Product Information

Finally, the low calorie count makes it perfect if you’re following a calorie-restricted nutrition plan at the moment.

Some think it contains too many sweeteners and sugars…which probably means they just think it’s too sweet, they don’t make exactly what they are saying very clear.The most unusual ingredients are rhodiola, an herb used in traditional Chinese and Scandinavian medicine, and Wellmune®, which is beta glucans from baker’s yeast. I’ll discuss their effects in the next section. Valine is the least tested and least useful of the three amino acids and it’s rarely researched in isolation. It doesn’t modify glucose uptake but it’s possibly a weak activator of protein synthesis and has been linked to a stimulated immune system — which ties in well with ON’s aims for Gold Standard BCAA. It’s also really important that you carefully read the entire label of any supplement you’re thinking of taking for the first time.

There’s no caffeine, so while the rhodiola is good for attenuating fatigue (some prefer it to caffeine), it won’t amp you up as much as some pre-workouts. But I think that just makes it more versatile — you can probably take it any time, and although rhodiola might not be a good idea late at night, there’s a lot less discomfort from taking a lot of rhodiola than there is from too much caffeine.
