Athletech BCAAs 300g
Unflavoured 2:1:1 BCAA powder — 2,500mg leucine, 1,250mg isoleucine and 1,250mg valine in every 5g scoop. 60 serves, no fillers, every dose printed.
5g of 2:1:1 BCAAs per scoop — nothing else
Just the three aminos. Athletech BCAAs is an unflavoured 2:1:1 branched-chain amino acid powder — 2,500mg leucine, 1,250mg isoleucine and 1,250mg valine in every 5g scoop. Other ingredients: none. 60 serves a tub, every dose printed on the label.
- 2,500mg leucine per serve — leucine is the amino acid that signals muscle protein synthesis after training
- Classic 2:1:1 ratio — 2,500mg leucine to 1,250mg isoleucine to 1,250mg valine, the most-studied BCAA split
- 5g of pure BCAAs, no fillers — the whole scoop is amino acids; the label reads "other ingredients: none"
- Unflavoured by design — stir it into pre-workout, protein or electrolytes without changing the taste
- 60 serves per 300g tub — every dose printed, no proprietary blend, no guesswork
Why it works
Training tears muscle down before it rebuilds it. The amino acids your body leans on to rebuild — leucine, isoleucine and valine — are three of the nine essential aminos you can't make yourself. They have to come from food, protein, or a shake you take around your session.
Leucine does the signalling. Of the three branched-chain aminos, leucine is the one that switches on muscle protein synthesis — the process that rebuilds muscle tissue after exercise [1]. Athletech BCAAs delivers 2,500mg of leucine in every 5g serve, paired with isoleucine and valine at the classic 2:1:1 ratio.
Every dose is on the label. 2,500mg leucine, 1,250mg isoleucine, 1,250mg valine — that's the entire 5g scoop, with no fillers, sweeteners, flavours or "other ingredients". What you read on the panel is exactly what you mix.
BCAAs aren't a replacement for protein. Your total daily protein is what drives muscle growth — BCAAs are a light, unflavoured way to add aminos around training without adding calories or another flavour to your day. Use them alongside your protein, not instead of it.
What's in a 5g serve
| Per 5g scoop | Amount | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| L-Leucine | 2,500mg | The BCAA that signals muscle protein synthesis [1] |
| L-Isoleucine | 1,250mg | A branched-chain amino acid used by working muscle |
| L-Valine | 1,250mg | A branched-chain amino acid used by working muscle |
| Total BCAAs | 5,000mg | The full scoop — ratio 2:1:1 |
Other ingredients: none. The whole 5g scoop is free-form branched-chain amino acids — no fillers, no sweeteners, no flavours. The full Supplement Facts panel and suggested use are on the Supplement Facts tab.
How to use
- Mix one 5g scoop into 300–500ml of water or the drink you're already having.
- Take it pre, intra or post workout — before, during or after training, whichever suits your routine.
- Stack it. Because it's unflavoured, it folds straight into a pre-workout, a protein shake or an electrolyte drink without fighting the flavour.
Is it for you?
Built for
- Lifters and athletes who want extra aminos around training without extra calories
- Anyone who already takes protein and wants to top up leucine intra-workout
- People who prefer unflavoured so they can mix it into anything
- Label-readers who want every dose printed, no proprietary blend
Not for
- Anyone wanting a sweet, ready-to-sip flavoured drink — this is unflavoured
- Anyone relying on it instead of daily protein — it's a top-up, not a protein source
- Under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, unless advised by a healthcare professional
Stack with
It's built to be mixed. Because Athletech BCAAs is unflavoured and filler-free, most people sip it intra-workout in their pre-workout or electrolyte drink, and keep a whey or plant protein on hand to hit their total daily protein. The BCAAs cover the around-the-session aminos; your protein does the daily heavy lifting.
FAQ
What are Athletech BCAAs?
Athletech BCAAs is an unflavoured branched-chain amino acid powder. Each 5g scoop delivers 2,500mg L-leucine, 1,250mg L-isoleucine and 1,250mg L-valine — a 2:1:1 ratio totalling 5g of pure BCAAs. The label lists no other ingredients: no fillers, sweeteners or flavours. One 300g tub is 60 serves.
What does the 2:1:1 ratio mean?
It means there's twice as much leucine as isoleucine or valine — 2,500mg leucine to 1,250mg each of the other two. Leucine is the branched-chain amino acid that signals muscle protein synthesis, so the 2:1:1 split puts the most into the one that does the signalling. It's the most-studied BCAA ratio.
When should I take BCAAs?
The label suggests one 5g scoop pre, intra or post workout — before, during or after training. Many people sip them during a session. There's no single "best" time; pick the moment that fits your routine and keep your total daily protein intake on track, since that's the bigger driver of results.
Do BCAAs replace protein powder?
No. BCAAs give you three of the nine essential amino acids, while a complete protein gives you all nine plus the calories and total protein your body needs to grow muscle. Use BCAAs as a calorie-light top-up around training, alongside adequate daily protein — not as a substitute for it.
Why is it unflavoured?
Because it's nothing but the three amino acids — no sweeteners, colours or flavours to dilute the dose. Unflavoured BCAAs have a naturally plain, slightly bitter taste, so most people mix the scoop into a flavoured drink: a pre-workout, a protein shake, juice or an electrolyte mix. That keeps every gram working.
Can I stack it with other supplements?
Yes. The suggested use notes it stacks easily with pre-workout, protein powder or electrolytes. Being unflavoured and filler-free, it folds into whatever you're already drinking without changing the taste. A common setup is BCAAs intra-workout plus a whey or plant protein to cover daily protein.
Does it contain allergens or fillers?
The Supplement Facts panel lists the three amino acids and states "other ingredients: none" — so there are no fillers, sweeteners or flavours in the scoop. The panel doesn't print an allergen or cross-contamination statement, so if you have a severe allergy, ask us for the current batch information before you buy.
