7g BCAAs, full EAAs, taurine, and real hydration support.
Kaymus Intra BCAA+EAA is a no-stim intra-workout drink that keeps your training on point. It focuses on what you need during the lift: aminos to build muscle, electrolytes for hydration, and stuff to keep your cells hydrated.
The aminos are the star. You get 3,500mg L-Leucine, 1,750mg L-Isoleucine, and 1,750mg L-Valine for 7g total BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio. Leucine kicks off muscle building by hitting mTORC1—a key pathway for protein synthesis. 3.5g is a good amount that beats the usual leucine needs in gym talk. It basically tells your muscles to repair instead of just breaking down. Isoleucine and valine round it out, keeping things balanced so you don't get weird from too much leucine alone.
This isn't just BCAAs— it adds the other EAAs: 1,000mg L-Threonine, 1,000mg L-Lysine, 500mg L-Histidine, 300mg L-Phenylalanine, 150mg L-Methionine, and 50mg L-Tryptophan. BCAAs start the build signal, but you need all nine EAAs to actually do the work. Leucine flips the switch, EAAs supply the bricks.
Taurine at 2,000mg is a standout. That's a real dose. It acts as an osmolyte—helping cells hold water and stay balanced. Studies show it boosts endurance. In long workouts or big sweats, it keeps you from feeling flat by improving cell hydration.

Key Highlights
- 3,500mg L-Leucine — this is the main trigger for muscle building, hitting mTORC1 to start protein synthesis. In gym terms, it's the amino that says 'hey, let's rebuild' after hard sets.
- 7,000mg total BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio — 3.5g leucine, 1.75g isoleucine, and 1.75g valine. This classic setup is solid because it matches what's proven in supps, avoiding the lopsided feel from leucine-only mixes.
- Full-spectrum EAAs, not just BCAAs — adds threonine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan on top of BCAAs. Way better than basic BCAA drinks since muscles need all nine EAAs to really repair, not just the branched ones.
- 2,000mg taurine — a legit dose, not just for show. It helps with cell hydration as an osmolyte and has studies backing endurance gains, perfect for sweaty, long workouts.
- 200mg sodium — a smart amount for intra use to keep fluids balanced, nerves firing, and muscles contracting. Sodium goes first in sweat, so this fights that drained feel water alone can't fix.
- 100mg potassium — teams up with sodium for the muscle-nerve pump. This duo is key for hydration because it's about holding and moving fluids right, not just chugging water.
- 550mg calcium — beefy for this type of supp and ties into muscle contractions. Calcium isn't only for bones; it's part of the signal that makes muscles work during training.
- 1,000mg raw coconut water powder — throws in a go-to hydration helper for electrolytes. It backs the minerals and turns this into real intra fuel, not just flavored aminos.

Who Is This For?
- Bodybuilders on high-volume plans wanting steady pumps and performance from start to finish. 7g BCAAs plus full EAAs hit the leucine signal and supply all essentials for mid-workout muscle support.
- Fasted morning trainers skipping meals before lifts. Supplies EAAs with 3.5g leucine for building, plus electrolytes and taurine for hydration without stims.
- CrossFitters and functional folks in sweaty, long workouts. 2g taurine, sodium, potassium, calcium, and coconut water make it better than plain EAAs for endurance and hydration.
- Lifters on stim pre-workouts needing intra that complements without more caffeine. Stim-free so it handles aminos and hydration without overloading.
- Fighters in camp avoiding extra cals or carbs. Full EAAs help hold muscle through tough training, electrolytes keep fluids right during pads and conditioning.
- Hybrid athletes mixing lifts and cardio. Taurine boosts endurance per studies, electrolytes sustain when sessions turn into hydration battles.
How to Use
Mix 1 scoop with 20-32 oz water and sip starting 10-15 minutes pre-training, then through the whole thing. Half scoop for testing or light days— gives 20 or 40 servings. Shaker beats stirring for even mix with aminos and coconut powder. More water makes it easier to drink over time, perfect for intra. Good with or without food, killer for fasted sessions since EAAs cover without a meal. Stacks great with pre, creatine, and post protein to fill the during-gap. No tolerance issues, so no cycling. Keep sealed cool and dry— these powders can grab moisture.
What to Expect
First 0-10 minutes: easy to sip, no instant kick since no stims. 10-30 minutes: you notice less thirst and steadier feel as electrolytes and taurine kick in, especially in heat or long sets. 30-60 minutes: shines mid-workout when aminos and hydration keep things crisp instead of sloppy. 60-90 minutes: no crash, just less fade and flatness in the end. Day 1-7: better session flow, huge if you used just water before. Week 2-4: recovery improves, performance holds up, and volume stays high with consistent use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many BCAAs are in Kaymus Intra per full scoop?
A full scoop delivers 7,000mg total BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio: 3,500mg leucine, 1,750mg isoleucine, and 1,750mg valine. That is a stronger-than-basic BCAA dose and gives leucine a meaningful role in muscle protein synthesis signaling.
Is this just a BCAA product or does it include all essential amino acids?
It includes all nine essential amino acids. In addition to the BCAAs, you get threonine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan, which makes this more complete than standard BCAA-only formulas.
Does Kaymus Intra contain caffeine or stimulants?
No. This is a stimulant-free formula, which makes it ideal for stacking with a pre-workout, using during evening sessions, or supporting hydration and recovery without adding another stimulant hit.
When should I take Kaymus Intra?
This product is best used during training. Start sipping about 10-15 minutes before your first working set and continue throughout the workout so the amino acids, taurine, and electrolytes are available while training stress and sweat loss are happening.
What does the 2,000mg taurine do in this formula?
Taurine acts as an osmolyte, helping regulate cell volume and support hydration status. At 2g, it is a meaningful inclusion that can help sessions feel more stable, especially in longer workouts, high heat, or high sweat-loss conditions.
What is the difference between the full scoop and half scoop serving?
A full scoop is 16.2g and yields 20 servings per container, while a half scoop is 8.1g and yields 40 servings. Use the full scoop for longer, harder, or sweat-heavy sessions, and the half scoop for lighter training or if you prefer a more conservative intake.
Can I stack this with creatine?
Yes. This is one of the better ways to use it. Kaymus Intra covers amino acid availability and hydration during the session, while creatine monohydrate supports phosphocreatine replenishment and long-term strength and power performance.
Is Kaymus Intra a good option for fasted training?
Yes. Fasted trainees are one of the best fits for this formula because it supplies essential amino acids during the session without needing a full meal. The leucine-led EAA profile helps cover the gap between training stress and your next protein feeding.
Why include EAAs if the formula already has BCAAs?
Because BCAAs alone are incomplete. Leucine can signal muscle protein synthesis, but all nine essential amino acids are required to actually sustain the process, which is why this formula is more credible than basic BCAA drinks.
Is this more of a hydration product or a muscle support product?
It is both, and that is the point of the formula. The amino profile supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery, while taurine, sodium, potassium, calcium, and coconut water powder support hydration and contraction quality during the workout itself.
