Raw Sport Maintain is a Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) and coconut water formula, designed to support muscle and hydration. Optimise muscle mass and decrease muscle soreness with Raw Sport Maintain pre/during exercise to enhance performance and drastically reduce fatigue. BCAAs have been scientifically proven to accelerate recovery, reduce muscle soreness and improve the use of fat for energy during exercise. The branched chain amino’s are essential amino acids that need to be obtained through diet. If we Metaphorically think of amino acids within muscle as a pool that is continually exhausted by physical excursion, it is beneficial to keep the pool full to the brim by feeding the body a constant supply of BCAA pre-intra-post work out.
BCCA's are extensively studied by science and proven to:
- Increase protein synthesis
- Reduce Muscle Breakdown post exercise
- Reduce perceived exertion during exercise, making workouts feel easier
Put simply, Maintain is the best product of it’s kind on the sports market. It tastes great, contains ingredients that are ethically sourced and delivers amino’s in the perfect ratio the human body needs. Unlike the majority of BCAA supplements, we have formulated a blend that delivers an abundance of natural electrolytes from coconut water powder, grey sea salt, and freeze dried beetroot powder to increase blood flow, with freeze dried strawberry powder that has antioxidant properties to further support the recovery process.

Why Take?
BCAAs
Who would take a BCAA supplement? BCAA's are ideal to use during a workout in the gym. Fuelling the muscles with a constant supply of branch chain amino acids immediately activates protein synthesis, which helps with muscle repair and growth. Any type of athlete can benefit from taking BCCA for recovery. Taking during or post exercise combats muscle related fatigue.
We have selected a 2:1:1 ratio as foods from nature have this exact balance. It is vital not to create amino acid imbalances. Over supplementation of leucine, found in high quantities in many BCAAs, can cause high levels of ammonia to accumulate in the body, placing a strain on the liver and kidneys. High doses have also been found to cause hypoglycaemia and gastrointestinal side effects. The ethics behind the manufacture of BCAAs is important to raw sport and our customers. The majority of the BCAA products on the market are derived from duck feathers, GMO’s, animal hair or even human hair. We use an instantised 2:1:1 BCAA derived from vegan fermented sunflower. Instantised differ from standard BCAAs due to their water solubility, making them far more applicable in the sports beverage market. To give the amino acids their soluble quality, they undergo spray drying with lecithin, which acts as an emulsifier; allowing the BCAA to dissolve readily in water. We only use sunflower lecithin as an emulsifying agent, which has all the benefits of soy lecithin, without any of the allergenic properties.

When to take?
Mix 1 serving ( 3 teaspoons, approximately 5g BCAA) with 100ml water in a RAW Sport™ Shaker Bottle. Consume pre/during training or, alternatively, sip multiple servings throughout the day. Disclaimer: Implied results may vary. Individuals will respond differently. For best results use in conjunction with an adequate nutrition and training plan.

Instantised plant based BCAA complex
Instantised plant based BCAA complex (L Leucine L isoleucine L Valine. In 2:1:1 ratio) - BCAAs have been scientifically proven to accelerate recovery. Reduce muscle soreness and improve the use of fat for energy during exercise. We have selected a 2:1:1 ratio as foods from nature has this exact balance. We use an instantised 2:1:1 BCAA derived from vegan fermented sunflower. Instantised differ from standard BCAAs due to their water solubility. Making them far more applicable in the sports beverage market, Coconut water powder - Coconut water is bursting with electrolytes in the perfect ratio for instant hydration. The addition of electrolytes within protein powder is unique within the market place and contributes towards faster recovery periods post workout, Freeze dried cherry powder - Cherries contribute towards enhanced performance and recovery. Cherries contain melatonin a phytochemical that helps sleep cycles and acts as a potent antioxidant. Cherries have been found to reduce inflammation and muscle damage. All key components to maximise training health and performance
Kola nut extract
Kola nut helps to boost athletic performance. They contain a natural source of caffeine and theobromine to help boost metabolism and energy levels pre intra work out. Kola nuts help oxygenate muscles by increasing circulation.
Freeze dried beetroot powder
Beetroot is widely used in the sports nutrition industry. It raises levels of a compound called nitric oxide. Research shows nitric oxide increases blood flow by opening up blood vessels allowing more oxygen to working muscles. Beetroot has been shown to improve lung function and strengthen muscle contraction, Sunflower lecithin - Sunflower lecithin is added to support the digestion of all ingredients. Lecithin helps to emulsify and breakdown fats in the body. It also assists in absorption of all nutrients within the product. Sunflower lecithin is superior to soya and canola and is not allergenic.
Grey sea salt
Salt is an essential electrolyte that is lost through physical excursion. It is added to support sodium balance within the body throughout the toughest workouts. Balance of the cellular sodium potassium pump is essential to maintain performance levels and avoid cramping and fatigue,
Natural cherry flavour
We use a tiny amount of natural flavouring to enhance the taste of the product. Natural flavours are non synthetic and are derived from food sources.
Stevia extract
We use a tiny amount of stevia extract to enhance the flavour. Stevia is herb from South America that is 200 times sweeter than sugar. Unlike sugar it has zero calories and doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugars. Stevia is a superior sweetener that doesn’t have a negative effect on gut bacteria.
