BCAA + Glutamine 480 g

BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine is a comprehensive amino acid supplement combining 5,000 mg of BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine in a 2:1:1 ratio) and 5,000 mg of L-Glutamine per serving. It is designed to protect muscles from catabolism, support muscle mass growth, and accelerate post-workout recovery. It is intended for active athletes who need to replenish essential amino acids, as the body cannot synthesise them in sufficient quantities on its own.

BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine can be taken before, during, and after training. Pre-workout, it protects muscles from catabolism; during training (intra-workout), it continuously replenishes amino acids; and post-workout, it accelerates muscle recovery. The manufacturer recommends mixing one 12 g serving in 250 ml of water. The product has been specially designed as an intra-workout drink thanks to its refreshing taste, making it particularly well-suited for use during training.

The recommended dose is 1 heaped scoop (12 g) dissolved in 250 ml of water, taken before, during, or after training. Each serving contains 5,000 mg of BCAAs (2,500 mg L-Leucine, 1,250 mg L-Isoleucine, 1,250 mg L-Valine) and 5,000 mg of L-Glutamine. The powder is instant and dissolves easily without clumping. It is recommended to take one serving per day on each training day.

The 480 g tub contains exactly 40 servings (1 serving = 12 g). Training 5 times per week with one serving per session, the tub will last 8 weeks. With daily use, it will cover just under 6 weeks. Each serving delivers 5 g of BCAAs and 5 g of L-Glutamine, which is a clinically relevant quantity of amino acids for an active athlete with a demanding training programme.

The key difference lies in the L-Glutamine content. Standard BCAA products contain only the three branched-chain amino acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine), whereas BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine adds 5,000 mg of L-Glutamine per serving. L-Glutamine is a semi-essential amino acid that the body draws from muscle proteins during intense training – without replenishing it, muscle recovery slows down and the immune system may become weakened. The combination is more beneficial for those following demanding training regimens.

BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine does not contain any declared animal allergens according to the manufacturer's information. The product is free from milk, eggs, and other common animal-derived ingredients. BCAAs and L-Glutamine can be produced through fermentation, which is a widely accepted vegan-friendly process. For definitive confirmation of vegan suitability, we recommend contacting the manufacturer directly, as the exact source of the amino acids is not explicitly stated on the packaging.

No, BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine contains no allergens – the manufacturer explicitly confirms this in the nutritional labelling. The product is free from gluten, lactose, soy, nuts, and other common allergens. It is therefore suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or gluten sensitivity. The product is sweetened with sucralose and steviol glycosides and coloured with beta-carotene, which are widely tolerated additives considered safe for the vast majority of the population.

Yes, BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine can be safely combined with protein supplements, creatine, and pre-workout stimulants. BCAAs and L-Glutamine are amino acids that do not interact negatively with other common supplements. The recommended strategy is: BCAA + Glutamine during training, a protein shake post-workout, and creatine before or after training. The product contains no caffeine or stimulants, so it does not interfere with pre-workout products or cause any unwanted stimulant effects.

BCAA amino acids and L-Glutamine are generally well tolerated and safe when taken at the recommended dosage (12 g per day). Excessive intake or a sensitive digestive system may result in mild gastrointestinal discomfort, such as bloating. The sweeteners sucralose and steviol glycosides are well tolerated by most people. If you have a kidney or liver condition, or are taking any medication, consult your doctor before starting supplementation.

BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine is available in three flavours: pineapple-mango, melon, and orange. The product has been specially formulated as a refreshing intra-workout drink, so the flavours are designed for enjoyable sipping throughout your session. Customers rate the product an average of 4.9 out of 5, with taste being one of the most frequently praised qualities. The tangy, refreshing taste is achieved through a combination of citric acid and malic acid, together with the sweeteners sucralose and steviol glycosides.

The 2:1:1 ratio (L-Leucine : L-Isoleucine : L-Valine) is the scientifically validated standard for BCAA supplementation. L-Leucine is the primary activator of muscle protein synthesis via the mTOR signalling pathway – which is why it is present in double the quantity. BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine strictly adheres to this ratio: 2,500 mg of L-Leucine, 1,250 mg of L-Isoleucine, and 1,250 mg of L-Valine per 12 g serving, for maximum support of muscle protein synthesis and muscle protection.

The powder format offers several practical advantages over capsules. A 12 g serving in standard BCAA capsule form (750–1,000 mg per capsule) would require taking 12–16 capsules at once. Powder is absorbed more rapidly and functions directly as a refreshing intra-workout drink. Capsules, on the other hand, are more convenient for travelling. For active athletes training in the gym who require high doses of both BCAAs and glutamine, the powder format is more advantageous in terms of both convenience and cost per serving.

Yes, BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine is suitable for both women and men. BCAAs and L-Glutamine are amino acids required by every active individual, regardless of gender. Women particularly value the product for accelerating recovery, reducing muscle soreness (DOMS), and preserving lean muscle mass during a calorie deficit. The product contains no hormones or stimulants and does not affect hormonal balance. The dosage is the same for both men and women – 1 serving (12 g) per day.

BodyWorld BCAA + Glutamine is amongst the highest-rated BCAA products on the market, with an average rating of 4.9 out of 5. Customers particularly appreciate its excellent mixability as an instant powder, its great taste across three flavours, its high active ingredient content (5,000 mg BCAAs + 5,000 mg L-Glutamine per serving), and 40 servings per tub. The absence of allergens and the tried-and-tested 2:1:1 BCAA ratio are further strengths that buyers regularly highlight.
