About the Product
Amix BCAA Drink is a functional, ready-to-drink carbonated beverage, presented in a 250 ml can with a tropical flavour. The formula combines BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio — L-Leucine 0.3% (750 mg/can), L-Isoleucine 0.15% (375 mg/can), and L-Valine 0.15% (375 mg/can) — with Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 at 20% of the Nutrient Reference Values per 100 ml, and Turmeric as a natural colourant. No added sugars, sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame-K. An extremely convenient intra or post-workout format, ready to drink directly from the can, with no preparation or shaker required.
Benefits
BCAAs 2:1:1 for protein synthesis and anti-catabolism: The branched-chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are three of the nine essential amino acids that the human body cannot synthesise endogenously. In skeletal muscle, BCAAs are oxidised directly as an energy substrate during exercise and play a central role in regulating muscle protein synthesis. L-Leucine is the primary activator of the mTORC1 complex, the intracellular regulator of protein synthesis, acting as a molecular signal that triggers the anabolic process even in the absence of insulin. The 2:1:1 ratio, with a higher relative concentration of L-Leucine, reflects its predominant role and is the ratio with the strongest clinical evidence in sports nutrition. During intense exercise or in calorie deficit contexts, BCAA supplementation reduces muscle protein degradation (catabolism) and preserves lean mass, especially during long-duration or fasted training.
Vitamins B6 and B12 for energy metabolism and nervous system support: B6 (pyridoxine) is an essential cofactor in amino acid metabolism — including BCAAs themselves — and in neurotransmitter synthesis, while B12 (cyanocobalamin) is indispensable for neurological function and red blood cell production. Their inclusion in the formula complements the anabolic effect of BCAAs with support for normal energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, as recognised by EFSA.
Turmeric as a natural antioxidant: Turmeric extract, used as a natural colourant in the formula, provides curcuminoids with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties relevant in a sports context, contributing to cellular protection against oxidative stress generated by intense exercise and to the reduction of post-exercise muscle inflammation.
Sugar-free, ready-to-drink, in a can: BCAA Drink combines the functionality of a BCAA supplement with the absolute convenience of a ready-to-drink beverage, with no need for preparation, weighing, or a shaker. The sugar-free profile and low calorie intake make it compatible with any dietary plan, including cutting phases and calorie-restricted diets.
Uses
Intra-workout: Consume 1 can (250 ml) during the training session, especially during high-volume strength training, long-duration cardio sessions, or any fasted training, to mitigate muscle catabolism and provide essential amino acids immediately.
Immediate post-workout: Consume within the first few minutes after training for rapid muscle recovery support, especially when the post-workout protein meal is delayed.
As a functional drink: Consume at any time of day as a sugar-free alternative to juices or soft drinks, benefiting from the BCAA and B6 and B12 vitamin intake.
