- Sparta Nutrition - Hydra8 BCAA 2:1:1 Branch Chain Amino Acids Powder 30 Servings Watermelon - 480 Grams (16.93 oz.) Sparta Nutrition HydraEight BCAA provides support for muscle growth, recovery, electrolytes and energy. An extremely popular category of sports nutrition products, Amino Acids have become a far-cry of their main purpose of supplementation: muscle growth and recovery. 120mg Caffeine 125mg Tasteless TeaCrine 8g BCAA Supplement companies now focus solely on flavoring and cut down on the amount of amino acids, mainly Leucine, in order to offer the best flavoring, quickly. Rather than spend months in R&D testing and crafting a flavor profile that doesn't have to skimp on quality, many just cut down on dosages and use run-of-the-mill flavors, such as fruit punch, to quickly launch their amino acid powder. At Sparta Nutrition, they've carefully crafted Hydra8 BCAA to be the leading choice when it comes to intra or post-workout nutrition for those looking to maximize their muscle recovery from intense, grueling training sessions. Perfect for endurance athletes, bodybuilders, and even CrossFit athletes, Hydra8 BCAA is an expertly dosed BCAA powder supplement combined with a unique energy complex designed to give you a much needed pick-me-up while you train and fatigue. Not only does Hydra8 BCAA offer BCAA's & an energy complex, it also contains L-Glutamine, a very well known conditionally essential amino acid that offers incredible synergy with BCAA's to even further maximize your recovery. Hydra8 BCAA: Energizing Amino Acid & Muscle Recovery Catalyst 8g of BCAA's The "8" in Hydra8 BCAA is for the total dosage of BCAA's you receive per serving. While most amino acid drinks use 5g of BCAA's, Hydra8 BCAA contains 8g of BCAA's in the clinically validated 2:1:1 ratio. Ignore that 4:1:1, 3:1:2, or 8:1:1 mumbo jumbo - it's all marketing hogwash that isn't validated by a scientific trial. BCAA's, or Branch Chained Amino Acids, are made up of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. BCAA's, most notably Leucine, have been shown in studies to initiate protein synthesis by activating a pathway called mTOR. This activation of the mTOR pathway is what signals the body to build muscle. Most studies show that 3g of L-Leucine is needed to maximize muscle protein synthesis in a single bout. But including 8g of BCAA's in Hydra8 BCAA, you are guaranteed 4g of L-Leucine per serving. Enough to maximize muscle protein synthesis for lean muscle mass gains and then some! BCAA's are also anti-catabolic. This means that they prevent muscle breakdown, which dramatically helps improve muscle recovery from exercise. Muscle growth, and recovery, is based on your net protein synthesis rate. There are two factors that go into this rate: Muscle protein synthesis (MPS as they will now call it) and Muscle Protein Breakdown (MPB as they will now call it). When MPS is greater than MPB, the net result is a positive protein balance. This leads to better recovery and even lean muscle mass growth. When MPB is greater than MPS, the net result is a negative protein balance. This leads to worse recovery, sore muscles, and the need for more rest. By manipulating this balance to be in their favor (A positive protein balance), they enhance recovery and muscle growth. What's the best way to do this? By including ingredients that help maximize muscle protein synthesis, such as the 4g of L-Leucine, and ingredients that stop muscle protein breakdown, such as the rest of the BCAA's & L-Glutamine. Another interesting benefit about BCAA's is there ability to delay fatigue from exercise. In one study, BCAAs one hour prior to exercise showed that BCAA supplementation was able to preserve reaction time after exercise. With an increase in endurance from the next ingredient they will cover, PeakO2, this delay in fatigue fits perfectly with Keto BCAA's main goal: To maximize your training. 1.5g of Citrulline Malate Citrulline Malate was included in Hydra8 BCAA due to its Nitric Oxide (N.O
