Overview

Here is what XBrain have to say:

You’re Holding More than a BCAA Formula. You’re holding a BCAA formula that doesn’t follow the crowd. There are no useless filler aminos. No fake tasting artificial sweeteners. And no low-dosed, do-nothing amounts of the key aminos you need to help support improved performance and recovery. What you’re holding is a product that is CHARGED UP with the best, most trusted aminos in the World. We’re talking 9,125 milligrams of BCAAs to help support lean muscle growth and fatigue reduction. 3,650 milligrams of Beta-Alanine to help improve muscular endurance and power. And L-Glutamine and L-Carnitine Tartrate to help support faster workout recovery. Plus, Amino CHARGED™ provides XBrain’s breakthrough RNA Nucleotide complex, which may help to reduce cortisol and support a healthy immune system in athletes. Packed with vitamins, minerals and organic Acai for antioxidant protection too, you’re holding more than a BCAA formula. You’re holding the best, performance product on the market today!

Nutritional Information

 

XBrain have stuck to the tried and tested BCAA ratio of 2:1:1 rather than one of the fancier but unproven 4:1:1 or even 8:1:1 stacks. They haven’t skimped on the doses either you get a total of 9,125mg of the 3 BCAA’s whereas most products would provide between 5,000 – 7500mg. Glutamine is included as well because you can never have too much Glutamine in your diet!

L-Carnitine Tartrate has added in which helps with the transportation of fatty acids for fuel. XBrain’s signature nucleotides stack is included which helps suppress cortisol and promotes protein synthesis.

A surprising inclusion is Acai Powder which is a powerful antioxidant that is rich in vitamins and minerals and is considered a super-food.

Taste

It only comes in Acai Berry and its not bad tasting if you dilute it enough, if you take it with the recommended 250ml of water its very strong but in about 500ml it tastes quite nice and makes a great intra workout drink.

It mixes up well, doesn’t leave any grit or have an unpleasant aftertaste.

Side Effects

None

Price

£37.99 for a tub with 22 servings in.

Results

As with all XBrain products AminoCharged is meticulously dosed and contains more beneficial ingredients than you would expect. First as this is an amino product lets take the BCAAs. You get a massive dose of 9,125mg! That’s the most I’ve seen in a BCAA product. Then you have Glutamine, Carnitine, Nucleotides, Beta Alanine & Acai Powder. That is a powerful recovery, fat burning, cortisol suppressing, performance boosting stack of “extras” to be offering up. None of these are lightly dosed either. The Glutamine is a little bit lower than I’d like to see but as this isn’t supposed to be your sole Glutamine source that’s more than forgivable.

The taste isn’t bad but it’s not brilliant. It doesn’t bloat you or cause any distress. Whilst XBrain recommend a serving before or after training personally I quite liked it as an intra workout failing that I would use it postworkout rather than as a preworkout.

It might be priced slightly out of the majority of people budget at £37.99 for only 22 servings which is a shame because it is a good product. As with all the Xbrain products that I’ve tried this contains nothing artificial or “fake” which is an added bonus for anyone who is health conscious. 8/10
