Product Information

Full details

MyProtein Impact EAA is designed for active individuals and athletes seeking to supplement their protein intake with essential amino acids without adding calories or sugar. Its key benefit is the rapid absorption of all nine essential amino acids, crucial for muscle growth and maintenance. A potential caveat is that it's a supplement and should complement, not replace, a balanced diet. This product provides a blend of all nine EAAs, featuring a 4:1:1 ratio of BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) for enhanced muscle support.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What are essential amino acids?

Essential amino acids are those that your body needs for protein synthesis, muscle growth, and repair, but cannot produce on its own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation.

Who should use Impact EAA?

Active individuals, athletes, and anyone looking to support muscle growth and recovery without adding extra calories or sugar to their diet can benefit from Impact EAA.

Can I take Impact EAA with Impact Whey Protein?

While both provide amino acids, Impact EAA is designed for faster absorption. Some users may choose to take them at different times (e.g., EAA during workout, Whey post-workout) or combine them if their goals align and nutritional intake is managed.

Is Impact EAA suitable for vegans?

Yes, Impact EAA is a synthetic blend of amino acids and is suitable for vegan and vegetarian diets, offering a convenient source of EAAs that can be challenging to obtain in sufficient quantities from plant-based foods alone.

How much water should I mix with Impact EAA?

A general guideline is to mix one serving with 200-300ml of water or your preferred beverage. Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your desired consistency and taste.

What is the 4:1:1 ratio in Impact EAA?

This refers to the ratio of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. The 4:1:1 ratio means there are four parts Leucine for every one part Isoleucine and one part Valine, reflecting Leucine's significant role in muscle protein synthesis.

How does Impact EAA differ from BCAA supplements?

BCAA supplements typically contain only the three branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine). Impact EAA contains all nine essential amino acids, providing a more comprehensive profile for muscle support.

Troubleshooting

Product does not dissolve completely

Ensure you are using enough liquid and shaking vigorously. Allow a minute for the powder to hydrate before consuming. Using a shaker bottle can help achieve a smoother mix.

Taste is not as expected (unflavoured)

The unflavoured version has a neutral taste that some may find bland. Try mixing it with a small amount of juice or a flavoured beverage to improve palatability.

Clumping in the container

This can occur due to moisture. Ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use and stored in a dry environment. Small clumps can often be broken up with a spoon.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Impact EAA is a powder supplement and requires simple preparation. Mix one serving (as per product instructions) with 200-300ml of water or your preferred beverage. Shake well until fully dissolved. For best results, consume within 30 minutes before, during, or after your workout. Store the product in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to maintain freshness. It is compatible with most liquids and can be mixed with other supplements, provided you are aware of the combined nutritional intake. Always refer to the specific serving size recommendations on the product packaging.
