🔬 WHAT'S INSIDE FACTION LABS CORE 9?

Core 9 combines essential amino acids with electrolytes and other ingredients commonly used in sports nutrition formulations.

The manufacturer's current 50-serve formula highlights the following ingredients and quantities per serve.

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS (EAAs)

Essential amino acids are amino acids the body cannot produce in sufficient quantities and therefore must obtain through food.

There are nine essential amino acids:

• Histidine
• Isoleucine
• Leucine
• Lysine
• Methionine
• Phenylalanine
• Threonine
• Tryptophan
• Valine

Core 9 contains all nine.

L-LEUCINE: Leucine is one of the three branched-chain amino acids.

It is naturally found in protein-containing foods and is also included in various amino acid supplements.

GLYCEROL POWDER (65%): Glycerol is an ingredient found in some powdered sports nutrition formulations.

TAURINE: Taurine is a naturally occurring compound present in the body and in certain foods. It is also used in a variety of sports nutrition products.

HIMALAYAN PINK SALT: Himalayan pink salt is a source of sodium chloride. Sodium is an electrolyte naturally present in the body and commonly included in sports drinks and electrolyte formulas.

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS: Core 9 contains additional amino acids, electrolytes and flavouring ingredients.

Check the physical product label for the complete ingredient list, nutritional information and quantities, as these may differ between product versions.

🏋️ EAAs VS BCAAs — WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

You might have seen both EAAs and BCAAs on supplement labels, but what's the difference?

ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS (EAAs)

• Include nine amino acids.
• Must be obtained through the diet.
• Are naturally present in complete protein sources.
• Include the three BCAAs.

BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (BCAAs)

• Include three amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine.
• Are a subgroup of the essential amino acids.
• Are naturally found in foods containing protein.

WHERE DOES CORE 9 FIT IN?

Core 9 contains all nine EAAs, including the three BCAAs.

This makes it different from products containing only the three branched-chain amino acids.

However, amino acid supplements aren't a replacement for adequate dietary protein.
