Learn how to use BSc's EAA+ supplement during your workout for optimal hydration, muscle support, and performance without added sugars or carbs.
Quick answer
Mix one scoop of EAA+ with water and sip it steadily throughout your workout to maintain hydration and supply essential amino acids to working muscles.
Why choose EAA+ over plain water or sports drinks?
Plain water replaces lost fluid but doesn't provide the amino acids your muscles use during exercise. Traditional sports drinks often pack sugar and calories you may not want. EAA+ from BSc Europe delivers essential amino acids to support muscle building while hydrating—without added sugars or significant carbs. This makes it a practical choice if you're watching your intake but still want performance support.
When to use EAA+ during a workout
The best time to start sipping EAA+ is about 10–15 minutes after you begin your session. Your body has already used some glycogen and amino acids, and the supplement can help delay fatigue. For sessions lasting over an hour, continue sipping every 15–20 minutes to maintain a steady supply of fluids and EAAs.
How to use EAA+ for intra-workout hydration
- Step 1: Mix your serving: Add one scoop of EAA+ powder to 500–750 ml (17–25 oz) of cold water in your shaker or water bottle. Shake well until fully dissolved. Common mistake: Adding too little water makes the drink overly concentrated and may cause stomach discomfort during exercise.
- Step 2: Start sipping 10 minutes into your workout: Begin drinking about 10–15 minutes after you start exercising. Take small sips every 10–15 minutes rather than gulping large amounts at once. Checkpoint: If you're doing high-intensity intervals, sip more frequently (every 5–8 minutes) to keep up with fluid loss.
- Step 3: Adjust to your session length: For workouts up to 60 minutes, one serving is usually enough. For longer sessions, consider mixing a second serving in a separate bottle and drinking it during the second half. Common mistake: Finishing the entire bottle in the first 20 minutes—you'll run out of hydration support before your workout ends.
