hard to drink after my runs due to how sweet it was, I then put it in smoothies and then was able to drink it fine.Blue Raspberry mmm
The new flavour is great! I use it to give smoothies a bit of a kick!Fab
Very quick delivery and great product hoping no more doms or at least reducedSteady energy levels
Highly recommended, because it does the trick. Provides steady energy levels throughout the workout, you can do more and with better form. Does not have a "kick", but improves performance. No added caffeine, which is also a plus. Especially useful if you have low energy levels on a certain day, helps you get through the first few minutes and it's a breeze afterwards. Gets you those extra reps and reduces DOMS at the same time. Berry Blitz flavor is amazing, has a fresh taste that is not bitter at all. Green Apple Spike is way too bitter for me, but some might find it refreshing.Decent BCAA Supplement
This is one of the better branched chain amino acid supplements on the market due to it being instantised which allows for it to mix easily with cold water without foaming like the original BCAA supplements that i have used in the past and some of the cheaper bcaa based supplements that are available on most websites and stores, this uses the standard but effective 2:1:1 ratio of leucine to isoleucine and valine which works well to support an improvement in workout energy levels and endurance when 10 grams of this supplement is consumed prior to intense weight based workouts. This is also a great supplement to take prior to fasted cardio sessions to allow for the preservation of lean muscle mass whilst allowing for unwanted body fat stores to be burned off as the desired fuel source. I would recommend going for the Berry or Green Apple flavours as some of the nicest which work well to mask the bitterness of the raw amino acids, i do not recommend going for unflavoured due to how bitter and strong tasting it it which can make it harder to consume on a regular daily basis to support your goals for improving overall body composition.
