Raw sport Maintain Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are of the highest quality, vegan friendly and informed sport certified. Derived from sunflower seeds, our 2:1:1 ratio compares to how BCAA are found in nature. Our unique blend of BCAA and coconut water powder help fuel the toughest workouts.
Raw Sport Maintain is a Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) and coconut water formula, designed to support muscle and hydration. Optimise muscle mass and decrease muscle soreness with Raw Sport Maintain pre/during exercise to enhance performance and drastically reduce fatigue. BCAAs have been scientifically proven to accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness and improve the use of fat for energy during exercise. The branched chain amino’s are essential amino acids that need to be obtained through diet. If we Metaphorically think of amino acids within muscle as a pool that is continually exhausted by physical excursion, it is beneficial to keep the pool full to the brim by feeding the body a constant supply of BCAA pre-intra-post work out to maintain muscle mass and speed recovery periods

Why Take
Maintain BCAA?
Put simply, Maintain is the best product of it’s kind on the sports market. It tastes great, contains ingredients that are ethically sourced and delivers amino’s in the perfect ratio the human body needs. Maintain is unique in comparison to many BCAA supplements. In addition to the BCAA, Maintain delivers an abundance of natural electrolytes from coconut water powder and grey sea salt, with added freeze dried beetroot powder to increase blood flow and freeze dried strawberry powder that has antioxidant properties to further support the recovery process.
Who would take a BCAA supplement? BCAA's are ideal to use during a workout in the gym. Fuelling the muscles with a constant supply of branch chain amino acids immediately activates protein synthesis, which helps with muscle repair and growth. Any type of athlete can benefit from taking BCCA for recovery. Taking during or post exercise combats muscle related fatigue.
We have selected a 2:1:1 ratio as foods from nature have this exact balance. It is vital not to create amino acid imbalances. Over supplementation of leucine, found in high quantities in many BCAAs, can cause high levels of ammonia to accumulate in the body, placing a strain on the liver and kidneys. High doses have also been found to cause hypoglycaemia and gastrointestinal side effects. The ethics behind the manufacture of BCAAs is important to raw sport and our customers. The majority of the BCAA products on the market are derived from duck feathers, GMO’s, animal hair or even human hair. We use an instantised 2:1:1 BCAA derived from vegan fermented sunflower. Instantised differ from standard BCAAs due to their water solubility, making them far more applicable in the sports beverage market. To give the amino acids their soluble quality, they undergo spray drying with lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier; allowing the BCAA to dissolve readily in water. We only use sunflower lecithin as an emulsifying agent, which has all the benefits of soy lecithin, without any of the allergenic properties.

Research shows nitric oxide increases blood flow by opening up blood vessels allowing more oxygen to working muscles. Beetroot has been shown to improve lung function and strengthen muscle contraction.
Grey sea salt
Salt is an essential electrolyte that is lost through physical excursion. It is added to support sodium balance within the body throughout the toughest workouts. Balance of the cellular sodium potassium pump is essential to maintain performance levels and avoid cramping and fatigue.
Stevia extract
We use a tiny amount of stevia extract to enhance the flavour. Stevia is herb from South America that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Unlike sugar it has zero calories and doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugars. Stevia is a superior sweetener that doesn’t have a negative effect on gut bacteria.
