Why Use BCAA Glutamine

Transparent Labs BCAA Glutamine provides essential amino acids to fuel your muscles so you can accelerate muscle growth and recover easier between workouts.

Promote Muscle Growth

Maximize muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise

Accelerate Recovery

Promote faster muscle repair and reduce downtime between workouts

Reduce Soreness & Fatigue

Reduce muscle soreness after intense workouts

Boost Hydration

Electrolytes from coconut water replenish fluids and minerals lost during training.

Key Ingredients

Our formulas are made with clean, natural ingredients, with clinically-validated dosages to support health and performance.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) 2:1:1

8,000 mg
BCAAs are a group of essential amino acids that promote muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle soreness, enhance performance, and support recovery during and after intense workouts.

L-Glutamine

5,000 mg
A conditionally essential amino acid that aids muscle recovery, boosts immune function, and replenishes depleted glutamine stores.

Vitamin C

1,500 mg
A powerful antioxidant that supports recovery by mitigating exercise-induced inflammation.

Coconut Water Powder

1,000 mg
As a natural source of electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, coconut water promotes hydration and replenishes essential minerals lost during intense workouts.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) 2:1:1

8,000 mg

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids—L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine—that play an integral role in muscle protein synthesis, the process by which cells create new muscle proteins (which is necessary for muscle recovery and hypertrophy). While there are nine essential amino acids, L-leucine is widely regarded as the “master regulator” of protein synthesis [1].

Supplementing with a 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs (leucine: isoleucine:valine) post-workout can mitigate the severity of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and decrease muscle damage markers, such as creatine kinase [2]. Further evidence indicates that BCAA supplementation may improve endurance and muscle strength by reducing rates of perceived exertion and increasing lactate thresholds during exercise [3, 4].

Additionally, BCAAs can help protect against muscle protein breakdown during weight-loss phases [5, 6].

L-Glutamine

5,000 mg

L-glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in human muscle and plasma; however, it is a conditionally essential amino acid for active gym-goers and athletes since intense and long-duration exercise can deplete glutamine stores in the body [7].

Studies show that glutamine supplementation helps improve muscle glycogen synthesis, gut health, and immune function in active individuals, making it useful for muscle recovery and performance [8, 9, 10]. Research has shown that glutamine also plays a key role in protein synthesis despite being a non-essential amino acid [11].

Vitamin C

1,500 mg

Exercise may produce higher amounts of inflammation than the body’s natural antioxidant capabilities can counteract, leading to tissue damage and reduced muscle contractility

Vitamin C has also been shown to help combat the oxidative stress and inflammatory response to exercise, supporting faster recovery [12, 13]

Coconut Water Powder

1,000 mg

Coconut water is one of Mother Nature’s most dense sources of electrolytes and trace minerals.

Coconut water powder removes the sugary and fatty constituents of coconut water while retaining the essential electrolyte micronutrients, such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium. Due to its abundant electrolyte profile, coconut water can rapidly rehydrate after intense exercise, making it ideal for pre-, intra-, and post-workout supplementation [14].

This “unflavored” is absolutely terrible tasting even in other things with flavor . I will try a different flavor next time . Excited to see how it works though !

Flavor is overpowering

I recently added Glutamine to my regime. I picked up the fruit punch flavor based off the reviews and wow is that flavor strong. I ended up cutting the serving in half and then adding it to 16oz of water and it's still way too strong. I wish I could get a sample pack to try all the different options. I'd like to try and another flavor before I quit using this product.

The blue raspberry is a great flavor. It's not an over powering flavor, and mixes well with my water. I definitely feel better during and after my workouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

BCAA supplements typically provide three essential amino acids known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in their  “free form” (hence, they are rapidly absorbed). The body cannot produce essential amino acids (including BCAAs) on its own, so we must obtain them regularly via whole foods and/or nutritional supplements.

 

Ideally, BCAA powder should be consumed before, during, or immediately after workouts to maximize muscle repair and mitigate exercise-induced muscle soreness. BCAAs are rapidly absorbed and easy on the stomach, so consuming BCAAs during workouts won't leave you feeling heavy like many protein shakes/ supplements. .

 

BCAAs and creatine are both popular, but they serve different purposes. BCAAs—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—are essential amino acids that help stimulate muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle soreness, and prevent muscle breakdown, especially during endurance training, fasted workouts, or calorie deficits. BCAAs can be useful during intense training phases. Creatine, on the other hand, is a naturally occurring compound that helps regenerate ATP, the body’s primary energy source during short, high-intensity movements like lifting or sprinting.

 

Yes, many individuals  take BCAAs with protein powder, but it’s not always necessary. Most high-quality protein powders already contain all the essential amino acids, including BCAAs (especially leucine, which is key for muscle protein synthesis). 

However, it is advisable to  take BCAAs during an intense training block or while training fasted to help accelerate muscle protein synthesis and  reduce muscle breakdown and fatigue.

 

Yes, taking up to 20 grams of BCAAs daily in divided doses (~5-10 g per dose) is considered safe. However, BCAAs are not intended as a sole source of nutrition and will not offset a lack of protein in the diet.
