Branched-Chain Amino Acids supplements

Intra workout amino acids are a great way to support your fitness goals.

Around a third of the protein in your muscles is made up of Branch Chained Amino Acids (BCAAs), which are not produced by the body and therefore must be consumed through your diet.

BCAA intra workout supplements get straight to work in your muscles and do not need to be processed in the same way that other essential acids might and therefore can help to maintain and build muscle efficiently.

PE Nutrition Performance BCAA Powder Strawberry & Watermelon is an essential amino acid complex, which helps to grow your workout potential.

This refreshing drink has a fruity strawberry and watermelon flavour and provides 5g of BCAAs per 6g serving, with an industry standard ratio of 2:1:1 with amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine.

PE Nutrition Performance BCAA Powder is also available in Fruit Punch flavour.
