Olimp BCAA Xplode Powder 500g Orange

One serving of Olimp BCAA Xplode Powder (10g) contains 6g of BCAAs and 1g of L-glutamine. The BCAAs are present in a 2:1:1 ratio (3g L-leucine, 1.5g L-valine, 1.5g L-isoleucine).
There is also a variant of the product, BCAA Xplode Powder 20:1:1, in which one serving (7.2g) contains 5g of BCAAs. However, the L-glutamine content is not explicitly listed in the sources found for this specific variant.

The ideal time to take Olimp BCAA Xplode Powder depends on your individual training goals. To support training performance and limit muscle breakdown, the powder can be taken before training. To promote muscle regeneration, it is recommended to take it after training. Some athletes also take BCAAs before a meal to improve amino acid balance or before going to bed.

Olimp BCAA Xplode Powder in orange flavor is ideal for a sugar-free diet, as it contains no sugar per serving and is instead sweetened with natural sweeteners to keep the carbohydrate content to a minimum. The added vitamin B6 provides valuable support during intense training phases, as this vitamin significantly contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. This is particularly important for the body to efficiently utilize the ingested amino acids and optimally utilize energy reserves in the muscles. Furthermore, vitamin B6 helps reduce symptoms of tiredness and fatigue, thus increasing concentration and endurance during strenuous workouts. It also supports the immune system and energy metabolism, helping the body remain resilient even under high physical stress.

The L-glutamine in Olimp BCAA Xplode Powder supports regeneration by contributing to the faster repair of microtrauma (small tears in muscle tissue) that occur during training. Glutamine also has a positive effect on reducing fatigue during the recovery phase.
The specific 2:1:1 ratio of amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) supports muscle maintenance during a calorie-restricted diet as follows: - Muscle protection: During a diet, the body tends to burn muscle fibers for energy. BCAAs serve as an alternative energy source, so the body doesn't have to resort to its own muscle protein.
- Leucine content: This ratio emphasizes leucine, which acts as a pacemaker for protein synthesis and promotes the maintenance and growth of muscle mass through the activation of the mTOR signaling pathway.
- Anti-catabolic effect: The combination protects against catabolic (muscle-wasting) processes that are intensified by a calorie deficit and intensive training.
