NOW Foods BCAA Big 6 Powder Watermelon Flavor 600g

NOW® BCAA Big 6 is an advanced, caffeine-free sports powder that delivers a full 5 grams of branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) plus 1.5 grams of betaine in every refreshing watermelon-flavored serving. The BCAAs support muscle protein synthesis and recovery, while betaine (trimethylglycine) is included to support hydration, cellular energy and exercise performance. Because it's stimulant-free, you can use it any time of day — before, during or after training — without affecting your sleep or stacking on top of other caffeine.*

About the key ingredients

• BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine) – 5 g: The three essential BCAAs that support muscle protein synthesis and recovery from training.*
• Betaine (Trimethylglycine) – 1.5 g: A compound that supports hydration, cellular energy and exercise performance.*
• Other ingredients: A naturally watermelon-flavored powder, caffeine-free.

Who it's for

NOW® BCAAs are a great fit for athletes, strength trainers, endurance athletes and active adults who want to support muscle recovery, endurance and lean-muscle maintenance around their workouts. They appeal especially to those training in a fasted state or cutting calories, when preserving muscle matters most, as well as anyone looking to reduce workout fatigue and bounce back faster between sessions. BCAAs are commonly taken before, during or after exercise, and the flavored powder makes an easy intra-workout drink.*
