Bio Synergy BCAA Powder


 

Overview
Here’s what Bio-Synergy have to say:

Bio-Synergy BCAA Pre-work out is an advanced high performance & delicious blend of amino acids containing 5g of the Branched Chain Amino Acids (L Leucine, L Isoleucine and L Valine) and Beta Alanine, Taurine, Caffeine and Vitamin B6, making it one of the most advanced strength, endurance and energy supplements on the market.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) contain a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. These amino acids are considered to be essential amino acids as they cannot be synthesised in the body. BCAAs can be consumed throughout the day for or before, during and after workouts. You can increase the effectiveness of BCAAs by consuming with Vitamin B6, which is whey each serving contains 100% RDA.

Bio-Synergy PRE workout BCAA is suitable for anyone taking part in intense training or exercise, or for anyone looking to increase lean mass and reducing body fat levels.
Each delicious blue raspberry 12g serving is sugar, fat and calorie free, so provides the performance & recovery without un-necessary calories.

Nutritional Information
 
Bio Synergy use the 2:1:1 ratio that has proven most effective/popular over the years. Taurine is included for focus and Beta Alanine for tinglyness (that’s a real word!). The popular preworkout ingredient caffeine has been thrown in to give you a bit of a buzz.

Taste
Although the Blue Raspberry flavour is bright blue and makes you look like a 12 year old when you drink it the taste is actually pretty good. I usually added more water than suggested to weaken it a bit but I quite liked it. It mixed up well in standard shaker.

Side Effects
None

Price
£34.99 for a tub with 30 servings in.

Results
Although this is billed as a preworkout it’s actually a much more effective intra-workout, the small amount of caffeine is enough to prolong the effects of a preworkout and just keep you going that little bit longer.

As a preworkout I found it a little bit weak, the focus was alright but it did nothing for pumps. It would work for cardio or sports but not in the weight room. As an intra workout I thought it was great. The extra caffeine boost really helped during longer sessions and the added focus made PR attempts a little less daunting.

The flavour is pretty great and whilst the price is a little bit higher than I’d like to see its not that far off the mark. Its not a groundbreaking product but it is a solid one and it most certainly works better as an intraworkout than a preworkout. 7/10
