About Branched Chain Amino Acids
Branched chain amino acids are considered the most important amino acids for building muscle and increasing recovery. In free form, they are more rapidly absorbed which means the process of anabolism (building muscle) can begin more quickly. Branched chain amino acids can also have a direct effect on reducing delayed onset muscle soreness, which means down time between training sessions can be reduced.

What Is BCAA And What Do BCAAs Do? The Best BCAA Protein Supplement
At Bulk Nutrients we offer the best BCAA supplement in Australia with BCAA Recovery. Here’s why...
- BCAA Recovery combines a unique blend of ingredients that work to keep you anabolic during your workout and assist your recovery after.
- Contains a scientifically validated dose of BCAAs (10g) at the most verified ratio studied (2-1-1) which is considered the best BCAA ratio.
- Uses a high dose of Citrulline Malate which can improve muscular endurance.
- The additions of sodium, electrolytes and potassium help keep you hydrated.
What do BCAAs do?
Bulk Nutrients’ BCAA Recovery assists with muscle recovery, so you're ready for your next workout.
BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) have long been studied, showing benefits in reducing muscle soreness, faster recovery time, reduced creatine kinase (which is a good indicator of recovery) and a better retention of maximum muscular force.
Learn more about the effects BCAAs can have on your training intensity and duration in our article, BCAAs: What Are They And How Can They Help My Training?.
When’s the best time to take BCAAs?
We're glad you asked... simply mix 14.2 grams (approximately 3 standard teaspoons) into any amount of water you preferer, around 500ml is best to sip on while training.
Make sure to finish your drink by the end of training to get the BCAA benefits.
Great tasting flavoured BCAAs
Unlike many other BCAA supplements on the market, Bulk Nutrients' BCAA Recovery taste spectacular.
Our Tropical, Watermelon, Apple Raspberry and Lemonade flavours are refreshing and easy to drink during your workout or throughout the day.
We recently added a spectacular Lemonade flavour to our line-up, and yes, it's exactly as refreshing as it sounds.
BCAA Recovery includes Citrulline Malate to improve the effectiveness of BCAAs
Citrulline Malate is included because of its ability work in two ways:
- It's been shown to reduce muscles soreness and increase workout performance and capacity.
- It complements the BCAAs improving the body’s ability to utilise the BCAAs.
Supplementing with Citrulline Malate can also enhance the production of Arginine derived metabolites such as nitrite, creatinine, ornithine and urea.
Citrulline Malate has also shown to increase muscular endurance (which means better training sessions) as well as increasing ATP oxidation during exercise while reducing muscle soreness.
A BCAA blend for ultimate endurance and recovery
Combining BCAAs in a validated dose with high doses of Citrulline Malate means users are likely to reap optimal benefits from both compounds, resulting in the best recovery possible, while our hydration matrix ensures effective electrolytes levels.

Consume 14.2g [approximately 3 standard teaspoons) of BCAA Recovery.

I don’t know what it is but all your products have a certain chemical taste to them and always make me feel sick in the gym which is quite counterproductive lol

BCAA
I like this, I ordered the apple raspberry flavour and its nice. I have never tried BCAA's before so I cant compare but I feel like this is helpful during my workout. I don't mix it as strong as it suggests,
