Mutant Hardcore BCAA - Peach (390 g)

Mutant Hardcore BCAA is a branched-chain amino acid powder with added electrolytes, sold in a 390 g tub with 30 scoops. This listing is the Peach flavour. Each 13 g scoop has 8 g of vegan fermented BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio: 4000 mg of L-leucine, 2000 mg of L-valine and 2000 mg of L-isoleucine.

What is in one 13 g scoop

Next to the 8 g of BCAAs sits a 1700 mg amino stack of glycine (900 mg), L-glutamine (500 mg) and L-alanine (300 mg), for a 9.7 g amino blend in total. The electrolyte side adds 135 mg of sodium from sodium citrate and sea salt, 90 mg of potassium, 63 mg of magnesium from Albion magnesium bisglycinate and magnesium oxide, and 60 mg of calcium. BioPerine black pepper extract supplies 4.75 mg of piperine.

Where the BCAAs come from

Mutant states that the BCAAs in this formula are 100% plant-based and produced by fermentation from root vegetables, so the powder has no animal-derived amino acids. The only allergen named on the label is tree nut, from the coconut-based MCT oil.

Peach flavour

Peach is a light, sweet stone-fruit flavour. Malic acid gives it a tart edge, sucralose sweetens it and there is no sugar. The Canadian Peach tub carries bilingual English and French packaging with the same 390 g and 30-serving figures.

How to use it

Mix one scoop with cold water in a shaker or water bottle. Less water makes a sweeter drink and more water a lighter one. Mutant suggests sipping it during training or afterwards, and some people stack a scoop with a pre-workout such as Mutant MADNESS before the gym. On a schedule of one scoop per day, a tub lasts 30 days.

The tub is sized for a month of single scoops. On harder training weeks, two scoops a day halves that to 15 days, so check the fill line before a block of long sessions. Keep the lid closed tightly, since the powder takes up moisture in a humid gym bag.

Because each scoop carries electrolytes as well as amino acids, a lot of people use it in place of a plain sports drink during long or hot sessions. It has no caffeine, so it can be used in the evening.
