No synthetic colours, and 100% fermented vegan aminos from plant-based sources rather than the processed animal by-products some cheaper BCAA supplements quietly use. 390g \/ 30 serves, in stock at EatMe Supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's In Every Scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8g BCAAs in 2:1:1 ratio\u003c\/strong\u003e — leucine, isoleucine and valine at clinical doses.

Many cheaper BCAA supplements source their aminos from processed feathers or hair, which is both less clean and considerably less appealing. Fermented vegan aminos are a higher quality source that avoids those concerns entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat does BioPerine® actually do?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBioPerine® is a patented black pepper extract (piperine) studied for its ability to enhance absorption of the nutrients it's combined with, with reported increases varying widely depending on the nutrient. At 5mg it sits at the clinically relevant dose rather than being a token addition to the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I stack it with a pre-workout?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Hardcore BCAA contains no stimulants, so it stacks cleanly with any pre-workout. Take your pre-workout and sip the BCAAs through your session for combined energy and amino support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 100% fermented vegan aminos from plant-based sources, no synthetic colours, and no animal by-products in the amino blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does it compare to an EAA product?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBCAAs are three of the nine essential aminos — leucine, isoleucine and valine. EAAs cover all nine. Hardcore BCAA is deliberately high-dosed on the three most critical for muscle protein synthesis and recovery, with support aminos (glycine, glutamine, alanine) rounding out the profile. If you want the complete nine-amino profile plus a larger electrolyte load, a dedicated EAA formula is the better fit. If you want the highest BCAA dose for the money, this is it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutant","offers":[{"title":"390g | 30 Serves \/ Blue Raspberry","offer_id":51039342231719,"sku":"TMUM7108S","price":49.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"390g | 30 Serves \/ Peach","offer_id":51039342264487,"sku":"TMUM7109S","price":49.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"390g | 30 Serves \/ Pineapple","offer_id":51039342297255,"sku":"TMUM7110S","price":49.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0440\/2420\/1383\/files\/mutant-hardcore-bcaa-topdog-nutrition-3688432.png?v=1785378806","url":"https:\/\/www.eatmesupplements.co.nz\/products\/mutant-hardcore-bcaa","provider":"Eat Me Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
