Scitec BCAA Complex Review

 

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

The Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) are a group of so-called essential amino acids consisting of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. The BCAA's are among the 9 essential amino acids for humans, because our bodies can’t manufacture them, so their only source is our daily food or food supplementation. On the other hand, they account for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle proteins. Standard BCAA products typically contain a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, however on the market the new standard for BCAA’s is a dominant ratio of Leucine, 8:1:1 to the other BCAA’s. With this ratio you don’t have to increase the total product dosage to get high levels of Leucine. However, our BCAA COMPLEX formula doesn’t just stop with a new BCAA ratio! Glutamine is a top ingredient for athletes in popularity, so we included it to boost Glutamine intake levels as well. To increase the complexity of the formula, we added the amino L-Alanine as well, which is second only to Leucine in rate of occurrence in proteins and it’s particularly concentrated in meats! Finally, BCAA COMPLEX is a source of Vitamin B6, which contributes to:

• the regulation of hormonal activity
• normal energy-yielding metabolism
• the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• normal functioning of the immune system and nervous systems
• normal protein and glycogen metabolism
• normal red blood cell formation.

Taste

It only comes in Lemon flavour but that’s ok because it tastes awesome, a bit like Lemon Fanta. I normally hate the taste of BCAA products but I could drink this all day. I never had a problem mixing or any problems at all.

Results

I really liked this product, I used it at different times, as a preworkout, intra-workout and post workout. It’s great at all times! It really helps with recovery and I did find that had more energy when I drank it during my workout. My muscles weren’t sore and they didn’t give up on me during heavy sets. I would recommend this be taken as an intra-workout product to enhance your workload and speed up your recovery. I couldn’t really find any faults with it to be honest, its pretty damn great, BCAAs are becoming more and more used by the masses and it clear to see why. You need this in your stack whether you are cutting or bulking. 9/10
