Mutant BCAA 9.7 - Sweet Iced Tea (348 g)

Mutant BCAA 9.7 is an amino acid drink powder in a 348 g tub with 30 scoops. This listing is the Sweet Iced Tea flavour.

Sweet Iced Tea flavour

Sweet Iced Tea is a lemon iced tea flavour, the most drinkable choice in the range for people who find fruit-candy flavours too sweet. Mixed at the full 500 mL it tastes close to a light bottled iced tea; at 250 mL it is more intense and sweeter. It is a good one to keep in the fridge in a large bottle for a hot day or a long session.

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.
