Ghost Intra - Welch's Grape, 440g (20 Serves)

Ghost Intra - Sour Strip, 440g (20 Serves) is an amino and BCAA formula from Ghost, made for anyone training hard enough to feel it by the second half of a session. Each 22g scoop delivers a 6000mg BCAA blend alongside a spread of electrolytes, at only 10 calories. If you train fasted or push through long sessions, and want something to sip that isn't a stimulant, this sits in that gap. Twenty serves per tub, sour strip flavour, mixed with water and sipped across the workout rather than downed beforehand.

How Ghost Amino & BCAA works

Branched chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, are the three aminos most directly tied to muscle protein synthesis. Leucine in particular acts as a trigger for the mTOR pathway, the signalling route your muscles use to start building new tissue after a training stimulus. Ghost Intra carries 3000mg of leucine per scoop, alongside 1500mg each of isoleucine and valine, inside a 6000mg BCAA total. Sipping that during training, rather than waiting until after, keeps a supply of these aminos circulating while you're still under load instead of loading up only once the session ends.

Training also drains fluid and electrolytes, and that loss affects more than thirst. Sodium and potassium drive the pump that keeps nerve signals firing and muscles contracting properly, and when either runs low, output and focus can drop before you consciously notice. This formula pairs its amino load with sodium, potassium, magnesium, chloride and calcium, so hydration is addressed alongside the amino acids rather than as an afterthought. Taurine, included at 1000mg per scoop, works alongside these electrolytes and is commonly used in hydration-focused formulas for its role in cellular fluid balance.

Why choose Ghost Intra

A lot of amino products stop at three branched chain aminos and call it complete. This one doesn't. It carries all nine essential amino acids, so the six your body can't make on its own beyond the BCAAs, lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, histidine and tryptophan, are also accounted for in every scoop. That matters if you're using it as your main intra-workout support rather than a caffeine-free add-on to something else. A few details set Ghost Intra - Sour Strip apart from a standard BCAA mix:

• Only 10 calories and 2g of carbohydrate per 22g scoop, with 0g total sugars, so it fits inside a cut or a tracked macro day without much thought.
• 360mg of chloride, 16% DV, sits alongside the sodium and potassium, rounding out the electrolyte side beyond the usual two or three minerals.
• AstraGin, at 50mg, is included specifically to support absorption of the amino acids and other actives in the blend.

It also comes stimulant-free, which opens up how you use it. You aren't locked into pre-workout timing, and you aren't adding caffeine to caffeine if you already take a separate pre-workout before you train.

Getting the most from it

Mix one scoop of Ghost Intra - Sour Strip in water and drink it across your training session rather than before your first working set. That spreads the amino acids and electrolytes out over the hour instead of clearing the dose before you've done anything with it. Because it carries no caffeine, it sits well alongside a separate pre-workout, and it stacks cleanly with creatine if that's already part of your routine. Either combination keeps the stimulant and the intra-workout support doing separate jobs instead of overlapping.

If Ghost Intra - Sour Strip suits what you're after but the flavour isn't your preference, the wider amino and BCAA range carries the same formula in blue raspberry, lemon lime, orange squeeze and Welch's grape, so there's a reasonable chance one of the other four suits your taste better.
