Why take?/Benefits
The compilation of ingredients selected for raw sport repair mass gainer work in synergy to optimise muscle mass, performance, weight gain and recovery. Each 125 grams serving provides 58 grams of slow releasing carbohydrates derived from gluten free oats. A time released supply of carbohydrates supports faster recovery of muscle and replenishes skeletal muscle glycogen stores that are depleted after intense exercise.
Every serving contains a huge 46 grams of protein. Bio fermented pea protein and the BCAA amino acids leucine, iso leucine and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio is added to activate protein synthesis, contributing towards optimal recovery and muscle mass. In addition, 5 grams of L-Glutamine per serving is added to prevent muscle breakdown. L-glutamine is a non-essential amino acid that is stored in muscles and released during intense physical exertion and high intensity. Glutamine improves immune system functioning. A depletion of glutamine can suppress the immune system during intense physical training.
5 grams of creatine is added to boost athletic performance. Creatine helps to regenerate a molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), your body’s main source of energy. Supplementing creatine enhances the body’s capacity to work at high intensity, enabling increased muscle size and performance gains. Creatine has also shown to enhance muscle recovery, improve anaerobic capacity and improve brain function.
Coconut water powder and grey sea salt are excellent additions to help replenish lost electrolytes from physical exercise. Every ingredient can be fully digested and absorbed with the addition of a 4-strain plant based digestive enzyme complex.

Why take?/benefits
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 and grey sea salt, with added freeze dried beetroot powder to increase blood flow and in the strawberry & cream - freeze dried strawberry powder that has antioxidant properties to further support the recovery process.
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.
How/When to take?
Mix 1 scoop (approximately 8g BCAA) with 100ml water in shaker bottle. Consume pre/during training or, alternatively, sip multiple servings throughout the day.
