Ghost BCAA V2 - Blue Raspberry, 345g (30 Serves)

Ghost BCAA V2 - Blue Raspberry, 345g (30 Serves) is a vegan amino acid powder from Ghost, sitting in NZ Supps' Amino & BCAA range for lifters who train several times a week and want recovery support without dairy or added sugar. Each scoop carries 7000mg of fermented 2:1:1 branched-chain amino acids, split across leucine, isoleucine and valine, so the ratio behind the classic BCAA research is built into a single sugar-free scoop. At $43.96 NZD for 30 servings, it works as a standalone sipper through the day or as the amino backbone of a training-day stack.

How Ghost Amino & BCAA works

Branched-chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, are the three amino acids skeletal muscle can use directly as fuel and as a building signal, instead of being routed through the liver first the way most other amino acids are. Leucine carries the largest share of that signalling job: it activates the mTOR pathway, the cellular switch that tells muscle tissue to start protein synthesis. Ghost BCAA V2 - Blue Raspberry leans on that mechanism by loading 3500mg of instantised L-leucine per scoop, the biggest single dose in the 2:1:1 ratio, alongside 1750mg each of L-isoleucine and L-valine to keep the full amino profile in proportion rather than isolating leucine on its own.

What sets this formula apart from older BCAA powders is the sourcing. The aminos in Ghost BCAA V2 are vegan fermented rather than pulled from feathers or animal hair keratin, which is how a lot of cheaper BCAA powders are made. AstraGin, included at 25mg per serve, is a combination of astragalus and Panax notoginseng root extracts studied for supporting amino acid uptake in the gut, so it works alongside the BCAAs rather than acting as a standalone active. Together with the fermentation process, it is aimed at getting the same 2:1:1 ratio into your system in a form plant-based lifters can use without checking the label twice.

Why choose Ghost BCAA V2

Ghost BCAA V2 - Blue Raspberry earns its place in a stack because the numbers on the panel back up the claims. Nothing here is padded with filler or hidden behind a vague proprietary blend name, and every active dose is spelled out in milligrams on the label.

• 30 calories and 1g total carbohydrate per 11.5g scoop, low enough to sip through a session without touching a calorie target
• 40mg of sodium per serve, useful if you are already tracking electrolyte intake around longer training days
• Coloured with spirulina powder rather than a synthetic dye, one of the few ingredients in the formula doing a job beyond bulking it out

Getting the most from it

Ghost BCAA V2 - Blue Raspberry works whenever aminos are useful, not only inside a training window. Sip it during a session to keep amino levels topped up, or pour a scoop over ice as a plain sugar-free drink between meals. It also slots into a stack alongside a pre-workout on training days and a creatine for the strength side of a programme. Because it carries no caffeine or stimulant, the timing is flexible, so it does not need to be built around a workout clock the way a stimulant pre-workout does. If blue raspberry is not the flavour you are after, the rest of the Amino & BCAA range carries the same 2:1:1 ratio in different profiles.
