Mutant BCAA 9.7 - Tropical Mango (363 g)

Mutant BCAA 9.7 is an amino acid drink powder in a 363 g tub with 30 scoops. This listing is the Tropical Mango flavour. The name comes from the 9.7 g of amino acids in each 12.1 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.

What is in a scoop

The Tropical Mango Supplement Facts panel lists 0 calories, 80 mg of vitamin C as ascorbic acid, 50 mg of magnesium from magnesium oxide, 35 mg of sodium and 30 mg of potassium per scoop. The 2.5 g amino stack is taurine, glycine, L-glutamine, L-arginine and L-tyrosine, and a 240 mg blend of eight electrolytes follows. Each scoop also has 5 mg of BioPerine black pepper extract (98% piperine). The mango tub is 363 g rather than 348 g because its scoop is slightly heavier, at 12.1 g.

Tropical Mango flavour

Tropical Mango is a ripe, sweet mango flavour. Tartaric and malic acid give it a tart finish, sucralose and acesulfame potassium sweeten it, and red beet powder and beta-carotene give the drink its orange colour. 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.
