BCAA SUPPLEMENT Winner Reflex BCAA Intra Fusion ‘For those using BCAAS, Reflex offers the correct dosage (10g) and 2:1:1 ratio of amino acids. This has been demonstrated in research to be the correct amount of BCAAS needed to have an effect on muscle recovery – many products are dosed too low or with the wrong ratio. All in a powder that creates a pleasant-tasting mid-workout drink.’ Rick Miller
