Today we are testing the BCAA powder from Conan Nutrition.
Conan Nutrition is a German company that specializes in products for hardcore athletes. All hardcore products come with 100% transparency advertised, which is very welcome in the opaque supplement market. 100% transparency means that all ingredients are listed in detail on the labels. Quantities and country of origin are a given.
But back to the BCAA Powder. Die BCAAs be of Conan Nutrition produced in 3 different variants. In the ratio of leucine, isoleucine and valine: 2.1.1 / 4.1.1 and 10.1.1.
Today we are testing the 2.1.1 variant. Further tests will follow.
packaging
The BCAAs are offered in cans of 500 g each and in 5 different flavors.
The packaging is hermetically insulated, which guarantees constant quality over a longer period of time.
I was particularly interested in the Conan Nutrition BCAAs label. As promised, all ingredients are listed individually with precise details and country of origin. For that a big point to the Conan team. Unfortunately, there are few companies that surprise with such transparency.
The active ingredients
First, of course, BCAA in the ratio 2.1.1.
The amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine have fallen into disrepute lately. Studies have been published attempting to prove that BCAA have no effect on protein synthesis.
Some “would-be” experts misinterpreted and published the study results. The point was that the three amino acids, when taken in isolation, have no effect on muscle growth. That's right, but who only eats BCAAs?
The body needs all 20 amino acids to produce a positive protein balance. The amino acids are stored in the body in the amino acid pool and used from there by the body as required. Therefore, it does not matter whether you eat the amino acids individually or as a protein. It is much more important that the BCAAs and especially leucine are stored in excess, because leucine plays a major role in the transport of amino acids into the cell.
The amino acids are in an instant form which guarantees very good solubility.
taste
BCAA powders are used in 5 flavors offered. Today we are testing the cherry flavor. Here's the next surprise: It really tastes very fruity, like a vitamin drink. The excellent taste makes you want to drink more. And you look forward to the next portion.
It used to be said that BCAAs have to taste bitter as a sign of quality. Conan Nutrition shows us that both are possible: Super quality and excellent taste. Thanks to the team!
My taste buds love you.
solubility
Because it is an instant product, the solubility is 1A. A scoop in the glass, stirred once and that's it
Fazit.
A great product that you simply have to recommend. The values and the quality are 1A. The taste, a pleasure that is addicting. My 100% recommendation. Thanks to the Conan Nutrition team. Keep it up!!!!!
