Mutant GEAAR — The Seriously Dosed EAA Formula

GEAAR is Mutant's complete essential amino acid formula, and the emphasis is on complete: 10g of all nine EAAs plus arginine, 7g of BCAAs loaded at an 8:3:3 leucine-forward ratio, 4g of leucine specifically (the main driver of muscle protein synthesis), a clinically calibrated 1,020mg electrolyte blend, and 5mg of BioPerine® absorption booster. 100% fermented vegan aminos, no synthetic colours, and Informed Choice drug tested. 390g / 30 double serves, in stock at Sky Nutrition.

What's In Every Scoop — and Why It Matters

• 10g EAAs + Arginine — all nine essential amino acids your body cannot produce, plus arginine (the "10th EAA") which supports nitric oxide production and amino uptake. Free-form EAAs absorb far faster than the aminos in food or protein powder — they don't need hours of digestion to reach your muscles.
• 7g BCAAs in 8:3:3 ratio — leucine, isoleucine and valine with leucine dominant. Multiple studies show higher-leucine EAA blends produce a greater muscle protein synthesis response than lower-leucine equivalents. 7g of BCAAs inside a single EAA serving is among the highest doses available.
• 4g leucine specifically — leucine is the primary trigger for mTOR activation and muscle protein synthesis. Research suggests 2.2–2.7g is the minimum to initiate MPS; 4g is the dose used in studies showing meaningful strength outcomes. GEAAR hits that threshold where many competitors deliver half.
• 1,020mg electrolyte blend — five electrolytes including Aquamin® (red algae-derived calcium) and magnesium, calibrated to match the WHO's Oral Rehydration Salts sodium-to-potassium ratio. Magnesium is involved in hundreds of bodily functions including muscle contraction, and it's often missing from competitor EAA products entirely.
• BioPerine® (5mg) — a multi-patented black pepper piperine extract with clinical evidence for increasing amino acid absorption. A full 5mg dose, not a label sprinkle.
• 100% fermented vegan aminos — derived from plant-based fermentation, not processed animal by-products.
• No synthetic colours — natural colourings only: red beet powder, blue-green algae, beta-carotene, turmeric.
• Informed Choice tested — third-party tested for banned substances. Very few EAA formulas combine this level of dosing, completeness and verified purity.

When to Take It

GEAAR is most effective intra-workout — sipping it through a session keeps aminos and electrolytes constantly available when your muscles need them most. On heavy days, plenty of people run three serves: one pre-workout, one during, one after.

• Training days: one scoop pre or intra-workout, with a second post-workout if you want full coverage.
• Rest days: 1–2 scoops through the day to keep amino levels consistent and support recovery.
• All-day amino drip: dissolve one scoop into a litre of water and sip through the day — the lighter flavour over that much water also helps people hit their hydration target.

GEAAR vs a Straight BCAA — Which Do You Need?

A dedicated BCAA formula like Mutant Hardcore BCAA delivers a big dose of the three aminos most critical for muscle protein synthesis, at a lower price per serve. GEAAR delivers all nine EAAs plus the electrolyte and absorption stack. Most people should pick one, not both: if you want the highest BCAA dose at the best value, go BCAA. If you want the complete EAA profile plus hydration in a single intra-workout product, GEAAR is the more complete formula. Running the two together is largely redundant — the aminos overlap.

Directions

Mix one scoop with 300–600ml of cold water — more water for a lighter flavour, less for a more intense one. Drink intra-workout, post-workout, or sip through the day. Stacks with a pre-workout or with unflavoured creatine and glutamine; GEAAR contains no stimulants.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between EAAs and BCAAs?

BCAAs are three of the nine essential amino acids — leucine, isoleucine and valine. EAAs are all nine, including the BCAAs. Your body can't produce any of the nine, so they have to come from food or supplements. EAAs are considered the more complete option because they supply everything needed for muscle protein synthesis, not just the three branched-chain components.

Why is leucine so important?

Leucine is the main driver of mTOR activation — the cellular signalling pathway that triggers muscle protein synthesis. Research suggests MPS needs a minimum of roughly 2.2–2.7g of leucine to initiate, with higher doses producing a greater response. GEAAR's 4g dose is matched to the studies showing meaningful strength and MPS outcomes.

Is it suitable for vegans?

Yes — 100% plant-based fermented amino acids, no synthetic colours, no animal by-products in the amino blend.

What does Informed Choice tested mean?

Informed Choice is one of the world's most rigorous third-party supplement testing programmes, certifying that a product has been tested for banned substances by an accredited laboratory. It's the standard many professional sports organisations require from their athletes' supplements, and most EAA products aren't tested to that level.

Can I take it fasted before morning training?

Yes — a lot of people take GEAAR first thing to break an overnight fast with amino acids rather than waiting on food to digest. The fast-absorbing free-form EAAs reach your muscles considerably faster than the aminos in a whole meal.

What flavours do you stock?

Blue Raspberry and Peach Mango, both coloured naturally rather than with synthetic dyes.
