Mutant BCAA 9.7 - Blue Raspberry (348 g)

Mutant BCAA 9.7 is an amino acid drink powder in a 348 g tub with 30 scoops. This listing is the Blue Raspberry flavour. The name comes from the 9.7 g of amino acids in each 11.6 g scoop: 7.2 g of instantized branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in a 2:1:1 ratio of L-leucine, L-valine and L-isoleucine, plus 2.5 g of other amino acids. A scoop lists 0 g of carbohydrate and 0 g of sugar.

Licensed uses

Mutant BCAA 9.7 is licensed by Health Canada as a natural health product, NPN 80024445. Source of essential amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine for the maintenance of good health. L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are involved in protein synthesis. Help to assist in muscle cell repair after exercise.

What is in a scoop

The Blue Raspberry Supplement Facts panel lists 0 calories, 50 mg of magnesium from magnesium oxide and 5 mg of sodium per scoop. The 2.5 g amino stack is taurine, glycine, L-glutamine, L-arginine and L-tyrosine. A 120 mg blend of eight electrolytes follows: magnesium oxide, potassium citrate, sodium citrate, tricalcium phosphate, calcium lactate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium citrate and sodium chloride. Each scoop also has 5 mg of BioPerine black pepper extract (98% piperine). "Instantized" means the BCAAs are processed to disperse in cold water instead of floating on top.

Blue Raspberry flavour

Blue Raspberry is a sweet and tart candy flavour coloured with Blue 1. Sucralose and acesulfame potassium sweeten it, malic acid adds the sour edge, and a little MCT oil and sunflower lecithin keep the powder from caking in the tub. The panel lists tree nut (coconut, from the MCT oil). It is made in a facility that also handles milk, wheat, egg, peanut, soy and hazelnut.

How to use it

Mix one scoop with 250 to 500 mL (8 to 16 fl oz) of cold water and shake or stir. The dose on the licence is one scoop a day for adults. On training days most people sip it during the session; on rest days it can be sipped through the day instead. More water gives a lighter taste and less water a more intense one. A scoop disperses after about ten seconds of shaking, and a mixed bottle can sit in the fridge for the rest of the day.

With no carbohydrate or sugar, it fits in a second water bottle next to a protein shake or a pre-workout without adding to your carb count for the day.
