ProSupps Hydro BCAA + EAA

ProSupps HydroBCAA + Essentials — 7g BCAAs, 10g EAAs, Plus Electrolytes

A full-spectrum amino formula rather than a BCAA product with extras bolted on. 7g of BCAAs at the researched 2:1:1 ratio inside a 10g total EAA dose, with added electrolytes for hydration. Zero sugar, zero carbs, vegan-friendly, caffeine-free. 30 servings. In stock at TopDog Nutrition.

Why EAAs Matter More Than BCAAs Alone

This is the single most useful thing to understand about amino supplements, and it's why HydroBCAA is built the way it is.

There are nine essential amino acids — ones your body can't manufacture and must get from food. BCAAs are three of them: leucine, isoleucine and valine.

Building muscle protein requires all nine. Leucine is the trigger — it activates the mTOR pathway that switches muscle protein synthesis on — but a trigger with no ammunition doesn't build anything. Supplying BCAAs alone signals the body to build without providing the other six amino acids it needs to actually do it.

Research bears this out: EAAs consistently outperform BCAAs alone for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. HydroBCAA delivers 10g of full-spectrum EAAs, with 7g of that as BCAAs at 2:1:1 — the trigger and the raw material together.

The 2:1:1 Ratio

Twice as much leucine as isoleucine and valine. That's the ratio used in the majority of the research, and it reflects the natural proportions found in muscle tissue.

• Leucine — directly activates mTOR and initiates muscle protein synthesis. The one that matters most.
• Isoleucine — supports glucose uptake into muscle cells and energy production during training.
• Valine — supports energy metabolism and may reduce the central fatigue signalling that makes long sessions feel harder.

Electrolytes

Hydration is the most underrated performance variable in training. Even mild dehydration measurably reduces strength output and endurance, and sweat carries sodium, potassium and magnesium out along with the water.

Water alone rehydrates but doesn't restore the electrolyte balance that muscle contraction and nerve signalling depend on. Building electrolytes into a drink you're already sipping through a session means one bottle instead of two.

Caffeine-Free, Which Opens It Up

• Alongside a pre-workout — aminos and hydration without doubling your stimulant load.
• Evening sessions — nothing that interferes with sleep.
• Long sessions — sipped over an hour or two without stacking stimulant on stimulant.
• Multiple serves daily — no caffeine ceiling to work around.

Vegan-friendly, so the aminos are fermented rather than animal-derived — worth noting, since some amino products source from duck feather or human hair keratin.

When It Genuinely Helps

Straight answer: if you're eating plenty of protein across the day, the marginal benefit of an amino supplement is modest. Whey protein already contains around 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs per serve.

Where HydroBCAA earns its place is fasted training, long sessions where a protein shake would sit heavily, cutting phases with restricted calories, and as a way of getting fluid and electrolytes in during a workout with amino support attached.

Directions

Mix one serving with cold water and sip during training. Also works pre-training, post-training, or across the day to raise total amino intake.

Caffeine-free, so timing is unrestricted — evening sessions included.

Frequently Asked Questions

BCAAs or EAAs — which do I need?

EAAs, and this product gives you both. BCAAs alone signal muscle protein synthesis without supplying the full set of amino acids needed to complete it. 10g of full-spectrum EAAs covers the whole requirement.

Does it replace protein powder?

No. 10g of free-form aminos is not 24g of complete protein. This supplements a diet that already contains adequate protein.

Can I stack it with a pre-workout?

Yes — a main use case. No caffeine means no doubling up. Pre-workout before, HydroBCAA during.

Is it suitable for vegans?

Yes, vegan-friendly with fermented aminos.

How many servings per tub?

30 servings.
