ethyos - BCAA 300 g
Purpose and overall profile
ethyos - BCAA is an amino-acid focused powder designed to complement active lifestyles and training routines. It combines a BCAA blend (2:1:1) with additional essential amino acids to broaden the amino-acid spectrum. The formula also includes vitamin B6 to support normal energy and amino-acid metabolism. Flavouring, acidifier, and sweetener are included for palatability.
Sports performance-oriented amino acids
The core of the formula is a BCAA blend of L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. These amino acids are commonly used in sports nutrition to support workout-day supplementation strategies. The product can be used before, during, or after training depending on personal preference and total daily protein intake. It is intended to complement, not replace, a balanced diet.
Muscle-focused nutrition support
Alongside BCAAs, the formula includes L-lysine, L-threonine, L-methionine, and L-phenylalanine, which are essential amino acids obtained from the diet. This combination can help users who want a convenient way to add amino acids when meal timing is challenging. The blend is particularly relevant for individuals who track protein intake or follow structured training plans. Results depend on overall diet, training stimulus, and recovery habits.
Energy and amino-acid metabolism support
Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride) contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and supports normal protein and glycogen metabolism. It also contributes to normal amino-acid metabolism, aligning with the product’s amino-acid composition. Including B6 helps position the formula as more than a single-ingredient BCAA product. The dose is provided in a standard supplement form.
Taste system and mixability components
Maltodextrin is used as a carrier to support powder handling and consistency. Citric acid provides acidity and helps shape the flavour profile, while natural flavour and lemon powder contribute to taste. Sucralose is included as a sweetener to balance tartness. These ingredients are included for product experience rather than as primary actives.
How the ingredients work together
The BCAA blend provides the central sports-nutrition focus, while the added essential amino acids broaden the overall amino-acid intake profile. Vitamin B6 complements the formula by supporting normal metabolic processes related to protein and energy. The flavouring system is designed to make regular use more practical, especially around training. For best fit, consider total daily protein intake, hydration, and overall dietary quality.

Vantaggi
Sports Performance
This formula provides a concentrated blend of essential amino acids, led by a BCAA blend (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine) plus L-lysine, L-threonine, and L-methionine, designed to complement training nutrition. It can be used around workouts or between meals to help meet amino-acid intake targets when dietary protein is inconsistent. Vitamin B6 (from pyridoxine hydrochloride) supports normal amino-acid metabolism as part of the overall formulation.
Muscle Health
BCAAs (2:1:1) and additional essential amino acids (including L-phenylalanine and L-threonine) are commonly used to support muscle-focused nutrition alongside resistance training. This product can be used as a convenient amino-acid source when aiming to maintain adequate daily protein and amino-acid intake. The blend is intended for general wellness and performance-oriented routines rather than as a replacement for balanced meals.
Energy Metabolism
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine hydrochloride) contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and supports normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Combined with the amino-acid profile, it fits into routines where users want nutritional support for training days and active lifestyles. Maltodextrin is included as a carrier and contributes to the overall powder matrix.
Amino Acid Metabolism
The formula includes multiple amino acids (BCAAs plus L-lysine, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-methionine, and L-tryptophan), which are building blocks used by the body in many metabolic pathways. Vitamin B6 is included as a cofactor nutrient that supports normal amino-acid metabolism. This makes the product suitable for users who want a targeted amino-acid supplement format in addition to dietary protein.
Nervous System Support
Vitamin B6 contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function, providing a general wellness support angle within the formula. L-tryptophan is included as an essential amino acid that is commonly discussed in relation to neurotransmitter precursor pathways, though individual responses vary. This benefit is secondary to the product’s primary sports and muscle-oriented positioning.
