Before we get into the specifics of who can use it, let's be clear that everyone can benefit from a BCAA+ supplement. Although it’s considered our “intra-sport” supplement, you can really sip on this tasty drink while you’re at the office or getting your kids ready for school.
One of the key ingredients found in our Revival Intra-Sport is BCAAs. BCAAs are one of the most popular sports supplements found in stores today. There are 3 BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Some of the benefits of these BCAAs include increasing muscle growth, decreasing muscle soreness, improving recovery and reducing fatigue. All of these factors play key roles in athletic training and it’s especially true in the sport of weightlifting.

Weightlifting
Revival Intra-Sport can help improve motivation as seen in a number of MRI studies. (1) L-Theanine found in Revival has also shown to enhance learning and memory in a technical sport which is key for snatch and clean and jerk development and technique. (2)
Wrestling
Similar to weightlifting, the technique is a huge part of wrestling. Learning and remembering movement patterns until they become second nature is an important skill that wrestlers have to continuously work on, regardless of what level you’re at. L-theanine helps to enhance this memory and technique development.
Wrestling also requires an unparalleled amount of stamina, focus and technique. Revival helps wrestlers maintain optimal hydration to improve cardiovascular health. It ensures mental alertness and focus from L-DOPA and improves learning from L-theanine. (2)
Rockclimbing
Climbing and bouldering require muscle endurance and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations, among other things. The BCAAs found in Revival help negate fatigue while L-theanine reduces stress and anxiety that can interfere with recovery. (3)
CrossFit
With the stress that CrossFit puts on your body, it’s important to remain hydrated, maintain optimal recovery and improve technical learning. Revival can benefit all of these factors by keeping you hydrated, enhancing learning and improving sleep. (4)
Endurance Athletes
If you’re headed out for a long run or bike ride, you won’t want to forget Revival Intra-Sport. As a hydrating source of electrolytes and BCAAs, it can be the difference between staying fueled or crashing and dragging.
As you begin to fatigue, free tryptophan crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This can impact levels of arousal, mood and fatigue. (4) This is because BCAAs and tryptophan compete for the same protein carrier. As it turns out, increasing the amount of BCAAs in your system can potentially reduce the amount of tryptophan crossing the BBB.
So maybe you’re not an athlete pushing through brutal training sessions. Maybe you’re extremely busy with work and home life, only making it to the gym a couple of times a week max. If this sounds like you, Revival can still help.
