Basic Supplements BCAA - Candy Burst, 306g (30 Serves)

Basic Supplements BCAA - Blueberry Lemonade, 306g (30 Serves) is a stim-free amino and electrolyte powder from Basic Supplements, built for the Amino & BCAA shelf rather than pre-workout or protein. It suits anyone training in a calorie deficit, training fasted, or simply wanting recovery support without added sugar getting in the way. Each scoop covers the three branched-chain amino acids in the standard 2:1:1 ratio, with real electrolytes and a disclosed B-vitamin blend alongside them, at 5 calories a serve. A 306g tub holds 30 x 10.2g scoops, so a daily serve lasts close to a month of consistent sessions.

How Basic Supplements Amino & BCAA works

Basic Supplements BCAA - Blueberry Lemonade delivers 3500 mg of L-leucine per scoop, the amino acid most directly tied to muscle protein synthesis. Leucine is the primary trigger for the mTOR signalling pathway, the mechanism your body uses to switch on tissue repair after a session. Isoleucine and valine round out the profile at 1750 mg each, keeping the classic 2:1:1 branched-chain ratio intact. Isoleucine plays a role in glucose uptake into working muscle, and valine is one of several amino acids that compete with tryptophan for transport across the blood-brain barrier, which is part of why lifters reach for BCAAs to manage perceived fatigue mid-session.

Alongside the aminos, each scoop carries 250 mg of sodium, 200 mg of potassium and 240 mg of chloride, replacing some of what training sweat removes over a long session. The B-vitamin blend runs through niacin at 15 mg (94% DV), vitamin B6 at 1 mg (58% DV), folate at 300 mcg DFE (75% DV) and vitamin B12 at 2 mcg (83% DV), cofactors involved in energy metabolism rather than muscle repair directly, but useful to have covered if your diet is otherwise tight. At 5 calories and 1 g of carbohydrate per serve, Basic Supplements BCAA - Blueberry Lemonade sits comfortably inside a cut or a fasted training block without adding meaningfully to your daily totals.

Why choose Basic Supplements BCAA

Basic Supplements BCAA - Blueberry Lemonade is built around disclosure rather than a proprietary blend. Every active carries an exact milligram figure on the panel, so you know what you're taking scoop to scoop instead of trusting a combined total. That matters most if you already track macros closely and don't want a mystery blend eating into your numbers.

• 5 calories and 1 g of carbohydrate per 10.2 g scoop, so it adds almost nothing to daily intake during a cut or a fast.
• A B-vitamin spread covering 94% DV niacin, 83% DV B12, 75% DV folate and 58% DV B6 in a single scoop.
• 306g tub portioned into 30 x 10.2g scoops, so the dose stays identical from the first serve to the last.

Getting the most from it

Most lifters mix Basic Supplements BCAA - Blueberry Lemonade into a shaker before training and sip it through the session, so the aminos and electrolytes are available while you're actually lifting rather than arriving afterward. If you already run a shake from the protein range post-session, BCAA fills the gap earlier in the day instead of duplicating it, since a serve carries a fraction of the calories. Training fasted or first thing in the morning is where the amino and electrolyte combination earns its place, covering hydration and amino availability before you've eaten.

It also sits well next to a creatine or pre-workout routine rather than replacing either. Creatine builds phosphocreatine stores over weeks and a pre-workout formula covers the acute energy and focus side of a session, so BCAA's job stays narrow: aminos and electrolytes while you train. Browse the wider amino and BCAA range if you want to compare formats before deciding, or check electrolytes range if hydration across longer sessions is the main goal rather than muscle recovery.
