NOCCO: NOCCO BCAA

No Carbs Company (NOCCO) is a Swedish based beverage company that maintains a close focus on health and fitness providing tasty, functional BCAA drinks that have experienced exponential popularity and growth since its launch in 2014. There are three different types of NOCCO BCAA with each one containing different ingredients and for different usage purposes. The refreshing taste on these drinks can be enjoyed to provide an energy rush before training or as a uplifting drink during or after a tough workout.

Why we Need BCAAs

BCAAs make up around 35% of the bodies muscle tissue and are severely broken down when exercising. Studies have shown leucine to be the most important of the three and the one that contains the most anabolic potential.

BCAAs are rapidly absorbed by the body as they bypass the liver. BCAAs can also have beneficial effects of decreasing exercise-induced muscle damage 24-48 hours after exercising and promoting muscle-protein synthesis.

Regular NOCCO BCAA

The regular NOCCO BCAA drink comes in pear, red berries, peach and tropical flavour and each individual flavour is as good as the rest. NOCCO have really nailed it with the flavours and their growth in popularity over the last few years comes as no surprise.

Each can provides 2500mg of BCAAs in a 4:1:1 formula of leucine, valine and isoleucine and can be used as a multi-purpose drink as it can be consumed before, during or after training.

Energy/Fat Burning Ingredients

NOCCO BCAA also contains caffeine, carnitine and green tea. These ingredients are synonymous with fat loss and can also provide a natural and sugar free energy surge minus the crash – making them superior to regular energy drinks full of sugar and artificial ingredients.

B Vitamins

The addition of the B vitamins can be explained by their role in energy metabolism and helping the body to convert food into fuel. These work nicely in synergy with ingredients such as the caffeine and green tea to provide a natural uplifting energy spike that remains stable and prolonged to support exercise performance.

NOCCO BCAA+

The difference between NOCCO BCAA and NOCCO BCAA+ is that the BCAA+ contains double the branched chain amino acid content at 5000mg, but doesn’t contain any of the fat burning ingredients such as the green tea, caffeine and carnitine. If your looking for a high dose hit of just BCAAs, then this is the one for you. 

NOCCO Still

There’s also a non-carbonated version of the drinks named NOCCO Still. This still contains the fat burning/ energy ingredients caffeine, green tea and carnitine and the B vitamins, but provides an alternative to anyone sensitive to carbonated beverages.
