Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or under medical supervision, consult your doctor before use. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Store out of reach of children.
Key Benefits
BCAAs and Glutamine
5000mg Leucine, 1250mg Isoleucine, 1250mg Valine, and 5000mg Glutamine in one product for complete intra-workout and recovery support.
4:1:1 Leucine Formula
Higher leucine ratio than standard 2:1:1 BCAAs increases muscle protein synthesis signalling for a stronger anabolic response.
Gut Health Support
5000mg Glutamine replenishes gut and muscle stores, supporting intestinal integrity alongside muscle recovery benefits.
Flexible Timing
Effective intra-workout or post-workout depending on your preference - provides comprehensive amino acid support at either time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I still need a separate glutamine supplement if I use HIT BCAA 4:1:1?
Probably not. Each serving of HIT BCAA 4:1:1 already includes 5,000mg of L-glutamine, which is a full supplemental dose. The standalone DY Glutamine product provides 4,500mg per serving for comparison. Unless you are looking for a higher daily glutamine intake during particularly brutal training phases, the 5g included here should cover most recovery needs.
When is the best time to take HIT BCAA 4:1:1 + Glutamine?
Most people use it either intra-workout (sipped during training) or immediately post-workout. During training, the BCAAs provide anti-catabolic support and the glutamine helps preserve muscle tissue. Post-workout, the leucine supports muscle protein synthesis while glutamine kicks off the recovery process. If you train fasted, intra-workout use becomes particularly important to limit muscle breakdown.
How does HIT BCAA 4:1:1 compare to the HIT BCAA 10:1?
The 4:1:1 formula focuses on balanced recovery with 5g leucine and 5g glutamine but no additional performance ingredients. The 10:1 formula prioritises maximum leucine at 10g per serving and adds 3g citrulline malate, 2g beta-alanine and 1g tyrosine for intra-workout performance, but contains no glutamine. Choose the 4:1:1 for recovery and immune support, or the 10:1 for leucine-heavy training performance.
