Unflavoured amino acid supplements aren’t for faint hearted. Have you tried unflavoured BCAA Powder?<\/p>\n
They certainly have their place in your supplement arsenal, especially when you’re mixing them into protein shakes and smoothies. But on their own, the taste of some can be described as a little unpleasant.<\/p>\n
Instant BCAA, our best selling branched chain amino acid powder, is available in four delicious flavours as well as unflavoured – Cola, Apple & Lime, Mixed Berry and Tropical. You’d find it hard to believe it’s the same product as the unflavoured version as the taste is completely masked. BCAAs<\/a> are the amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine and one of the best supplements for muscle gain<\/a>.<\/p>\n A couple of months ago we launched flavoured Creatine Monohydrate<\/a> and flavoured Glutamine Powder<\/a> in Mixed Berry and Apple & Lime. Many customers like to add the unflavoured versions into their protein shake but here we give you the option to enjoy the benefits of both just by adding water.<\/p>\n You can now buy flavoured Leucine <\/a>(Instant) in Mixed Berry and Apple & Lime flavours. We’ve started with these flavours because they’ve been so well received for Instant BCAA, Creatine Monohydrate and Glutamine.<\/p>\n Instant Leucine is an improved form of Leucine. It has gone through a patented micro-encapsulation process which allows for a rapid dispersion and solubility in water. This means, unlike many other sources of Leucine, it has an almost neutral taste without any foaming or insolubility when mixed.<\/p>\n Research has shown that Leucine plays a vital role in the stimulation of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway. Leucine also contributes to the growth and maintenance in muscle mass for anyone taking part in physical exercise.<\/p>\n At Bulk\u2122<\/strong>, you can buy Leucine supplements in three forms – Leucine Tablets, Leucine Powder and Instant Leucine Powder. We also have many products with Leucine in the ingredients list (see below).<\/p>\n Many of our COMPLETE SERIES\u2122 formulas include Leucine. Here are five examples we’ve picked out.<\/p>\n 3g added pharmaceutical grade L-Leucine alongside Micellar Casein, HMB, Tryptophan, Theanine and Lysine. A slow release protein shake before bed with carefully selected ingredients at optimal dosages to aid sleep and muscular recovery. Most ‘bedtime protein’ formulas are slow release protein blends without these additional ingredients (or just a couple of them).<\/p>\n 3:1:1 BCAA with 3g Leucine (instantised). A very well dosed caffeine free pre-workout formula. See how it compares to My Protein\u2122 Impact Pump Blend<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3g Leucine (instantised) per serving alongside Waxy Maize Starch, Whey Protein Isolate, L-Glutamine, Tart Cherry Extract, HMB, Acetyl L-Carnitine, Vitamin C and Vitamin B6. An excellent recovery formula, especially for those of you training for endurance outside of the gym.<\/p>\n 10g BCAA including a massive 6g Leucine alongside L-Glutamine and Citrulline Malate in 2:1:1 form. Complete Intra-Workout has an impressive 15.5g active ingredients per 20g serving.<\/p>\n An extremely well dosed amino energy drink with BCAA in a 3:1:1 ratio (3g instantised Leucine) alongside L-Glutamine, Green Coffee Extract and Guarana. The formula is better dosed than Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy<\/a>.<\/p>\n INFORMED WHEY\u00ae has 5g pharmaceutical grade Leucine per serving as well as 81% protein (24g per serving), added Glutamine Peptides, added DigeZyme\u00ae and added Lactospore\u00ae (probiotics). In comparison, Maximuscle Promax, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey, Reflex Instant Whey\u2122, BSN\u00ae Syntha 6 and My Protein\u2122 True Whey don’t have added Leucine in their formulas.<\/p>\n Our PRO SERIES\u2122 protein blend TRI-PRO\u2122 has 3g pharmaceutical grade Leucine per serving as well as 80% protein (24g per serving), added Glutamine Peptides, added DigeZyme\u00ae and added Lactospore\u00ae (probiotics).<\/p>\n A premium all in one protein shake, ideally suited post workout. With a massive 40g protein per serving, you’ll also get 3g pharmaceutical grade Leucine per serving, Creapure\u00ae, HMB, Glutamine Peptides and Vitargo\u00ae, the “world’s most effective sports carbohydrate”.<\/p>\n A premium BCAA formula in an 8:1:1 ratio. With 18g amino acids per serving including 10g BCAA, this is unrivalled in sports nutrition.<\/p>\n INFORMED BCAA\u2122 has three forms of Leucine – Leucine Nitrate (1.5g), Instantised Leucine (3g) & Leucine Ethyl Ester (1.5g).<\/p>\n With the further addition of BCAA Nitrates, Instantised BCAA, Arginine Nitrate, Glutamine, Alanine and Glycine, you’re guaranteed an amazing pump with every workout.<\/p>\n Maximising Anabolic Potential<\/a><\/p>\n Looking to learn more?
