Addict EAA+BCAA

How EAA+BCAA by Addict Sport Nutrition supports your objectives

🧬 All 9 essential amino acids — a truly complete anabolic stimulus Essential amino acids are those that the human body cannot synthesise and must obtain from food or supplements. All nine are required for muscle protein synthesis to proceed from initiation to completion. EAA+BCAA provides the full set in a single serving, making it functionally superior to BCAA-only products for supporting complete muscle protein synthesis, particularly when total dietary protein intake is suboptimal or protein quality is low (as in plant-based diets).

💪 BCAA 2:1:1 core for mTOR activation and anti-catabolism The 2430mg of leucine at the heart of EAA+BCAA activates mTOR — the molecular switch for muscle protein synthesis — while isoleucine (1210mg) supports glucose uptake during exercise and valine (1210mg) contributes to nitrogen balance and energy provision during effort. This BCAA core provides the anti-catabolic and anabolic signalling that athletes rely on BCAAs for, now embedded within a complete EAA framework.

🔄 Accelerated recovery and reduced muscle catabolism The combination of all nine EAAs supports faster muscle repair between sessions by ensuring amino acid availability is never the limiting factor in the reconstruction of damaged muscle fibres. The addition of lysine (1188mg) — a key structural component of muscle protein and an essential cofactor for carnitine synthesis — and threonine (which contributes to glycine and serine production) broadens the recovery benefits beyond what BCAAs alone can provide.

🧠 Tryptophan and histidine for broader systemic support Tryptophan is the precursor to serotonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for mood regulation and sleep quality — both directly relevant to training consistency and recovery. Histidine (301.5mg) is a precursor to carnosine, the intramuscular lactic acid buffer that supports high-intensity performance endurance. These two amino acids, absent from all BCAA products, contribute dimensions of benefit that extend beyond simple muscle protein synthesis.

💧 Near-zero calorie format for all training objectives With virtually no calories, no sugar and no fat, EAA+BCAA integrates seamlessly into any nutritional strategy regardless of training phase. It can be used during a caloric deficit without impacting energy balance, during a mass phase as a lean anabolic support, or during body recomposition as an intra-workout amino acid delivery tool.

🎯 Goal guide

🏋️ Mass gain: 1 serving during or post-workout. Maximises complete amino acid availability for muscle protein synthesis.

🔥 Weight loss / cutting: 1 serving during training. Complete EAA anti-catabolic protection at near-zero caloric cost.

⚖️ Body recomposition: 1 serving intra or post-workout. Full-spectrum EAA support for high-frequency training cycles.

Serving suggestion

Mix half a scoop (10g) in 300 to 400ml of cold water in a shaker bottle. Shake well and leave to stand for 30 seconds before drinking. Consume once per day during or after sporting activity. Not recommended for children, adolescents, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or people with sensitivity to any ingredient in the formula.

Best times to enjoy it

🏋️ During training (intra-workout) The primary use case: sipping EAA+BCAA throughout a training session maintains continuous availability of all nine essential amino acids during the effort, simultaneously providing anti-catabolic protection and a sustained anabolic signal throughout every set.

⚡ Immediately post-workout Consuming the full 10g serving within 30 to 45 minutes after training delivers a complete EAA dose during the peak anabolic window, when muscle protein synthesis is most responsive to amino acid availability.

🌅 Pre-workout (fasted training) For athletes training in a fasted state, taking EAA+BCAA before the session protects muscle protein from accelerated catabolism that occurs when glycogen reserves are depleted in the absence of dietary amino acids.

🥗 Between meals Unlike BCAAs, a full EAA formula can meaningfully substitute for a partial protein feeding between meals, maintaining amino acid availability during long gaps between food intake without the caloric load of a protein shake.

Daily protein target reminder

EAA+BCAA provides all nine essential amino acids but is not a substitute for total daily protein intake from complete food sources. Current sports nutrition science recommends 1.6 to 2.2g of protein per kg of body weight per day for active individuals. For vegan athletes, targeting the upper end (1.8 to 2.2g/kg) is advised.

