BCAA (l-leucine, l-valine, l-isoleucine), inulin, maltodextrin, natural flavouring, trimagnesium citrate, sea salt, potassium, B6, citric acid, Sweetener: sucralose. Emulsifier: lecithin. Colours: beetroot red and blue spirulina (spirulina extract, trehalose, and maltodextrin).

Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many other functions, including blood sugar regulation, muscle and bone growth and repair, growth hormone production, and wound healing. It also prevents muscle protein breakdown after trauma or severe stress. It is Leucine that signals the body to switch to an anabolic state where it begins to rebuild. The sooner your body receives this signal after exercise, the sooner it will switch from breaking down muscle to building and repairing it to ensure a complete and rapid recovery.

Valine plays a role in muscle growth, tissue repair, and energy production. It also maintains mental strength, muscle coordination, and emotional calm.

Isoleucine is concentrated in muscle tissues in humans and has a range of functions, including regulating blood sugar and energy levels, supporting wound healing, boosting immune function, promoting the secretion of various hormones and hemoglobin production. It may also help prevent muscle breakdown during exercise, thereby improving recovery.

Inulin belongs to the prebiotics. Inulin is a fiber that feeds the good bacteria in the intestine.

Maltodextrin is a slightly sweet, easily digestible carbohydrate derived from starch. It is a popular choice among athletes for its ability to provide rapid energy. Ideal for a quick and efficient energy boost.

Trimagnesium citrate, called to avoid confusion with the salt used in the medical context, is a salt that usually occurs in hydrated form, is not very soluble in water and tastes bitter. Magnesium citrate contains 16.2% magnesium by mass.

Sea salt is a salt that is obtained by evaporating seawater. It is used as an ingredient in cooking and some cosmetic products.

Potassium is a mineral that, together with chloride and sodium, is involved in regulating fluid balance and blood pressure. In addition, potassium, together with sodium, ensures that nerve impulses are properly conducted and muscles contract.

Panax ginseng (Korean Ginseng) is also called 'true ginseng'. It belongs to the large ginseng family. The roots of the plant have been used in Chinese and Russian herbal medicine since 5000 BC to support resistance, brain functions and libido.

Vitamin B6 is a versatile vitamin that helps with protein metabolism and hormone activity. Vitamin B6 is also called pyridoxine.

Citric acid is an organic acid. It is particularly abundant in fruits of the Citrus genus, but a range of fruits and vegetables contain this acid in nutritionally relevant amounts.

Sucralose is an intense sweetener that is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar. It is often used as a sugar substitute due to its sweet taste. In addition, the substance is not broken down in the body and therefore does not provide calories. It is often used in table sweeteners and various foods such as soft drinks, chewing gum and candy.

Lecithin is a mixture of glycolipids, triglycerides and phospholipids. In biochemistry, however, it refers to a specific compound.

Blue spirulina powder is a 100% natural food coloring made from blue-green algae and is grown in filtered natural water.

Trehalose is a natural disaccharide that at first glance does not immediately seem like the best sugar substitute: it is only half as sweet as sugar but has a comparable nutritional value.


Maltodextrin is a slightly sweet, easily digestible carbohydrate derived from starch. It is a popular choice among athletes for its ability to provide rapid energy. Ideal for a quick and efficient energy boost.

This product may contain traces of peanuts. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

What is BCAA?

BCAA (Branch Chain Amino Acids), or branched amino acids. BCAA include the three most important branched amino acids that your body cannot make itself. That is why they are called essential amino acids. BCAA are used for muscle building and fat loss. Recommended for strength and endurance athletes, but also for anyone who wants to lose weight but does not want to lose muscle.
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA Powder) are the building blocks of protein and are an essential supplement regardless of your goals.
BCAAs are a popular supplement that have been studied for over half a century as a therapeutic for a variety of muscle-building disorders, but it's only since the 1980s that sports nutritionists have explored their use to enhance performance. While many exercisers will be familiar with the term BCAAs, few truly understand what they are and the many benefits they can provide, especially if you participate in demanding exercise.
In this article, we’ll take an in-depth look at BCAAs (branch chain amino acids), and some of the research that supports their use. You’ll then begin to understand why Ripped8 BCAA is such a great product, and how it can benefit you.
Amino acids are the 'building blocks' that together form the various proteins the body needs for many important functions, including tissue growth and repair, and energy production.
Branched chain amino acids (BCAA powder) are a group of three essential amino acids consisting of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which make up about one-third of skeletal muscle protein and account for 40% of the total amino acids required by the body. They are grouped together because they all have a branched molecular structure and perform many similar functions.
Ripped8 BCAA Powder is fast acting and easy to absorb and contain. Designed for athletes and can be used at any time of the day, including immediately before or after training.

Why should I buy BCAA?

BCAAs are most commonly used by both strength and endurance athletes. This is because BCAAs have a positive effect on muscle growth, muscle regeneration and fat burning. But even if you are not looking for big muscles, essential amino acids can have a significant impact on your performance. For example, if you are on a diet or do not eat meat. People who eat only plant foods need 20% more protein to meet their protein needs. This is because plant foods contain less high-quality protein.

BCAAs have an anabolic effect on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and decreasing the rate of protein breakdown. Additionally, BCAAs are broken down to provide energy during fasting to help preserve muscle mass.

* BCAA Benefits
* These essential amino acids have more benefits than just muscle. They also provide:
* More muscle endurance.
* The structure of our muscles.
* Energy supply to our muscles.
* Better protein synthesis
* More muscle strength, then less muscle pain.
* Fat and weight loss.

When do you use BCAA?

