Evo 2:1:1 is a must-have for you as an athlete
Evo 2:1:1 (BCAA's 2:1:1 + Vitamins B6 and B12) from Sportseries is a dietary 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 building blocks of 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, meaning those that the human body cannot create from others, and therefore must be supplied through the diet either isolated or in complete proteins. Evo 2:1:1 is a product based on branched-chain amino acids ideal for athletes with high nutritional needs or people following diets low in these amino acids (like vegan or vegetarian diets).
This dietary supplement can be used by people following vegetarian and vegan diets since it contains no animal-derived ingredients.
Evo 2:1:1: discover why it’s the best choice!
Ratio 2:1:1. The most studied and the body’s proportion
BCAA's come in different proportions depending on the consumer’s needs who will use the product.
The most common are 2:1:1, like Evo 2:1:1, and 4:1:1, which you can find in the product Evo 4:1:1 tablets.
The numbers you see represent the proportion of the following amino acids in the product:
L-Leucine : L-Valine : L-Isoleucine
Which are precisely the 3 BCAA amino acids.
The 2:1:1 ratio is the most used by athletes and people interested in BCAA supplements. This is because:
- It’s the proportion in which these 3 amino acids are naturally present in the body
According to scientific studies analyzing the protein composition forming the myofibrillar structures of adult muscle tissue, we have roughly twice as much Leucine as Isoleucine and Valine in our muscles.
This has made the ratio equivalent to the body’s natural proportion the most sought after by BCAA users to mimic the body’s own balanced needs.
- It’s the most scientifically studied ratio
BCAAs are highly researched nutrients. We have scientific literature for years proving their potential and application especially in athletes, older adults, and vegans:
Of all existing studies, most focus on the specific 2:1:1 ratio. This is because it’s not only the classic ratio but also the most used, so many interesting BCAA properties are demonstrated with the double Leucine proportion.
Try branched-chain amino acids 2:1:1. The most studied by science!
Plant-based fermentation. Unique and innovative process
Do you know where amino acids come from? We’ll explain it!
Amino acids are extracted from naturally rich sources of these compounds. Traditionally, structures like duck beaks were used to produce tryptophan or, perhaps most interestingly, many amino acid manufacturers used to buy large amounts of human hair for leucine production.
This is now outdated from a technical perspective. We have better, less invasive, and of course vegan methods, because amino acids from animal sources aren’t suitable for people following vegan diets.
Still... many companies today continue using these techniques to obtain their amino acids.
Not at HSN!
We use plant sources, like corn, which although more expensive to produce, allows a procedure of equal quality, yielding 100% pure amino acids, vegan-friendly, without the negative connotations of using mammal structures.
The process, while complex, boils down to properly treating the plant raw materials used, employing non-aggressive solvents to separate amino acids and subjecting them to filtering, cleaning, purification, and storage under controlled conditions to offer you the best of the best:
100% vegan BCAAs. With the same purity and all the effects of traditional BCAAs.
Formula with high content of specific vitamins. Better effects
Did you know Evo 2:1:1 BCAA tablets have a high content of vitamins B6 and B12?
This is no coincidence or random. Certain vitamins and minerals can have synergistic effects with certain nutritional compounds, which is why many of our formulas contain vitamins, like this one, to make a difference in effects compared to simpler, less refined products on the market.
For example, vitamin B12 plays a clear role in the methylation cycle and is closely linked to branched-chain amino acid metabolism.
Or vitamin B6, which has an important effect on regulating hormonal activity, a benefit any athlete using BCAAs post-workout will appreciate.
The Evo 2:1:1 formula provides per daily dose:
- 4,9 mg of vitamin B6
- 3 mcg of vitamin B12
High concentrations notable for their high biological activity and good stability during storage, such as methylcobalamin vitamin B12, the active form of cobalamin in the body that once ingested and absorbed, requires no further transformation to perform its physiological functions.
In short:
HSN offers you improved own formulas crafted by our experts, with the best specifically selected compounds for maximum effectiveness in your supplements.
