Active Ingredients

Amino Acids (BCAAs and EAAs)

Branched chain amino acids, known more commonly as BCAAs, are amino acids which are vital to muscle recovery and growth.

They’ve been shown to prevent the breakdown of muscle during intense exercise, and reduce recovery time (1).

BCAAs are also a part of a larger group of amino acids called “essential” amino acids, or EAAs.

Essential amino acids are amino acids that cannot be made by the human body, and need to be obtained from diet.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are important minerals which are lost via sweating during exercise.

Supplementing with electrolytes can improve rehydration, as well as endurance and recovery (2).

Who Takes It?

Athletes wanting a supplement which will preserve muscle mass during workouts, and improve growth and recovery will enjoy using Hydro BCAA.

Mix 1 scoop (14.5g) with 250mL water, and consume before, during, or after your workout.

Conclusion

Hydro BCAA is an amino acid product which contains an excellent dose of amino acids, with a small dose of electrolytes to improve rehydration and recovery.

It contains all of the essential amino acids, but contains extra amounts of those which are most important for muscle development (the BCAAs). This should be more than adequate for reducing muscle breakdown during your workouts.

Although it doesn’t offer much more than other amino acid products on the market, it does come in a huge range of flavours, which you’ll never get bored of.
