Xplosiv Flavour Bomb BCAAs - 50 Serves
Flavoured 2:1:1 BCAA powder with added electrolytes - 7.1g BCAAs (3.5g leucine) plus 203mg sodium and 173mg potassium per 11.5g serve. 50 serves, no added sugar.
7.1g of 2:1:1 BCAAs + electrolytes per serve
Aminos and electrolytes in one scoop. Xplosiv Flavour Bomb is a flavoured branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) powder — 7.1g of BCAAs per 11.5g serve at a 2:1:1 ratio (3.5g leucine, 1.8g isoleucine, 1.8g valine), with added sodium and potassium electrolytes. 50 serves per container, no added sugar.
- 3.5g leucine per serve — leucine is the branched-chain amino acid that signals muscle protein synthesis after training
- 2:1:1 ratio — 3.5g leucine to 1.8g isoleucine to 1.8g valine, the classic and most-studied BCAA split
- Added electrolytes — 203mg sodium and 173mg potassium per serve to help replace what you lose in sweat
- No added sugar — 0g sugar and just 149kJ per serve; sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium
- 50 serves, mixes pre, intra or post — a flavoured way to sip aminos around your training
Why it works
Training leans on the branched-chain aminos. Leucine, isoleucine and valine are three of the nine essential amino acids — your body can't make them, so they have to come from food, protein or a drink around your session. Flavour Bomb delivers 7.1g of them per serve in a 2:1:1 ratio.
Leucine does the signalling. Of the three, leucine is the one that switches on muscle protein synthesis — the process that rebuilds muscle tissue after exercise [1]. Each 11.5g serve gives you 3.5g of leucine, paired with 1.8g isoleucine and 1.8g valine.
Electrolytes for the long sessions. Hard or long training drains sodium and potassium through sweat. Flavour Bomb adds 203mg of sodium and 173mg of potassium per serve to help replace what you lose and support hydration while you train.
BCAAs aren't a replacement for protein. Your total daily protein is what drives muscle growth — BCAAs are a light, flavoured way to sip aminos around training without adding sugar or calories. Use them alongside your protein, not instead of it.
What's in a serve
| Per 11.5g serve | Amount | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| L-Leucine | 3.5g | The BCAA that signals muscle protein synthesis [1] |
| L-Isoleucine | 1.8g | A branched-chain amino acid used by working muscle |
| L-Valine | 1.8g | A branched-chain amino acid used by working muscle |
| Total BCAAs | 7.1g | Ratio 2:1:1 |
| Sodium | 203mg | Electrolyte lost in sweat |
| Potassium | 173mg | Electrolyte lost in sweat |
| Sugars | 0.0g | No added sugar; 149kJ per serve |

How to use
- Mix one 11.5g scoop into 300–500ml of cold water.
- Take it pre, intra or post workout — before, during or after training, whichever suits your routine. Many people sip it through a session for the electrolytes.
- Adjust the water to taste — more water for a lighter flavour, less for a stronger hit.
Is it for you?
Built for
- Lifters and athletes who want a flavoured amino drink to sip around training
- Anyone training long or in the heat who wants sodium and potassium back in
- People who want aminos without adding sugar or calories to their day
- Anyone who already takes protein and wants to top up leucine intra-workout
Not for
- Anyone relying on it instead of daily protein — it's a top-up, not a protein source
- Anyone avoiding artificial sweeteners — it contains sucralose and acesulfame potassium
- Under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding, unless advised by a healthcare professional
Stack with
It's built to sip alongside the basics. Most people run Flavour Bomb intra-workout for aminos and electrolytes, then keep a whey or plant protein on hand to hit their total daily protein. The BCAAs and electrolytes cover the around-the-session work; your protein does the daily heavy lifting.
FAQ
What is Xplosiv Flavour Bomb BCAAs?
Flavour Bomb is a flavoured branched-chain amino acid powder with added electrolytes. Each 11.5g serve delivers 7.1g of BCAAs — 3.5g L-leucine, 1.8g L-isoleucine and 1.8g L-valine, a 2:1:1 ratio — plus 203mg sodium and 173mg potassium. It has no added sugar, and one container is 50 serves.
What does the 2:1:1 ratio mean?
It means there's about twice as much leucine as isoleucine or valine — 3.5g leucine to 1.8g each of the other two per serve. 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.
Why does it have electrolytes?
Long or intense training drains sodium and potassium through sweat. Flavour Bomb adds 203mg of sodium and 173mg of potassium per serve to help replace those losses and support hydration during a session, which is why many people sip it intra-workout rather than only before or after.
When should I take it?
The formula is made to take pre, intra or post workout — before, during or after training. There's no single best time; sipping it through a session adds the electrolytes while you sweat. Pick the moment that fits your routine, and keep your total daily protein 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 build muscle. Use Flavour Bomb as a sugar-free top-up around training, alongside adequate daily protein — not as a substitute for it.
Does it contain sugar or allergens?
There's no added sugar — the panel shows 0g sugars and 149kJ per serve, sweetened with sucralose and acesulfame potassium. The ingredient list is the BCAA blend, an electrolyte blend, malic and citric acid and natural flavours. No allergens are declared on the panel; ask us for the current batch information if you have a severe allergy.
