Price alone is not an indicator of quality, but in this case, despite its affordable price (€9.99), the product offers a solid 8 g of BCAA (4 g of leucine) per serving, which is more than some pricier products in this category. The composition is transparent and contains no artificial colors. The main drawback isn't the BCAA dose itself, but the lack of publicly available independent lab testing results, which is common at this price point but means purity and the absence of contaminants can't be verified from publicly accessible sources.

No, the label explicitly states that the product contains soy, so it is not suitable if you have a diagnosed soy allergy. We recommend carefully checking the full ingredient list on the packaging before use and consulting a doctor or allergist if in doubt.

For non-training days, the manufacturer recommends one dose in the morning on an empty stomach. This isn't scientifically essential – the main proven benefit of BCAA is reducing muscle soreness and muscle damage associated with exercise itself (Fouré and Bendahan, 2017), so the effect on rest days is less clearly established. If you already have sufficient protein intake from food, you can skip the supplement on non-training days without significantly affecting recovery.

In healthy adults, at recommended doses, BCAA do not pose a known direct risk to blood sugar regulation. Observational studies have linked chronically high BCAA intake (mainly from whole diet, not just supplements) with impaired insulin sensitivity, but a causal link with short-term supplementation in otherwise healthy individuals has not been conclusively proven. If you have diabetes or insulin resistance, consult a doctor before starting any amino acid supplement.
