Product information
What are BCAAs?
BCAA stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids. These are leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are essential amino acids, which the body must obtain from the diet.
Our powder combines these three amino acids in a weight ratio of 2:1:1. This is a deliberate selection. A complete protein contains other amino acids in addition to BCAAs, which cannot be replaced by this mixture.
Distinguishing between BCAAs, amino acid complexes and protein
Amino acid complex
A blend of several individual amino acids. Which ones are included depends on the specific formulation.
Protein-rich foods
Pulses, eggs and dairy products provide a broader spectrum of amino acids and other nutrients. BCAAs are not a substitute for these foods.
A closer look at our product
Here’s the breakdown of our 4 g serving
2 g leucine, 1 g isoleucine, 1 g valine
The four components together total 4 g. This ratio describes our ready-made blend; you do not need to mix individual powders together.
For shakes and smoothies
Our BCAA powder is hard to dissolve completely. It disperses better in a smoothie than in a clear drink. Stir again before drinking.
Intake & everyday use
Recommended daily intake for 2:1:1 BCAA powder
Once a day, stir 4 g of powder into plenty of liquid, a shake or a smoothie. This corresponds to eight of the enclosed vital measuring scoops. It is also intended to be mixed into food.

Understanding solubility
Our BCAA powder is hard to dissolve completely. Stir the serving in thoroughly or use a shaker. With this powder, expect a drink that is not completely clear.
Do not exceed the stated recommended daily dose. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of young children.
From the kitchen
Recipe idea: berry smoothie
A banana gives the smoothie a creamy consistency. This allows our poorly soluble BCAA powder to be distributed evenly throughout.
Ingredients
- 100 g berries, fresh or defrosted
- 1 small banana
- 150 ml water
- 4 g BCAA powder
Preparation
- Blend the berries, banana and water until smooth.
- Measure out 4 g of BCAA and mix in thoroughly.

Frequently asked questions about 2:1:1 BCAA powder
4 g once a day, which corresponds to eight of the enclosed vital measuring scoops. Stir the powder into plenty of liquid, a shake or a smoothie, or mix it into your food. The recommended daily intake does not specify a time of day. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose of 4 g.
300 g divided by 4 g gives 75 daily servings. A daily serving of 4 g corresponds to eight of the enclosed vital measuring scoops. At one serving a day, the pack lasts 75 days.
L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. A daily serving of 4 g contains 2 g of L-leucine, 1 g of L-isoleucine and 1 g of L-valine. This is exactly the split described by the 2:1:1 ratio.
No. Our powder provides three individual amino acids. A protein shake contains a protein with other amino acids. Protein-rich foods such as pulses, eggs or dairy products provide a broader range of amino acids, and BCAA does not replace them.
Our BCAA is poorly soluble. Use plenty of liquid and mix thoroughly. Do not expect a completely clear solution.
Away from light, in a dry place and out of the reach of young children, as stated on the label. Close the pouch tightly after each use so that no moisture gets to the powder. You’ll find the best-before date on the pack.
