AMINOCORE BCAA Sweet Tea by ALLMAX is primarily formulated as a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplement, delivering a substantial 8180mg dose of BCAAs per serving. This high concentration is beneficial for supporting muscle protein synthesis, reducing muscle breakdown, and providing an energy source during workouts, which directly contributes to its 'Energy' and 'Metabolism Boost' goals. Beyond BCAAs, the product is fortified with a comprehensive blend of highly bioavailable B vitamins, including Methylcobalamin (B12), 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate (B9), Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (active B6), and Niacin (B3). These B vitamins are crucial cofactors in various metabolic processes, supporting nervous system function, cellular energy production, and overall well-being, thus linking to 'General Health,' 'Brain Health,' 'Mood Support,' and indirectly to 'Heart Health' through homocysteine regulation. The inclusion of Niacin (nicotinic acid form) at 20mg provides daily B3 support but may cause a temporary 'flush' in some individuals, as noted by some online reviews.
- High dosage of BCAAs (8180mg) is effective for muscle recovery and provides intra-workout energy support.
- Contains highly bioavailable forms of key B vitamins (Methylcobalamin B12, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate B9, Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate B6) ensuring better absorption and utilization.
- Supports a wide range of general health and metabolic functions due to the comprehensive B vitamin complex.
- The Niacin (nicotinic acid) form can cause a temporary 'niacin flush' (redness, itching, warmth) in sensitive individuals, which some users find undesirable.
- While supporting multiple goals, some benefits like 'Skin Health' are more indirect and a result of general nutritional support rather than specific targeted ingredients for that purpose.
- May cause a temporary skin flush (redness, itching, warmth) due to the Niacin (nicotinic acid) content. This is a common and usually harmless side effect known as the 'niacin flush' and typically subsides with continued use or by taking with food.

Folate 95.0
Contains 400mcg of 5-Methyltetrahydrofolate, which is a highly bioavailable and active form of folate. This form is superior to synthetic folic acid for absorption and direct utilization by the body, making it an excellent choice for folate supplementation.
Niacin 75.0
The product provides 20mg of Niacin (Vitamin B3) in the nicotinic acid form, which is a good daily dose for general health support. However, this specific form can cause a temporary 'flush,' which might be a drawback for some users compared to 'no-flush' niacinamide alternatives.
