BCAA Lemonade
PMD
Overview
PMD BCAA Lemonade offers a solid BCAA dose in a proven 2:1:1 ratio, which is well-supported for muscle protein synthesis and recovery. The additional vitamins, minerals, and other amino acids provide synergistic benefits. However, the exact effectiveness of the 'Amino Catalyst Complex' and 'Hydra-Pump Blend' is difficult to assess due to their proprietary nature and lack of disclosed individual ingredient dosages within these blends.
The Good
Effective BCAA Ratio and Dose (2:1:1, 4g total) supports muscle recovery and protein synthesis.
Contains key vitamins (C, B6, B12) at ample dosages for energy metabolism and immune support.
Includes essential electrolytes (Calcium, Potassium) to aid hydration.
The Bad
Reliance on proprietary blends ('Amino Catalyst Complex' and 'Hydra-Pump Blend') obscures individual ingredient dosages.
Many beneficial ingredients within proprietary blends are likely underdosed (e.g., Taurine, HICA, CoQ10, Ribose, Salvia miltiorrhiza) given the total blend amounts.
Presence of artificial sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium) and artificial colors (FD&C Yellow 5) may be undesirable for some consumers.
