GHOSTBCAA

Overview

GHOST built a cult following with lifestyle branding and licensed candy flavors, and its BCAA powder is one of its longest-running products. Each 11 g scoop contains 7 g of vegan, fermented BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio (3.5 g leucine, 1.75 g isoleucine, 1.75 g valine) plus 25 mg of AstraGin, a branded astragalus and Panax notoginseng extract marketed to support absorption. It's sugar-free, sweetened with sucralose, and lists 30 calories and 40 mg of sodium per scoop. A 30-serving tub costs $27.99, and GHOST also sells it through an official TikTok Shop store.

What reviewers say

Flavor is the story. Fitness Informant scored GHOST BCAA 9.1 out of 10 and credited its licensing deals, and TikTok reviewers say the Sour Patch Kids-style flavors taste like the real candy. Newer flavors such as Rainbow Sour Strips and Welch's Grape-Cran keep the lineup fresh, and reviewers appreciate a label with no proprietary blends. The trade-offs show up on paper: research on AstraGin is limited and largely backed by its manufacturer, the tub doesn't carry a sport certification, and the usual BCAA caveat applies, since BCAAs alone won't maximize muscle growth without enough total protein.

Who it's for

Lifters who want a fun, sugar-free intra-workout drink and care most about flavor variety, plus fans of GHOST's licensed collaborations.

Bottom line

GHOST BCAA is the most enjoyable BCAA to drink in this lineup, with an honest, fully disclosed label. If third-party certification matters for your sport, choose Xtend Original or Transparent Labs instead.
