Frequently Asked Questions

What does NSF Certified for Sport mean?

Simple: If it’s not on the label, it’s not in the product. This certification ensures potency of ingredients and that there are no banned substances.

What are BCAAs?

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

What does it mean to have a 4:1:1 BCAA ratio? 

A 4:1:1 BCAA ratio indicates that a supplement has 4 parts leucine for every part isoleucine and valine.

What is catabolism? 

Catabolism is the breakdown of protein. When your body is under significant metabolic stress—like during high-intensity interval or resistance training—it can resort to catabolizing your muscles for energy. 

Directions

Mix one (1) scoop (6.7 g) with 6 - 8 ounces of water, sports drink, or protein supplement. Use before, during or after training.

Warning

Consult your healthcare provider prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have any medical conditions. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep out of reach of children. Tamper evident. Do not use if outer seal is broken or missing.

Do you have to cycle this product?
Anthony A.

Best Answer:  haven't seen any research that says you should. people cycle something like creatine because there isn't any research to show what happens if you use it for more than a few months at a time, so just in case there are long-term side effects they play it safe. bcaa's, since they're just amino acids, should be fine to use regularly as long as you're training. keep in mind that too much of any supplement will eventually tax your liver

Alexander P
What flavors does it come in?
Lon B.

Best Answer:  no flavors. the product directions say to mix it with a beverage. you can also mix it into cereal w/milk, oatmeal, etc. - but note that it seems to have a bitter flavor.

Yvette
Is "True Athlete BCAA 4:1:1" Vegan?
A shopper

Best Answer:  Yep it's vegan. Not made from whey like other BCAA supplements.

Santosh P
How many times per day can you take this product?
A shopper

Best Answer:  I take it 2 x a day

True Althete’s Fermented BCAA 4:1:1 says that it’s plant sourced. Does anyone know which plants it’s sourced from?
A shopper

Daniel W.staff
Does this product contain Soy Lecithin? Also was your BC4AA product made in a facility that handles Corn, Wheat, Gluten, Soy or dairy? Thanks.
James B.

Best Answer:  No lecithin, amino acids only. Label says does not contain wheat, corn, soy etc but nothing about the facility it was manufactured in.

Sandra L

I'm aware what the label says but my question was about the facility it was made in. Thanks

James B.
What is the flavor ?
Do you suggest taking alone in water or adding to a whey protein shake ?
I think I might take 10 g pre workout with water, then 10g post workout in my shake.
