Steadfast's Active BCAA is crafted to get the best out of you. Active BCAA is an advanced muscle repair and growth formula in ideal 2:1:1 ratio of three of the most essential amino acids L-leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine along with muscle maximiser and fatigue reducer, L-Arginine, Muscle Maintenance Amino Acid, L-Glutamine and low GI fruit-based carbohydrate fructose, making Active BCAA the intra workout essential for every sport.

Each 15 g serving sachet of Active BCAA provides:

BCAAs 5000 mg
(L-Leucine 2500 mg, L-Isoleucine 1250 mg and L-Valine 1250 mg)
L-Glutamine 1000 mg
L-Arginine 500 mg

Why Active BCAA?

Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are three essential amino acids grouped as Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). These amino acids play a role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, muscle soreness and fatigue.

1. Muscle Growth -

Active BCAA promotes muscle growth by providing leucine, which acts as an activator of muscle synthesis pathway in our body.

2. Enhances Recovery -

BCAAs is known to enhance muscle recovery when consumed after an intense workout session. Athletes and active people prefer taking it during a workout as it quickly gets absorbed by the body and aids in muscle repair. Presence of glutamine further assists BCAAs in inflating muscle recovery.

3. Delay Muscle Soreness -

BCAAs are also effective in reducing muscle soreness. Vigorous exercise often results in soreness called DOMS (Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness). Active BCAA helps reduce the length and intensity of DOMS, provides strength & stamina that allows the body to perform for a longer duration.

4. Reduces Fatigue -

Almost every athlete experiences exercise-induced fatigue. It happens when energy and BCAAs levels along with other nutrients decline in our body during exercise, with an increased level of tryptophan. Our body utilises this tryptophan to synthesise serotonin because of which fatigue sets in. Active BCAA is a powerful stress and fatigue buster, which helps improve mental alertness and allows greater concentration, hence improves performance.

5. Increased Nutrient Supply -

Active BCAA contains L-Arginine, which acts as a precursor of nitric oxide (NO). Arginine increases nitric oxide activity in the body resulting in vasodilation. Improved blood flow, enhanced and constant supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles empowers athletic performance and increases tenacity.

6. Increased Endurance -

Active BCAA is an ideal intra-workout for improving endurance. During long-duration matches or training, it reduces muscle fatigue, muscle breakdown and acts as an intra-muscular fuel when glucose or glycogen levels are depleted.

7. Boosts Immunity -

Presence of BCAA and L-Glutamine acts together in the body in boosting immune health. Active BCAA is excellent for fighting against infections, inflammation and protecting our body from foreign pathogens because it provides glutamine necessary for the synthesis of immune cells.

8. Promotes Lean Mass -

Active BCAA promotes lean muscle gain by boosting metabolism, enabling fat loss and preventing fat gain. When BCAA is combined with an intense exercise session, it promotes the use of fat for energy and builds lean muscle mass.

9. Boosts Athletic Performance -

Active BCAA provides three of the most essential amino acids along with L-Arginine and L-Glutamine to prevent catabolism and promote anabolism. It increases the availability of nutrients during a workout or intense training session to prevent an athlete from “hitting the wall”. It simultaneously works on recovery, repairing of muscles and inflates your stamina to boost the overall athletic performance.

What does Active BCAA constitute?

Amino Acid Mix (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, L- Glutamine, L-Arginine HCl), Fructose, Acidity Regulator (INS 330), Emulsifier {INS 322 (i)}, Sweeteners (INS 950, INS 955 and INS 960).

Who can take Active BCAA?

1. Strength Athletes -

Active BCAA is a perfect intra-workout drink for strength athletes like bodybuilders, weightlifters, power lifters, etc. It comes with three vital amino acids in an ideal ratio to work on the repair and recovery of muscles during workout. The beauty of BCAAs is that it aids in recovery after a workout as well. Presence of L-Arginine and L-Glutamine provides additional support to BCAA by improving the blood flow, better absorption of amino acids and other needed nutrients. A sachet of Active BCAA is recommended for strength athletes per day.

2. Endurance Athletes -

Endurance athletes like cyclists, runners and swimmers can make use of Active BCAA in enhancing their performance during training sessions and event days. It assists in carbohydrate metabolism and works to ensure a continual supply of energy. If you prefer taking an energy drink during your training then Active BCAA can easily be mixed and taken along with the same. A balanced proportion of carbohydrates and amino acids will prevent depletion of glycogen stores and muscle damage. A sachet of Active BCAA is recommended for endurance athletes per day.

When to take Active BCAA?

Active BCAA can be consumed at any time during the day, preferably during your workout.

How to take Active BCAA?

Mix one sachet (15 g) in 300 ml of water or juice. Consume one serving daily by adults.

1.What is Active BCAA?

Active BCAA is advanced muscle repair and growth formula in ideal 2:1:1 ratio of three of the most essential amino acids L-leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine along with L-Arginine, L-Glutamine and low GI fruit-based carbohydrate - Fructose.

2. How can Active BCAA be beneficial for sportspersons and athletes?

Active BCAA, when consumed during a workout, boosts athletic performance by minimising muscle damage, soreness, providing stamina and simultaneously works on the recovery and repairing of your muscles.  

3. What is the best time to consume Active BCAA?

Active BCAA can be consumed at any time during the day, preferably during your workout.

4. Can Active BCAA be taken during the days when I am not going to the gym?

Active BCAA can be taken during rest days as it supports muscle recovery, repair and fulfils the supply of essential amino acids required by your muscles.

5. I am in a habit of taking Snergy during a workout. Can I consume Active BCAA with it?

Active BCAA can be taken along with Snergy. Active BCAA and Snergy consumed together boosts up the energy levels, while the essential aminos present minimises the likelihood of muscle damage and amplifies stamina.

Similarly, Active BCAA can also be taken along with Collastead to strengthen your ligaments & tendons reducing the injury risk and perform better.

6. Why do we need additional BCAA supplements? Does protein not give enough BCAA?

Protein-rich foods like eggs, fish, chicken, soybean, milk and milk products are rich in BCAA. But supplementing your diet with BCAAs definitely gives you an extra edge. Active BCAA consumed during or before a workout is rapidly absorbed and up-taken by our muscles, thereby declining muscle breakdown.

7. How to use Active BCAA?

Mix one sachet (15 g) in 300 ml of water or juice. Consume one serving daily by adults.
