Optimum Nutrition BCAA 1000 supplies a potent 1000mg blend of the three essential branched-chain amino acids—Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine—in the proven 2:1:1 ratio. Formulated for active Kiwis looking to preserve lean muscle tissue, support post-workout recovery, and reduce muscle breakdown, these easy-to-swallow capsules provide a convenient alternative to amino powders with no mixing or measuring required.

Key Benefits & Features

• Optimal 2:1:1 Ratio: Formulated with 500mg L-Leucine, 250mg L-Isoleucine, and 250mg L-Valine to trigger muscle protein synthesis effectively.

• Prevents Muscle Breakdown: Provides anti-catabolic support during intense training, high-cardio sessions, or caloric deficit diets.

• Accelerates Post-Workout Recovery: Helps reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) so you can return to training faster.

• Convenient Capsule Format: Easy to take on the go with zero need for shakers, water mixing, or artificial flavouring.

• Gold Standard Quality: Manufactured by Optimum Nutrition to strict purity standards for optimal bio-availability.

How It Works

Branched-chain amino acids are essential nutrients that the human body cannot produce on its own, meaning they must be obtained through food or supplementation. Unlike other amino acids that are metabolised in the liver, BCAAs are processed directly inside muscle tissue.

During heavy resistance training or endurance exercise, your body drains glycogen stores and begins breaking down muscle protein for fuel. Taking Optimum Nutrition BCAA 1000 floods your bloodstream with free-form aminos, supplying immediate energy to working muscles, halting cellular breakdown, and signaling the body to start repairing muscle tissue immediately.

Recommended Use

Take 2 capsules daily with water between meals, 30–45 minutes before your workout, or immediately post-training to support muscle recovery.
