Product details
Where this label sits
The Genius Brand Energized BCAA is one of the amino formulas in the Scoop Sense database. Every active ingredient on the panel is listed with its own dose — nothing is hidden inside a blend total. It runs 21 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
- Vegan BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) · 5 g. Fermented, instantized branched-chain aminos in a 2:1:1 ratio studied for supporting muscle recovery.
- L-Glutamine · 3 g. The most abundant free amino acid in muscle tissue, commonly added to recovery formulas.
- Citicoline (as Cognizin) + Rhodiola rosea extract · 250 mg + 200 mg. Studied for supporting mental focus and reducing perceived fatigue during exercise.
- Caffeine (from Coffea arabica bean extract) · 100 mg. A moderate dose studied for supporting alertness and perceived energy during training.
Flavors & sweetener
Grape Limeade and Power Orange, naturally flavored and sweetened.
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. The added caffeine makes it double as a light pre-workout — count it toward your daily total. 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.

Caffeine100 mg
50% of the low end of the studied range0studied range 200 mg–400 mg450 mg
Performance studies most often use 3–6 mg per kg of body weight, which works out to roughly 200–400 mg for most adults. The FDA cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults.

Leucine2.5 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. Higher-leucine servings sit at the top of that span rather than beyond it.
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”
Common questions about The Genius Brand Energized BCAA
How much caffeine is in The Genius Brand Energized BCAA?
100 mg per full labeled serving — roughly 1.1 small cups of coffee. The FDA cites about 400 mg per day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults, and coffee, tea, and energy drinks count toward the same total.
Is The Genius Brand Energized BCAA an EAA or a BCAA product?
BCAA-only: it supplies the three branched-chain aminos (5 g per serving) but not the other six essential amino acids that full-EAA formulas include.
Does The Genius Brand Energized BCAA disclose every dose?
Yes — the label lists an individual amount for each ingredient, with no proprietary blends. That is what the "label fully disclosed" tag on Scoop Sense means, and it is what lets each dose be compared against the amounts used in published research.
