You can't miss 2:1:1 in your stack as an Athlete
Evo 2:1:1 (BCAA's 2:1:1 + Vitamins B6 & B12) by Sportseries is a food supplement based on branched chain amino acids or BCAA's and vitamins: pyridoxine and cobalamin (B6 and B12).
Branched-chain amino acids or BCAAs are elements that constitute the proteins in your diet, and even the proteins in your muscles. They stand out for being amino acids with special characteristics, and for belonging to the group of essential amino acids, i.e. those that the human organism cannot produce from others, and which must therefore be administered through the diet in isolation or in complete proteins. Evo 2:1:1 is a branched-chain amino acid-based product ideal for athletes with high nutritional requirements or people who follow diets low in these amino acids (such as vegan or vegetarian diets).
This food supplement can be used by vegetarians and vegans as it contains no animal ingredients.

Ratio 2:1:1. The most studied and best proportioned to the body
BCAA's are available in different proportions depending on the interests of the consumer who is going to use the product.
The most frequent ones are 2:1:1:1, as is the case with Evo 2:1:1, and 4:1:1, as you can find in the product Evo 4:1:1 tablets.
The numbers you can read are the proportion in which the following amino acids are found in the product:
L-Leucine : L-Valine : L-Isoleucine
These are precisely the 3 amino acids BCAA's.
The 2:1:1 ratio is the most used by athletes and people interested in using BCAA-based food supplements. This is because:
- It is the proportion in which these 3 amino acids are present in the body
According to scientific studies analysing the composition of the proteins that form the myofibrillar structures of adult muscle tissue, we have approximately twice as much Leucine as Isoleucine and Valine in our muscles.
This has made the ratio equivalent to the body's natural ratio the most sought after by BCAA users in order to emulate the needs that the body itself maintains in proportional balance.
- It is the most scientifically studied ratio
BCAAs are a well-studied nutrient. There has been scientific literature for years demonstrating their potential and application, especially in athletes, the elderly and vegans:
From all the available studies, most of them focus on the specific ratio of 2:1:1. This is because it is not only the most classic ratio, but also the most widely used, which is why many of the interesting properties of BCAAs are demonstrated in the double leucine ratio.
Try 2:1:1 branched chain amino acids. The most studied by science!
From vegetal fermentation. A unique and innovative process
Do you know where amino acids are obtained? Let us explain it to you!
Amino acids are extracted from naturally rich sources of these compounds, traditionally structures such as duck beaks have been used to make tryptophan, or perhaps the case of leucine is the most interesting of all, as many amino acid manufacturers purchased large quantities of human hair for production.
Technically, this is now obsolete as there are better, less invasive, and vegan methods available, because the consumption of amino acids from animal sources is not suitable for people who follow vegan diets.
And yet... Many companies still continue to use these techniques to obtain their amino acids today.
Not at HSN!
We use vegetable sources, such as corn, which although more expensive to produce, allows us to use a process of equal quality, obtaining a 100% pure amino acid, and suitable for vegans, without the negative connotations of using mammalian structures.
The procedure, although complex, comes down to the proper treatment of the raw plant materials used, employing non-aggressive solvents to separate the amino acids and subjecting them to processes of filtering, cleaning, purification, and storage under controlled conditions to offer you the very best:
100% vegan BCAA. With the same purity and all the effects of traditional BCAA as always.
Formula with a high content of specific vitamins. Improved effects
Did you know that Evo 2:1:1 BCAAs tablets are high in vitamin B6 and B12?
This is neither accidental nor arbitrary. Certain vitamins and minerals can have synergistic effects to certain compounds of nutritional interest, hence many of our formulas contain vitamins, as is the case, to make a difference in the effects they produce compared to other simpler and less worked developments in the market.
For example, vitamin B12 has a clear role in the methylation cycle and is therefore closely linked to the metabolism of branched-chain amino acids.
Or vitamin B6, which has an important effect on the regulation of hormonal activity, an effect that is of interest to any athlete using BCAAs after training.
The Evo 2:1:1 formula provides per daily dose:
- 4.9mg vitamin B6
- 3mcg vitamin B12
High concentrations that stand out for the presentation of high biological activity and good stability during conservation, in which they are presented, such as vitamin B12 methylcobalamin, which is the active form of cobalamin in the body that once ingested and absorbed, does not require additional transformations to exercise the physiological functions of this vitamin in the body.
To sum up:
HSN offers you own formulas improved by our experts, with the best compounds specifically selected for maximum effectiveness in your food supplements.
