Defend® BCAA is a reformulated version of the Defend Full Spectrum Amino Acid product. We have stripped out the full spectrum amino blend and replaced with a potent 7 grams of BCAA’s at a 2:1:1 ratio, containing micronized, Pepform® and free form amino acid.
If you’re lifting heavy and often and you want your muscles to grow to their maximum potential, you need to protect them from catabolic forces whenever possible. That means preventing muscle breakdown! The most basic, unavoidable reality when it comes to muscle growth is that you must ensure that more amino acids are entering the muscle tissue throughout the day than are leaving it.
To achieve this delicate but crucial balance, you’ve got to be regularly making the most important amino acids available to your muscles. Defend has been formulated with all of the most anabolic and anti-catabolic amino acids required by the human body in an unbelievable tasting powdered drink mix, so you’ll never be caught short when it comes to supplying your muscles with the most potent building blocks required for their growth and repair! Defend is designed to be used throughout the day, either with meals to enhance the amino acid profile of your diet or between meals as an anti-catabolic. It also makes a perfect Intra-Workout or Post-Workout supplement (along with your protein shake) as a broader spectrum alternative to BCAAs.
Take two (2) level scoops of Grenade Defend® powder with approx. 240mL water during, or immediately, after high intensity exercise.
Alternatively Grenade Defend® can be added to a water bottle and consumed throughout the day.