Your body is dependent on external care. BCAAs are mainly found in meat and dairy products. If you eat a healthy and varied diet, you do not need additional supplies in principle. In other cases, additional supplies are required. For example, during intensive training or weight loss or if you only eat herbal products. In the meantime, it has been shown that leucine, one of the three BCAAs, actually contributes to more muscle mass. BCAA also promotes fat loss. People who want to lose weight without losing muscle can consider Ripped8 BCAA.
BCAAs can be taken before, during, and after exercise. When taken before a workout, BCAAs can help increase energy levels and reduce fatigue. While consuming them during a workout can help maintain energy levels and reduce muscle soreness. When consumed after a workout, BCAAs can enhance recovery and promote muscle protein synthesis.


Who is BCAA recommended for?

BCAA is recommended if you want to achieve more as a strength and endurance athlete. BCAAs not only provide more muscle strength and better recovery, they also contribute to better performance and better fat loss. You usually get enough BCAA, where after the slice of five you eat a healthy and varied diet. If you eat too little because you want to lose weight or your macros are not correct, then you may get too little BCAA. People who follow a strict diet can lose muscle because they do not get enough essential amino acids from their diet. Athletes who follow an intensive cardio program can also consider adding BCAA to prevent muscle loss. If the body does not get enough calories, it not only breaks down fat, but also converts (muscle) protein into glucose.
Leucine is important for protein synthesis and many other functions, including blood sugar regulation, muscle and bone growth and repair, growth hormone production, and wound healing. It also prevents muscle protein breakdown after trauma or severe stress. It is Leucine that signals the body to switch to an anabolic state where it begins to rebuild. The sooner your body receives this signal after exercise, the sooner it will switch from breaking down muscle to building and repairing it to ensure a complete and rapid recovery.

It may also help prevent muscle breakdown during exercise, thereby improving recovery.
Valine plays a role in muscle growth, tissue repair, and energy production. It also maintains mental strength, muscle coordination, and emotional calm.
BCAAs (Branch Chain Amino Acids) make up approximately 1/3 of skeletal muscle protein and account for 40% of the total amino acids the body needs. They play an important role in many processes, including muscle growth and repair, gut health, regulation of blood sugar and energy levels, immune function, muscle coordination, and mental state.
Supplementing with BCAAs has been scientifically proven to have numerous benefits. These include, but are not limited to, increasing muscle mass and strength, reducing muscle soreness after exercise, improving recovery after exercise, increasing endurance, boosting immunity, and promoting fat loss.

The Structure and Function of BCAAs

Amino acids are the 'building blocks' that together form the various proteins the body needs for many important functions, including tissue growth and repair, and energy production.
There are 20 amino acids identified in the human body that make up an estimated 2 million different types of proteins. Of these 20, 9 are called "essential" because they cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained from dietary sources.
BCAAs (Branch Chain Amino Acids) belong to this group and are the most common amino acids found in proteins. They consist of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which make up about 1/3 of skeletal muscle protein and account for 40% of the total amino acids the body needs. They are grouped together because they all have a branched molecular structure and perform many similar functions.

BCAAs and Muscles

BCAAs have an anabolic effect on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and decreasing the rate of protein breakdown. Additionally, BCAAs are broken down to provide energy during fasting to help maintain muscle mass. Unlike most other amino acids, the initial breakdown of BCAAs does not occur in the liver, but rather in skeletal muscle. This means that they increase rapidly in the bloodstream after being consumed and are immediately available to non-liver tissues such as muscle, making them critical for skeletal muscle anabolism, and ideally suited as a dietary supplement targeting the muscles and brain.

More than just the building blocks of muscle
BCAAs are a special class of amino acids. In addition to playing a crucial role in stimulating skeletal muscle protein synthesis and suppressing muscle protein breakdown, they also play a crucial role in the regulation of energy balance, aging, food intake, glucose and fat metabolism, gut health, immunity, and have been linked to body weight regulation. Additionally, leucine is involved in cholesterol synthesis and is therefore important for cell membrane integrity and cellular communication.

What does science say about BCAAs, exercise and performance?
BCAA supplementation is supported by numerous scientific studies demonstrating the wide variety of performance benefits it can provide. These include, but are not limited to:
* Increasing muscle mass
* Increasing muscle strength
* Reduction of exercise-induced fatigue
* Increase endurance
* Improve immunity
* Reduction of muscle pain after exercise
* Improve recovery after strength training
* Helps prevent weight gain and promote fat loss


The Effect of BCAAs on Immunity

Our immune system is fundamental to our health, well-being, and ultimately our ability to exercise and achieve the highest levels of fitness and performance. While exercise generally has a positive effect on immune function, participation in repeated bouts of strenuous exercise can lead to immune dysfunction, increasing the risk of disease.
Many supplements have been proposed to support the immune system with varying degrees of effectiveness. Now, evidence is beginning to emerge demonstrating the ability of BCAAs to enhance immune function, particularly for those engaged in demanding exercise.
Not only does BCAAs aid recovery and reduce muscle soreness, they also have a positive impact on immune function by increasing certain types of immune cells in response to exercise. This led the authors to conclude that BCAAs are a useful supplement for both muscle recovery and immune regulation in athletes.


Why Ripped8 BCAA?
Ripped8 is a high strength 2:2:1 ratio of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine that is rapidly absorbed by the body. This is essential for optimal recovery and muscle growth, especially when taken immediately before and after training.
While all BCAAs play important roles in the body, leucine has the greatest impact on our ability to build muscle protein because it signals the body to switch to an anabolic state. The sooner your body receives this signal after exercise, the sooner it will switch from breaking down muscle to building and repairing it to ensure a full and rapid recovery. Leucine is so important that the International Institute of Sport's Nutrition specifically points to this single amino acid in its position on protein intake and exercise.