Immediate absorption. Excellent pre- and post-workout
BCAAs have a clear function when used before and/or after training, which is when we want them to be absorbed and used as quickly as possible to optimise their unique functions to the maximum.
BCAAs by HSN are presented in a tablet format, which makes the dispersion of the powder and the release of the amino acids in the digestive system for subsequent absorption is immediate, ideal for use around training.
Other companies, in order to provide significant amounts of amino acids, have to present the BCAAs in presentations that are not suitable for an immediate and optimal absorption curve.
Evo 2:1:1 is the perfect choice to conveniently transport your branched chain amino acids to the gym and take them for instant use.
High amino acid concentration per tablet
One of the big problems when it comes to non-powder presentations of amino acids is how difficult it is to provide significant amounts of this nutrient in tablets or capsules.
This is because BCAA doses are no longer milligrams, but grams, and many companies do not have the technological development tools to develop tablets suitable for this purpose.
Besides the fact that the selection of the raw material is very important, the particle size or mesh and the density of the powder are key factors in order to get the maximum amount of BCAAs into a tablet, per unit.
At HSN we develop quality food supplements, and we control all the factors to be taken into account so that the presentation of the products is the best possible, which is why each tablet of Evo 2:1:1 provides 1 gram of pure BCAAs, with vitamins.
A high concentration for true athletes of the highest level.
What effects to expect from the use of Evo 2:1:1 in athletes and people in need of an extra dose of BCAAs
Branched-chain amino acids are essential nutrients, i.e., your body needs them because it cannot produce them on its own.
In people who do not consume enough BCAAs, the intake of Evo 2:1:1 has a number of positive effects:
- It contributes to normal energy metabolism, thanks to the effect of the vitamin B6 it contains.
- It helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, a function attributed to its vitamin B12.
And let's not forget that BCAAs have very important scientific studies on their use and functions in athletes:
Don't miss out on all the features of Evo 2:1:1!
When and how to take: Your best ally when cutting
BCAAs are nutritional components of high-quality proteins, such as milk proteins or egg proteins.
They are very important for people who do not have the availability to consume protein at certain times, especially athletes who do several sessions a day or people who are undergoing intense fat loss programs.
Why?
Because when the fat % is very low and still needs to be reduced further, for example for competition, for a photo shoot, or to show off a great body this summer, muscle mass suffers, and to avoid this and to maintain it, more protein is consumed.
However, you cannot consume protein while training, for instance, which results in a problem when planning your dietary strategy. Get rid of the problem!
With Evo 2:1:1 you can supply BCAAs, important amino acids of the highest quality proteins, which do not require digestion, for those moments when you need to take protein and you cannot.
Powder vs Tablets: Which one to choose according to your needs
BCAAs are often available in two forms: Powder and tablets.
It is very common for there to be doubts as to which is better or which should be chosen according to the preferences of each consumer.
Firstly: There is no one format that is better than another, i.e., the effects of BCAAs are identical regardless of whether the product is in powder, capsule, or tablet form.
However, amino acids have an intensely bitter taste, which is noticeable when consuming a 100% pure food supplement in its authentic form, such as:
To avoid this, their natural bitter taste is covered with flavourings and scents, many of which make for incredibly delicious flavours, as you can taste in Evo 2:1:1 powder and Evo 4:1:1 powder.
Normally, when they are consumed at home, comfortably and without transportation, the ideal is to use the powder format to be simpler and more versatile.
However, all this changes when you want to use the product away from home, and it will be transported. For that, the tablet format is by far the most convenient.
Tablets require consumption of several units, something that can be uncomfortable for certain people, but for many others, avoiding the characteristic taste of amino acids is optimal rather than a problem.
We sum it up for you:
- If you are going to use it unmixed, at home: Flavoured powder.
- If you are going to use it mixed with protein, at home or outside: Flavourless powder.
- If you are going to use it alone or mixed, outside the home: Tablets.
What is your favourite format?
With which other supplements I can combine Evo 2:1:1 (BCAA's 2:1:1 + Vitamins B6 & B12)
It is common for people who have not previously used BCAAs to wonder which products they can and cannot combine them with. Are there any incompatibilities?
BCAAs are completely usable along with other food supplements, they have no problems associated with combining them with any other nutrient, so you can use it together with other products of the HSN brands.
Ideally, the combination with other isolated amino acids such as Lysine, Tryptophan, or Methionine, is recommended.
But you can also use it in combination with specific formulas depending on the time of day you are going to take it:
