BCAA Blast

  This is one of the few BCAA products that we can get fully behind. While some BCAA-containing supplements contain a solid flavor, miscibility, or collection of amino acids, few of them are able to combine all three. A scoop (15 grams) of BCAA Blast contains 55 calories, no fat, cholesterol, or sodium. The 5 grams of carbs which are present per-scoop are combined with SNI’s proprietary Ethyl Ester Recovery…