Goal-specific guidance

For mass gain: Use EAA+BCAA intra-workout to maintain continuous amino acid availability throughout training, then follow with a complete protein shake (whey, plant protein) post-workout for full caloric and amino acid coverage. The EAA formula acts as a real-time anabolic signal during the session, while the post-workout protein provides the broader caloric and amino acid substrate for muscle reconstruction.

For weight loss and cutting: EAA+BCAA is particularly valuable during a caloric deficit because it provides the complete nine-amino acid stimulus for muscle protein synthesis at virtually zero caloric cost. This makes it superior to BCAA-only products for cutting phases, as it protects lean muscle mass more completely without adding meaningful calories. Take during training when catabolism risk is highest.

🏅 Sport Nutrition "Did you know?"

Tryptophan — one of the nine essential amino acids in EAA+BCAA — is the rarest of all essential amino acids in the human body and in dietary protein sources. It is present in smaller quantities than any other EAA, yet it plays an outsized role in wellbeing: it is the sole dietary precursor to serotonin and melatonin. Athletes who train at high volumes often experience disrupted sleep and mood fluctuations partly due to the competitive dynamics between tryptophan and other large neutral amino acids for entry into the brain. This is precisely why tryptophan is absent from most BCAA products — it competes for the same transporter as leucine, isoleucine and valine. In EAA+BCAA, it is present by design, contributing to a more complete amino acid profile than any BCAA formula can offer.

BCAA ratio breakdown

Bottle duration guide

Q1 — What is the difference between EAA+BCAA and Hardcore Recharge BCAA 10:1:1 from the same brand? Both products are amino acid powders, but they address different needs. Hardcore Recharge BCAA 10:1:1 provides only the three BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) in a 10:1:1 leucine-maximised ratio, making it ideal for athletes who want the highest possible leucine stimulus per serving. EAA+BCAA provides all nine essential amino acids in a complete and balanced profile (BCAA 2:1:1 plus the six remaining EAAs), making it better suited to athletes who want a self-sufficient amino acid formula that can fully support muscle protein synthesis from initiation to completion without requiring additional amino acid sources.

Q2 — Can EAA+BCAA replace a protein powder? Partially. A full EAA formula is functionally more complete than a BCAA product in terms of supporting muscle protein synthesis, as it provides all nine required essential amino acids. However, it does not provide the caloric density, the non-essential amino acids or the anabolic growth factors present in a complete protein source like whey. For maximum muscle growth and recovery, EAA+BCAA is most effective as a complement to a complete protein powder rather than a replacement. For athletes with very high protein intake from food, EAA+BCAA can serve as a convenient training-time amino acid top-up without the additional calories of a protein shake.

Q3 — Is EAA+BCAA suitable for vegans? Yes. The amino acids in this formula are produced through a fermentation process using plant-derived substrates, making them vegan-compatible. The formula contains no animal-derived ingredients and is suitable for vegan and vegetarian athletes. For plant-based athletes — who may have lower total amino acid intake or lower protein digestibility — a complete EAA formula like EAA+BCAA is particularly valuable, as it compensates for potential amino acid gaps in plant-based diets without adding animal-derived ingredients.

Q4 — When is the best time to take EAA+BCAA? The most effective timing is during and/or immediately after training. Intra-workout use provides continuous amino acid availability throughout the session, supporting both anti-catabolic protection and ongoing protein synthesis signalling. Post-workout use delivers the complete nine-amino acid stimulus during the peak anabolic window. Pre-workout use is most relevant for fasted training sessions where muscle catabolism risk is elevated. EAA+BCAA can also be used between meals as a low-calorie amino acid top-up when protein intake gaps are likely.

Q5 — How many servings does the 350g bottle provide and how long does it last? At 10g per serving, the 350g bottle provides exactly 35 servings. At one serving per training day, this represents approximately 5 to 7 weeks of use for athletes training 5 to 7 times per week, or up to 11 weeks for athletes training 3 times per week.
