What's the Difference Between EAAs and BCAAs?

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) | 6,700 mg 

Of the 20 amino acids necessary for protein synthesis in humans, nine are nutritionally “essential” since the body cannot make them on its own. Hence, we must consume these nine amino acids in the diet for proper health, recovery, and performance. The nine EAAs in our intra-workout supplement include:

• Histidine
• Isoleucine (BCAA)
• Leucine (BCAA)
• Lysine
• Methionine
• Phenylalanine
• Threonine
• Tryptophan
• Valine (BCAA)

Taking essential amino acids before, during, and/or after exercise can help rapidly increase muscle protein synthesis with minimal digestive assistance since the amino acids are not bonded together like they are in protein [1]. In fact, one study found that a bolus of leucine-enriched EAAs after a workout stimulated protein synthesis as effectively as intact whey protein despite each supplement providing the same proportions of essential amino acids [2]. 

L-Citrulline Malate 2:1 | 2,000 mg

Taurine | 2,000 mg

Taurine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid often considered essential to pre-workout supplementation due to its diverse benefits for athletes and gym-goers. For one, taurine is a potent nootropic that promotes focus and attenuates brain cell inflammation and oxidative stress [5, 6].
 

Taurine can also enhance physical performance via increased blood flow to skeletal muscle tissue [7, 8]. Greater blood flow to muscle tissue encourages a favorable milieu for muscle function and recovery during training. Additionally, taurine supplementation has been shown to improve performance in endurance athletes [9].

BetaPure™ Betaine Anhydrous | 1,250 mg

Betaine, also referred to as trimethylglycine, is a derivative of endogenous choline metabolism, and it naturally occurs in plant species (especially sugar beets). In recent years, betaine has become a common ingredient in pre-workout supplements due to it's promise in enhancing athletic performance through diverse mechanisms [10, 11].
 

For one, betaine is an osmolytic compound that promotes cellular hydration, maintaining cellular volume and water balance during exercise. Betaine is also a crucial methyl donor for several biologically important molecules and a regulator of homocysteine levels, the latter of which is postulated to boost blood flow during training [12].

L-Tyrosine | 1,000 mg

Coconut Water Powder | 1,000 mg

Coconut (Cocos nucifera) water is one of the best natural sources of electrolytes and trace minerals, making it an excellent source of hydration. Coconut has been shown to provide a wealth of general health benefits, including, but not limited to [15]: 

• Rehydrating the body
• Fighting inflammation
• Balancing blood glucose and insulin levels
• Promoting immune function
• Enhancing eye and skin health
• Supporting kidney function

Electrolytes | 415 mg (combined)

ElevATP® | 150 mg

ElevATP® is a clinically researched combination of  “ancient peat” (fossilized plants) and apple skin extracts. Using innovative biotechnology, elevATP® stimulates your body’s endogenous production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the veritable energetic currency of cells.

By boosting ATP production, ElevATP® can help promote athletic performance (e.g. max strength) and improve body composition [18, 19]. ElevATP® is also a fast-acting ATP booster that starts working from the very first dose [20].

Astragin™ | 50 mg
