Transparent Labs BCAA Glutamine delivers 8,000mg of fermented, vegan-friendly BCAAs in the evidence-based 2:1:1 ratio (4g Leucine, 2g Isoleucine, 2g Valine), plus 5,000mg of L-Glutamine, 1,500mg of Vitamin C, and 1,000mg of Coconut Water Powder for electrolyte support. If you're serious about improving body composition, building muscle mass, accelerating recovery, and staying hydrated before, during, and after training, BCAA Glutamine is an all-natural, potently dosed formula built around clinically effective doses rather than a diluted proprietary blend. Zero artificial sweeteners (no acesulfame potassium, no sucralose), zero artificial dyes, zero added sugars, and no unnecessary fillers. Fermented, gluten-free, non-GMO. Available in 7 flavors, including an Unflavored option for anyone who wants to add it to any beverage without altering the taste. Mix 1 scoop with 10-12oz of cold water 30-45 minutes before, during, or immediately after training. For best results, take at least 2 servings daily; do not exceed 4 servings per day. 30 servings per container.†

2:1:1 — Why This Ratio and Not Equal Parts
This 2:1:1 ratio is widely regarded as the most optimal BCAA count, especially regarding the role BCAAs play in protein synthesis. Of the three branched-chain amino acids, Leucine is the key regulator of muscle protein synthesis — it directly activates the mTOR pathway, the primary signaling cascade that initiates muscle protein synthesis. The suggested "threshold" for Leucine intake to maximize muscle building is commonly cited at 2-3 grams; at 4,000mg (4g) per serving, Transparent Labs delivers well above this threshold on its own, before accounting for dietary protein intake elsewhere in the day. Isoleucine and Valine, at 2,000mg each, round out the ratio — Isoleucine supports glucose uptake and energy production during exercise, while Valine contributes to muscle metabolism and tissue repair alongside its role in preventing muscle breakdown during intense training.†
Fermented, Not Animal-Derived — A Genuine Sourcing Distinction
Many BCAA supplements source their amino acids from animal byproducts (commonly duck feathers or human hair, processed through acid hydrolysis) — a detail most brands don't highlight. Transparent Labs specifically uses fermented, vegan-friendly BCAAs instead, produced through a bacterial fermentation process similar to how certain foods and beverages are made, rather than animal-derived extraction. This makes the product genuinely appropriate for vegans and vegetarians, not just those avoiding gluten or GMOs.†
5,000mg L-Glutamine — The Ingredient That Sets This BCAA Apart
Given their positive influence on post-workout recovery, BCAA supplements have become a staple in many nutritional regimens — but Transparent Labs BCAA Glutamine takes the formulation further by including a full 5g dose of Glutamine, a nonessential amino acid that works productively with BCAAs to improve muscle recovery and potentially prevent delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Glutamine is the most concentrated (most abundant) free amino acid in human muscle and blood plasma — crucial for cell function and growth throughout the body, not just skeletal muscle. By enhancing protein synthesis and muscle tissue development, Glutamine works alongside the BCAA 2:1:1 ratio to help refill glycogen stores, support immune function, and reduce muscle soreness more comprehensively than BCAAs alone would achieve.†
Coconut Water Powder — 1,000mg — Natural Electrolyte Support
1,000mg of Coconut Water Powder provides naturally occurring electrolytes — including sodium, potassium, and magnesium — that help regulate fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contractions. Since sweat during prolonged exercise depletes these same electrolytes, this inclusion supports proper hydration for optimal physical performance directly alongside the amino acid content, rather than requiring a separate electrolyte product to cover this dimension.†
1,500mg Vitamin C — Beyond Just Antioxidant Support
Vitamin C at 1,500mg contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue — genuinely useful during periods of intense training when both immune function and perceived fatigue can be compromised. Vitamin C also supports normal collagen formation for the function of cartilage and bones, adding a joint and connective tissue health dimension to a product primarily built around muscle recovery.†
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I take BCAA Glutamine — before, during, or after training?
Any of the three timing windows work. Mix 1 scoop with 10-12oz of cold water 30-45 minutes before training, sip during training, or take immediately after — the formula is specifically designed for pre-, intra-, or post-workout use.†Why does the label recommend at least 2 servings daily?
Transparent Labs' "for best results" guidance of at least 2 servings daily reflects the total daily amino acid intake needed to fully realize the recovery and muscle-building benefits documented for BCAAs and Glutamine — a single serving is beneficial, but consistent, higher total daily intake produces more pronounced recovery effects.†Are these BCAAs actually vegan?
Yes — Transparent Labs specifically uses fermented, vegan-friendly BCAAs rather than the animal-derived (duck feather or human hair-sourced) amino acids common in many competing BCAA products. This is genuinely appropriate for vegans and vegetarians.†Is BCAA Glutamine appropriate for tested athletes?
Yes — BCAAs, Glutamine, Vitamin C, and Coconut Water Powder are not prohibited by WADA or NCAA. These are naturally occurring amino acids and nutrients with no stimulant or hormonal activity.†
How to Take Transparent Labs BCAA Glutamine
Combine 1 level scoop with 10-12oz of cold water (or any beverage of choice) 30-45 minutes before, during, or immediately after training. For best results, take at least 2 servings per day.
