Product features.
A good fit for Comparing a flavoured amino-acid and mineral drink with clearly identified serving quantities.
- The tub identifies 5g BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio, separating the amino-acid amount from total powder weight.
- Its 9.5g serving and 28-serving pack make the selected flavour and portion straightforward to compare.
BCAAs are not a complete dietary protein. Evidence does not consistently show extra performance benefits when adequate high-quality protein is already consumed.
Check the exact version, pack size and seller terms before buying.
The details that matter.
- Checked flavour and pack
- Strawberry Kiwi; 266g tub; 28 servings
- Retailer serving
- 9.5g, approximately two rounded scoops, with 350ml water
- Declared BCAAs
- 5g per serving; leucine, isoleucine and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio
- Declared electrolyte total
- 374mg per serving; not a sodium-only figure
- Other ingredients
- Vitamin C, magnesium, zinc and Rhodiola rosea root extract
- Compare total dietary protein before adding isolated amino acids. More BCAAs do not automatically mean better recovery.
- The added minerals and botanical require review alongside other supplements and medicines; the whole blend has its own suitability questions.
- Check the current Strawberry Kiwi ingredients and allergen panel. Do not transfer specifications from the separately sold Elite range.
