Product Summary
If you’re planning on adding BCAAs to your nutritional regime, Transparent Labs’ BCAA Glutamine powder may be for you. Available in five flavors, this powder is formulated with leucine, isoleucine, valine, glutamine, and coconut water extract designed to stimulate protein synthesis, and support reduced muscle fatigue and increased muscle growth.
True to the brand name, the ingredient list on this product offers full transparency so you know exactly what you are putting into your body. Transparent Labs recommends taking one scoop mixed with 10-12 ounces of cold water 30-45 minutes before, during, or after your workout twice a day. Consumers report that the product mixes well enough but does dissolve better in tepid water.
Free from artificial coloring, sweeteners, and preservatives, Transparent Labs BCAA Glutamine is sweetened with Stevia. Stevia can cause digestive issues and the taste may be too sweet for some. The overall taste of this product is reportedly mediocre but it gets the job done and is tolerated by the vast majority of users.
