InnoBio® BCAA – A Clear Solution for Nutraceutical Drinks

Branch chain amino acids (BCAA) are essential supplements used by elite athletes for recovery from exercise and to enhance exercise performance. BCAA’s are called essential because they only come from the diet. Now the health conscious consumer can supplement their diet with BCAA’s using convenient sports beverages and ready to drink powders. Convenience and good sensory characteristics are the keys to the success of a BCAA containing product. Historically BCAA products dissolved poorly, tasted bitter, and tended to foam when mixed. BCAA products have also been known to change color when mixed with other ingredients due to a browning reaction.
