Why EAAs Instead of BCAAs
Your body cannot make the nine essential amino acids, so they have to come from food or supplements. BCAAs cover three of them, which is why a BCAA-only drink is an incomplete signal for building muscle protein. Precision EAAs gives you all nine in one scoop, with leucine leading at 3.3g. That makes it a useful choice for fasted training, long sessions, or the gap between meals when a full protein shake is too heavy.†
L-Leucine 3,334mg
Leucine is the amino acid most closely tied to switching on muscle protein synthesis. A 3g-plus dose sits in the range most research uses for that effect. Isoleucine and valine complete the 2:1:1 BCAA ratio. Together the BCAAs make up two thirds of the formula.†
The Remaining Six EAAs: 3.3g
Lysine, threonine, phenylalanine, methionine, histidine and tryptophan fill out the full essential profile. Muscle protein synthesis needs all nine present, not just leucine. Lysine and threonine carry the largest doses of the six. This is the main reason an EAA formula supports recovery better than a BCAA formula on its own.†
Coconut Water and Electrolytes
Each scoop adds 145mg of sodium and 188mg of potassium plus coconut water. That turns your training water into a light electrolyte drink. It will not replace a dedicated hydration product on a long, hot session. It does help an intra-workout bottle do more than one job.†
Frequently Asked Questions
-
When should I drink Precision EAAs?
Most people sip one scoop during training. You can also take it between meals or first thing in the morning before fasted cardio. Hi-Tech allows an optional second scoop after training. Consistency matters more than exact timing.† -
Does it replace a protein shake?
No. At 10g of EAAs and 5 calories, it is a training drink, not a meal. A protein shake still gives you more total protein and calories. Use EAAs where a full shake would be too heavy or would break a fast.† -
Is there caffeine in it?
No caffeine is listed in the published facts. That makes it easy to pair with your usual pre-workout. You can also drink it in the evening without worrying about sleep. Check the label on your tub to confirm. -
What does it taste like and how does it mix?
Precision EAAs comes in six flavors: Blue Raspberry, Fruit Punch, Rocket Pop, Sour Gummy, Strawberry Lemonade and Watermelon. Mix one scoop in 8 to 10 oz of water, or more for a lighter taste. Like most amino powders, it mixes best with a shaker rather than a spoon. Ask our staff which flavor they reach for.
How to Take Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Precision EAAs
Mix 1 scoop with 8 to 10 oz of cold water and drink during training or between meals. An optional second scoop can be taken after training. Do not exceed 2 scoops per day. If you are pregnant or nursing, see a physician before use. The same applies if you have a medical condition or take prescription medication.
