CHAMPION
AMINO ENERGY

A Japanese water-dispersed performance formula combining amino acids, smart carbohydrate delivery and caffeine-free botanical focus.

Why it was created

Movement demands more
than a single ingredient.

Champion is built as a layered drink system: essential and conditionally essential amino acids form the physical-performance core, while Cluster Dextrin® supports the carbohydrate architecture.

EnXtra® galangal extract brings a caffeine-free focus concept; citric acid, a complete vitamin premix and BioPerine® finish the current formula.

YOTSUBA JAPAN FORMULA STUDY
BCAA, HMB calcium and the declared free amino acids form the amino matrix. Cluster Dextrin® provides a separate carbohydrate component; citric acid is also part of the drink composition. EnXtra®, vitamins and BioPerine® complete the formula’s botanical and micronutrient layer. Illustrative ingredient study. Shapes and movement are simplified; product evidence is reviewed separately.

BCAA 2:1:1 · Chicken breast

Chicken breast illustrating the food source, not the roasted preparation or measured portion

≈ 14.7g

of roasted skinless chicken breast, on total combined BCAA content

Food amino acids are largely protein-bound; the formulation uses a separately supplied ingredient. Only the BCAA sum is matched; ratios differ.

Calculation & source

MEXT 2023 food 11288 lists 6,800 mg combined BCAA per 100 g edible roasted skinless broiler chicken breast. The total is leucine 3,100 + isoleucine 1,800 + valine 1,900 mg; that food ratio differs from 2:1:1. 1000 ÷ 6800 × 100 ≈ 14.7 g. The table describes total amino-acid composition, rather than the amount already present as free amino acids.

This compares selected constituent content, not complete nutrition, digestion, absorption or health effects. Composition varies with source and processing. Images are illustrative, not measured portions or eating recommendations. Protein-bound food amino acids and separately supplied amino acids require different digestion and delivery. The result does not mean this food contains the same dose of free-form amino acid.

Evidence, with the
right boundaries.

Important distinctionThe sources below examine individual ingredients or other preparations. They are not clinical trials of the complete Champion Amino Energy formula.
BCAARandomised crossover study

BCAA before resistance exercise

A small controlled study examined BCAA taken before squat exercise and reported differences in post-exercise soreness. The study preparation and dose were not the complete Champion formula.

Alpinia galanga extractRandomised double-blind study

Galangal extract and mental alertness

A controlled study evaluated a specified Alpinia galanga extract for alertness and sustained attention. It does not establish an effect for this multi-ingredient finished product.

Highly branched cyclic dextrinHuman comparative study

Carbohydrate drinks and gastric emptying

A study compared the gastric-emptying behaviour of HBCD and other carbohydrate solutions under specific concentrations and osmotic conditions. Champion itself was not tested.

Calcium HMBHuman crossover pharmacokinetic study

Calcium HMB dissolved in water

A crossover study in 16 healthy young adults compared calcium HMB in water and capsules with HMB free acid. Calcium HMB showed higher plasma exposure, while the water-dispersed form reached peak concentration sooner. The study used approximately 1 g HMB and measured pharmacokinetics—not exercise performance; Champion provides 250 mg HMB calcium per stick and was not tested.

No caffeine ingredient is declared in the supplied formula. EnXtra® is a caffeine-free Alpinia galanga extract; the full approved market-specific label remains authoritative.

03When should it be taken?+

The supplied label gives a daily serving but does not prescribe a pre-, intra- or post-workout timing. A professional should adapt use to the individual and the approved local instructions.
