Recovery-Boosting Fitness Drinks

Celsius' New Functional Beverages Contain BCAAs

Fans of Celsius' fitness drinks now have a new option to rely on, in the form of a functional beverage that's canned and fueled by branched-chain amino acids, or BCAAs. With the addition of this group of three essential amino acids, active individuals have the potential to see increased muscle recovery. The BCAA Recovery drink can be enjoyed any time, or post-workout, and also includes other functional additions like Vitamin D3, electrolytes and 100 milligrams of coffee.

The energizing flavors from the brand include Blood Orange Lemonade, Tart Cherry Lime and Tropical Twist.

Celsius launched its BCAA Recovery drink at the 2019 Mr. Olympia fitness event before its target audience of athletic trainers, elite bodybuilders, endurance athletes, gym-goers and other consumers who prioritize health and fitness.
