Transparent Labs BCAA Glutamine is the all-natural solution for active individuals and athletes looking to accelerate muscle recovery, reduce muscle fatigue, and support muscle protein synthesis—all while staying hydrated during workouts. Each serving of this deliciously refreshing formula provides 8,000 mg of fermented, vegan-friendly branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the evidence-based 2:1:1 ratio, plus 5,000 mg of L-glutamine, 1,500 mg of vitamin C, and 1,000 mg of coconut water powder.
Unlike many BCAA supplements, our BCAA is enriched with Glutamine and doesn't contain animal-derived amino acids, added sugars, artificial sweeteners (e.g., acesulfame potassium and sucralose), artificial food dyes, or unnecessary additives.

SHIPPING INFORMATION
Key Ingredients
Our formulas are made with clean, natural ingredients, with clinically-validated dosages to support health and performance.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) 2:1:1
8,000 mg
BCAAs are a group of essential amino acids that promote muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle soreness, enhance performance, and support recovery during and after intense workouts.
L-Glutamine
5,000 mg
A conditionally essential amino acid that aids muscle recovery, boosts immune function, and replenishes depleted glutamine stores.
Vitamin C
1,500 mg
A powerful antioxidant that supports recovery by mitigating exercise-induced inflammation.
Coconut Water Powder
1,000 mg
As a natural source of electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, coconut water promotes hydration and replenishes essential minerals lost during intense workouts.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) 2:1:1
8,000 mg
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids—L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine—that play an integral role in muscle protein synthesis, the process by which cells create new muscle proteins (which is necessary for muscle recovery and hypertrophy). While there are nine essential amino acids, L-leucine is widely regarded as the “master regulator” of protein synthesis [1].
Supplementing with a 2:1:1 ratio of BCAAs (leucine: isoleucine:valine) post-workout can mitigate the severity of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and decrease muscle damage markers, such as creatine kinase [2]. Further evidence indicates that BCAA supplementation may improve endurance and muscle strength by reducing rates of perceived exertion and increasing lactate thresholds during exercise [3, 4].
Additionally, BCAAs can help protect against muscle protein breakdown during weight-loss phases [5, 6].
L-Glutamine
5,000 mg
L-glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in human muscle and plasma; however, it is a conditionally essential amino acid for active gym-goers and athletes since intense and long-duration exercise can deplete glutamine stores in the body [7].
Studies show that glutamine supplementation helps improve muscle glycogen synthesis, gut health, and immune function in active individuals, making it useful for muscle recovery and performance [8, 9, 10]. Research has shown that glutamine also plays a key role in protein synthesis despite being a non-essential amino acid [11].
Vitamin C
1,500 mg
Exercise may produce higher amounts of inflammation than the body’s natural antioxidant capabilities can counteract, leading to tissue damage and reduced muscle contractility
Vitamin C has also been shown to help combat the oxidative stress and inflammatory response to exercise, supporting faster recovery [12, 13]
Coconut Water Powder
1,000 mg
Coconut water is one of Mother Nature’s most dense sources of electrolytes and trace minerals.
Coconut water powder removes the sugary and fatty constituents of coconut water while retaining the essential electrolyte micronutrients, such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and sodium. Due to its abundant electrolyte profile, coconut water can rapidly rehydrate after intense exercise, making it ideal for pre-, intra-, and post-workout supplementation [14].
