Active Ingredients
BCAAs
Branched-chain amino acids, also known as BCAAs, are a subset of the essential amino acids which our body cannot make on its own.
What makes BCAAs special is that they’re the ones most important for muscle growth and repair.
They minimise muscle-breakdown by reducing stress hormone levels during exercise, and also reduce recovery time (1).
Glutamine
Glutamine is another amino acid which is known to improve muscle growth and recovery.
Although it may be beneficial on its own, research shows that it might not offer additional benefits when taken alongside other muscle-sparing amino acids (2).
L-Carnitine-L-Tartrate
Carnitine is often used for its fat-burning properties.
This form, however has been shown to also improve physical performance, via increased power output (3).
A dose of 1-4g does this best.
Who Takes It?
Athletes wanting to preserve muscle mass or improve recovery time will enjoy using Vindicate.
How to Take
Mix 1 scoop (8g) with 250mL water, and consume between meals or after your workout.
You may take multiple servings per day.

Conclusion
Vindicate is an amino-acid supplement which reaches slightly further the rest of the pack, offering extra ingredients such as a vitamin complex and L-carnitine-L-tartrate.
Although this may give it a slight edge over the competition, for the most part it’s a standard BCAA and glutamine supplement.
It will provide a small boost for muscle-sparing and recovery effects.
