Raw Sport Maintain is a Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) and coconut water formula, designed to support muscle and hydration. Optimise muscle mass and decrease muscle soreness with Raw Sport Maintain pre/during exercise to enhance performance and drastically reduce fatigue. BCAAs have been scientifically proven to accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness and improve the use of fat for energy during exercise. The branched chain amino’s are essential amino acids that need to be obtained through diet. If we Metaphorically think of amino acids within muscle as a pool that is continually exhausted by physical excursion, it is beneficial to keep the pool full to the brim by feeding the body a constant supply of BCAA pre-intra-post work out to maintain muscle mass and speed recovery periods
WHY TAKE? BCAAS
Put simply, Maintain is the best product of it’s kind on the sports market. It tastes great, contains ingredients that are ethically sourced and delivers amino’s in the perfect ratio the human body needs. Unlike the majority of BCAA supplements, we have formulated a blend that delivers an abundance of natural electrolytes from coconut water powder and grey sea salt, with added freeze dried beetroot powder to increase blood flow and freeze dried strawberry powder that has antioxidant properties to further support the recovery process.
Who would take a BCAA supplement? BCAA's are ideal to use during a workout in the gym. Fuelling the muscles with a constant supply of branch chain amino acids immediately activates protein synthesis, which helps with muscle repair and growth. Any type of athlete can benefit from taking BCCA for recovery. Taking during or post exercise combats muscle related fatigue.
We have selected a 2:1:1 ratio as foods from nature have this exact balance. It is vital not to create amino acid imbalances. Over supplementation of leucine, found in high quantities in many BCAAs, can cause high levels of ammonia to accumulate in the body, placing a strain on the liver and kidneys. High doses have also been found to cause hypoglycaemia and gastrointestinal side effects. The ethics behind the manufacture of BCAAs is important to raw sport and our customers. The majority of the BCAA products on the market are derived from duck feathers, GMO’s, animal hair or even human hair. We use an instantised 2:1:1 BCAA derived from vegan fermented sunflower. Instantised differ from standard BCAAs due to their water solubility, making them far more applicable in the sports beverage market. To give the amino acids their soluble quality, they undergo spray drying with lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier; allowing the BCAA to dissolve readily in water. We only use sunflower lecithin as an emulsifying agent, which has all the benefits of soy lecithin, without any of the allergenic properties.
WHEN TO TAKE?
Mix 1 serving ( 3 teaspoons, approximately 5g BCAA) with 100ml water in a RAW Sport™ Shaker Bottle. Consume pre/during training or, alternatively, sip multiple servings throughout the day.
