AI overview
AI generated. Not medical advice.What it's for
Workout recovery, Muscle protein support, Exercise performance support
Who it may fit
Active adults with intense training schedules or those with low dietary intake of complete proteins seeking simple intra- or post-workout amino support.
How to take
Mix 1 scoop (5 g) in 6–8 oz of water, juice, or a compatible supplement and shake for 15–20 seconds; take once daily around workouts as desired. For many, BCAA powders are well tolerated when taken with or around training sessions.
Diet / Allergen fit
Gluten Free; Soy Free. Allergen warning: Produced in a facility that also handles milk, soy, egg, peanut, tree nuts, sesame, fish, crustacean, and shellfish products.
Ingredients explained
L-Leucine
Leucine activates the mTOR signaling pathway in muscle cells, which may stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery after exercise.
Caution: Use within total daily protein goals; excessive amino acid intake may stress kidneys, especially if you have reduced kidney function.
L-Isoleucine
Isoleucine is used by muscles for energy and may support glucose handling during and after exercise, contributing to post-workout recovery.
Caution: May affect blood sugar response; monitor if you track carbohydrate intake around training.
L-Valine
Valine is a branched-chain amino acid that can be oxidized by muscle for energy and may help reduce exercise-related muscle breakdown.
Caution: High single-amino intake without adequate overall protein and calories may be counterproductive for training goals.
How they work together
Leucine may drive muscle protein synthesis via mTOR activation, while isoleucine and valine provide complementary BCAA substrates that muscles can use for energy during training. Together they supply key essential amino acids directly to muscle tissue, supporting protein building while limiting breakdown during workouts.
Safety and tips
Label Warning: For adult use only. Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if you are taking levodopa, or if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking any prescription or OTC medications. Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have liver or kidney disease or if you have been instructed to follow a low protein diet. Stop use and contact a healthcare provider if you experience hypersensitivity or an adverse reaction. California Proposition 65: This product may expose you to lead, which is known in California to be associated with birth defects or reproductive harm.
Who should be cautious: People with liver or kidney concerns, on a low protein diet, or taking levodopa. Those with multiple medical conditions or using prescription or OTC medications should speak with a healthcare provider before use.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

ALLMAX brings you Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) powder in a 2:1:1 ratio. Unlike other aminos, BCAAs are unique in that they are taken up by the muscles directly whereas other aminos are processed by the liver. BCAAs are critical to building quality muscle fast. BCAAs are widely known to increase the rate of muscle growth in response to training, in fact research indicates that as much as 35% of muscle tissue is comprised of BCAAs. BCAAs are highly Anti-Catabolic. Since muscle tissue absorbs BCAAs directly, your muscle tissue has the fuel it needs and dramatically limits muscle tissue break down. For competitive athletes looking to increase strength and muscle size, BCAAs are the "must-have" supplement.¹
L-Leucine - provides support to lean muscle tissue and provides energy, specifically when training intensely, and helps to maintain a positive nitrogen balance within the body. Leucine is referred to as a "limiting nutrient"; meaning the body requires L-Leucine in a specific ratio to other aminos to assimilate protein into the body. Leucine activates a major anabolic pathway called the mTOR pathway which stimulates muscle protein synthesis.¹
L-Valine - plays a role in glucose metabolism, protein synthesis and provides immune support. It provides extra glucose for energy during times of hardcore training, making it a valuable addition for any athlete. It is also involved in the detoxification of excess nitrogen in the liver.¹
L-Isoleucine - provides muscle recovery post-workout and has been found to be helpful to assist in supporting blood sugar levels already within normal range. Isoleucine plays a role in hemoglobin formation and can increase energy levels and extend endurance.¹
ALLMAX BCAA 2:1:1 are the highest quality BCAAs you can buy.
¹In conjunction with diet and resistance training.
