Ingredients and Usage Recommendations: ON Gold Standard BCAA is a premium intra-workout amino acid formula from Optimum Nutrition, designed to help support endurance, immunity, and muscle preservation during intense training. Each serving delivers 5 grams of branched-chain amino acids in the optimal 2:1:1 ratio (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine) alongside key electrolytes, vitamin C, magnesium, and an advanced blend of support ingredients such as rhodiola extract and wellmune® beta-glucans. Unlike standard BCAA formulas, Gold Standard BCAA is developed to be sipped during training, providing sustained amino acid flow, supporting immune defense, and helping to reduce fatigue and muscle breakdown. It contains zero sugar, is low in calories, and is free from stimulants, making it suitable for both strength and endurance athletes. This formulation is especially valuable during calorie restriction, long-duration cardio, or intense hypertrophy phases where muscle tissue is more vulnerable to breakdown. Ingredients (Latin names in descending order by weight):
L-Leucinum (L-Leucine)
L-Isoleucinum (L-Isoleucine)
L-Valinum (L-Valine)
Acidum Malicum (Malic Acid – flavor enhancer)
Aromata Naturalia et Artificialia (Natural and Artificial Flavors)
Colorantium Naturale (Natural Coloring – varies by flavor)
Note: Depending on flavor, ingredients such as Potassium Citrate, Calcium Silicate, and Silicon Dioxide (anti-caking agents) may also be present.

During resistance or endurance training
Between meals on training or non-training days
During fasting or calorie-restricted protocols
