JNX Sports The Jinx! Supplement Facts Panel
The Jinx! Hydra+ BCAA starts out with 5g of the proven 2:1:1 BCAA ratio of Leucine, L-Leucine and Valine. The 2:1:1 ratio is still arguably the most trusted ratio of BCAAs to consume after you’ve consumed protein for the day. BCAAs can aid in muscle recovery and repair.
Taurine is dosed at 1g. Taurine is used in this formula as it can aid in electrolyte regulation. We like to see Taurine used at a minimum of 1g.
Coconut Water Powder has gained a lot of popularity in hydration products as it is proven to hydrate cells in the body. JNX Sports puts 500mg of Coconut Water Powder in The Jinx! Hydra+ BCAA.
The last ingredient is Rose Hip Powder. This is dosed at 25mg. This ingredient has been used in cosmetics as it has been proven in studies to help hydrate the skin and reduce wrinkles. Overall Rose Hip Powder can aid with hydration.
The Jinx! is available now in three flavors: Blue Raspberry, Lemon Lime and Watermelon.
Final Takeaway
Overall this is a standard BCAA product with added hydration elements. It will come down to taste and affordability. BCAAs do work, they just need to be consumed after a protein rich meal. We are looking forward to trying this and will provide feedback once we do.
