BCAAs are considered essential in that they are not produced by the body and must be obtained through our diet. If they are not present in our diet, we would be unable to survive. BCAAs comprise about 1/3 of the protein within our muscles.
BCAA can be found naturally in the diet; foods richest in Branched Chain Amino Acids are red meat and dairy products. BCAA are found in every protein-containing food. For example, BULK POWDERS® Pure Whey Protein™ contains Branched Chain Amino Acids.
BULK POWDERS® Instant BCAA is extremely popular due to its amazing taste and mixability.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is instantised BCAA?
Instantised BCAA (or Instant BCAA) are a combination of the essential amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine which have been spray dried onto an instantising agent (such as Soya Lecithin or Sunflower Lecithin) to improve the BCAA mixability. This makes the product a lot more user friendly, by reducing the amount the product foams and froths, whilst also ensuring all other ingredients (such as flavouring and colours) mix evenly throughout the product.
When should I take instantised BCAA powder?
It would be best to take Instant BCAA whilst you train, you can take them in a shaker to the gym with you are sip on them in-between sets and exercises. Instant BCAA can also be used before you train.
Instant BCAAs can also be used effectively throughout the day. Consuming 1-2 servings throughout the day, will provide your muscles with a constant supply of amino acids.
Can I add BCAA powder to protein shakes?
Protein Shakes such as Whey Protein are already a natural source of BCAA, however, you can effectively add BCAA to the protein shake. Other sources of protein, for example vegan protein sources (Pea, Brown Rice, Hemp Protein) do not provide as much BCAA as whey protein, therefore it may be of benefit to add BCAA to your Vegan Protein Shake in order to increase the BCAA content of your diet.

Directions
Usage
Mix 1 scoop (10g) with 500ml cold water. Instant BCAA is most commonly used before, during and after exercise, as well at other times of the day.
Some users like to 'mega-dose' BCAA by sipping on them throughout the day. Simply add Instant BCAA to a beverage of your choice and consume at regular intervals.
Synergists
There are no direct synergists of BCAA, however intra-workout they can be combined with Citrulline Malate for optimal performance. After a tough workout you may want to combine Instant BCAA with a fast-acting carbohydrate source such as Vitargo or Waxy Maize Starch; either of these will help shuttle BCAA to your muscle cells faster than if supplementing with BCAA as a standalone product.