Immediate absorption. Excellent pre- and post-workout
BCAA's have a clear function when used before and/or after training, which is when you want them absorbed and used as quickly as possible to maximize their exclusive functions.
HSN BCAAs come in tablet form, which means the powder disperses and the amino acids release in the digestive system for immediate absorption, ideal for use around training.
Other companies, to provide significant amino acid amounts, offer BCAAs in formats not suitable for immediate and optimal absorption curves.
Evo 2:1:1 is the perfect choice to comfortably carry your branched-chain amino acids to the gym and take them for instant use.
High amino acid concentration per tablet
One of the big challenges with non-powder amino acid presentations is how hard it is to provide considerable amounts of this nutrient in tablets or capsules.
This happens because BCAA doses are no longer milligrams but grams, and many companies lack the technological development tools to make tablets suitable for this purpose.
Besides raw material selection being very important, particle size or mesh and powder density are key factors to pack the maximum amount of BCAAs into a single tablet.
At HSN we develop quality supplements and control all factors to ensure the best possible product presentation, which is why each Evo 2:1:1 tablet provides 1 gram of pure BCAAs, plus the vitamins.
A high concentration for true high-level athletes.
What effects to expect from using Evo 2:1:1
Branched-chain amino acids are essential nutrients, meaning your body needs them because it can’t produce them on its own.
In people not consuming enough BCAAs, taking Evo 2:1:1 has several positive effects:
- Contributes to normal energy metabolism, thanks to the vitamin B6 it contains.
- Helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, a function attributed to its vitamin B12.
Also, let’s not forget that BCAAs have very important scientific studies on their use and functions in athletes:

When and how to take them: your best ally in cutting
BCAAs are nutritional components of high-quality proteins, like milk proteins or egg proteins.
They’re very important for people who can’t consume proteins at certain times, especially athletes doing multiple sessions a day or people on intense fat loss programs.
Why?
Because when body fat % is very low and still needs to be reduced, for example to compete, for a photoshoot, or to rock a killer body this summer; muscle mass suffers, and to avoid that and maintain it, more protein is consumed.
However, you can’t consume proteins while training, for example, which creates a problem when planning your nutrition strategy. Solve the problem!
With Evo 2:1:1 you can take BCAAs, important amino acids from top-quality proteins, that don’t require digestion, for those moments when you need protein but can’t have it.
Powder vs Tablets: which to choose based on your needs
BCAAs often come in two formats: powder and tablets.
It’s common to wonder which is better or which to choose based on personal preferences.
First off: There’s no better format, meaning BCAA effects are identical whether the product is powder, capsules, or tablets.
However, amino acids have a strong bitter taste, something you notice when consuming a 100% pure supplement authentically, like:
To avoid this, their natural bitter taste is masked with flavorings and aromas, many achieving incredible and delicious flavors, as you can try in Evo 2:1:1 powder and Evo 4:1:1 powder.
Usually, and when consuming at home, comfortably and without transport needs, the ideal is to use powder format for being simpler and more versatile.
However, this changes when you want to use the product outside the home and need to carry it. For that, tablet format is by far more convenient.
Tablets require taking several units, which can be inconvenient for some, but for many others, thanks to avoiding the characteristic amino acid taste, it’s optimal and not a problem.
Here’s a summary:
- If you’ll use it without mixing, at home: Flavored powder.
- If you’ll use it mixed with proteins, at home or outside: Unflavored powder.
- If you’ll use it alone or mixed, outside the home: Tablets.
What’s your favorite format?
What other supplements can I combine it with
It’s common for people new to BCAAs to wonder what products they can combine them with and which not. Are there incompatibilities?
BCAAs are fully compatible with other dietary supplements, with no issues combining with any other nutrient, so you can use them alongside other products from HSN brands.
Ideally, combining with other isolated amino acids like Lysine, Tryptophan, or Methionine is most recommended.
But you can also use it with specific formulas depending on the time of day you take it:
