HelloPharmacist Scorecard of BCAA 5000 Powder Unflavored by ON Optimum Nutrition
Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our evidence database, so intended use can't be graded.
Why this rating?
- None of the active ingredients could be matched to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so intended use can't be graded against our evidence data.
Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.
Why this rating?
- The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
- No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our interaction database.
Why this rating?
- We couldn't match any ingredient to a HelloPharmacist monograph, so there was nothing to check interactions against.
None of the active ingredients could be matched to our safety data.
Why this rating?

General Statements
THE TRUE STRENGTH OF BRANCHED AMINO ACIDS (BCAAs)
Our instantized BCAA 500 Powder is made using a proprietary process that mixes easily and keeps the BCAAs suspended longer so they do not readily settle to the bottom of the glass. Because if you can't drink your BCAAs, they can't help your performance.
CONTENTS SOLD BY WEIGHT NOT VOLUME.
INSTANTIZED
MANUFACTURED IN THE USA
This product contains ingredients of international and domestic origin
60 Servings
BCAAs are essential, meaning that they must be consumed through the diet, since the human body cannot make them from other compounds.
Formula
L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are commonly grouped together and referred to as Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, because of their unique branched chemical structure.
BCAAs have long been used by strength-training and endurance athletes alike to support protein synthesis and recovery from intense training.
