Product score

60 / 100Good
Category average
70.7 / 100

This is a one-scoop workout drink with 10 g of total amino acids, but the label does not reveal how much of that blend is BCAAs, so the principal dose is difficult to assess.

Score before rubric limits: 65.6 / 100.

Scoring criteria
  • Quantity

    75 / 100

    The 10 g figure is for the entire amino-acid blend, and the BCAA amount within it is not disclosed, leaving the principal dose unresolved.

  • Form

    75 / 100

    The listed L-form amino acids are conventional free amino acids with no established relevant comparative absorption or tolerability advantage; micronization alone does not merit a premium.

  • Convenience

    100 / 100

    The directions allow one scoop before, during, or after exercise; I assess one scoop at one administration as the routine.

  • Label accuracy

    75 / 100

    The seller calls alanine, taurine, and citrulline essential amino acids, though they are not all essential; the label also does not disclose individual blend amounts.

  • Formula balance

    75 / 100

    The listed amino acids can be used together, with no established compatibility problem or formulation advantage evident from the label.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    No product-specific purity controls or defects are established, and the listed flavoring and sweeteners do not alone demonstrate a problem.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    Vitamin D is quantified, but no complementary role for it in the stated BCAA workout purpose is established.
