Product details
Where this label sits
Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino Hydrate is one of the amino formulas in the Scoop Sense database. The label uses at least one proprietary blend, so a blend total stands in place of the individual amounts inside it. It runs 32 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- L-Leucine · 3.6 g. The essential amino acid most studied for triggering muscle protein synthesis after training.
- BCAA 2:1:1 blend (total) · 7.2 g. The full branched-chain trio, combined here for supporting recovery and reducing training soreness.
- Electrolyte, L-glutamine and citrulline malate blend · included, not individually itemized. Sodium, potassium, and calcium for hydration alongside glutamine and citrulline for blood flow support.
Flavors & sweetener
Seven flavors including Icy Blue Raz, Fruit Burst, and Green Apple; zero sugar and zero calories.
Who it's best for
A BCAA-only formula — three of the nine essential amino acids, which suits taste-driven intra-workout sipping more than protein replacement. Skip it if you want every individual dose disclosed on the label. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.
-
Leucine3.6 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 0.7 g–3 g4 g
The ISSN position stand puts an acute protein dose at 700–3000 mg of leucine, and about 1–3 g per meal as the amount needed to stimulate protein translation.
Source: Jäger et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition 2017 — “Acute protein doses should strive to contain 700–3000 mg of leucine and/or a higher relative leucine content”
-
Citrullineundisclosed
This label does not state citrulline on its own — it sits inside “Electrolyte, L-glutamine and citrulline malate blend”, disclosed only as a combined included, not individually itemized. A combined total is not a dose of anything named inside it, so there is nothing here to compare against the research. Studied amounts run 6 g to 8 g.
Source: Gough et al., European Journal of Applied Physiology 2021 — “The most commonly employed dose of CM is a single acute 8 g dose”
One or more amounts on this label sit inside a proprietary blend, so the individual doses behind the blend total cannot be compared at all.
Common questions about Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino Hydrate
Is Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino Hydrate an EAA or a BCAA product?
BCAA-only: it supplies the three branched-chain aminos (7.2 g per serving) but not the other six essential amino acids that full-EAA formulas include.
What does the proprietary blend in Applied Nutrition BCAA Amino Hydrate hide?
The BCAA 2:1:1 blend (total) lists 7.2 g as a combined total. A blend total tells you the sum of its ingredients, not the individual doses inside it — which is why blend entries can't be checked against studied amounts.
