5g BCAAs with solid hydration help to push through longer workouts

Redcon1 Breach is a no-stim amino and hydration mix that's all about keeping your workouts solid: hold onto your performance, stay hydrated, and keep muscle signals going strong during tough sessions. It's not a loaded pre-workout with everything thrown in. Instead, it's straightforward with 5g of BCAAs in the classic 2:1:1 split, backed by ingredients that help keep your training consistent as you get tired and sweat.

At the heart are the BCAAs: 2.5g leucine, 1.25g isoleucine, and 1.25g valine. Leucine is the star that kicks off muscle building by flipping the mTORC1 switch – that's the signal for protein synthesis. 2.5g is a good spot for that around workouts, especially if your meals aren't packed with top-notch protein. Isoleucine helps with getting glucose into muscles, and valine aids in keeping nitrogen balanced and fighting fatigue. Together, they work better than leucine solo. Studies show BCAAs can cut down on muscle damage and soreness in the right setups, but let's be real: they're not a sub for full proteins or all essential aminos. Think of them as a smart tool for during workouts.

What makes this stand out is the hydration part, way better than plain BCAAs. 1g glycerol acts like a sponge, helping your body hold water when you drink enough. Sure, big studies use way more for super hydration, but 1g still helps in a mix like this. 1g taurine adds to that by balancing fluids and cell size. Taurine is an osmolyte, which means it helps control water in cells.

Redcon1 Breach BCAAs by Redcon1 contains 2.5g Leucine, a effective dose for muscle recovery and growth.

Key Highlights

  • 2,500mg L-Leucine – the main player in BCAAs that kicks off muscle building signals via mTORC1. At 2.5g, it's in that sweet spot for sparking protein synthesis during your session.
  • Full 5g BCAA setup in 2:1:1 ratio – 2.5g leucine, 1.25g isoleucine, and 1.25g valine. This ratio is the go-to because leucine leads, while the others help with energy use, glucose, and beating tiredness better than just leucine.
  • 1,000mg taurine – a real dose that actually helps, not just for show. It works as an osmolyte to balance fluids and cell volume, and studies back it for boosting endurance.
  • 1,000mg glycerol – added to help keep fluids in and cells hydrated. Big hydration studies use more, but 1g is a smart add-on in an intra-workout drink like this.
  • 340mg potassium – a solid amount for hydration in training. It keeps nerves firing, muscles contracting, and the energy flow going for repeated efforts.
  • 160mg sodium – key for holding onto fluids and staying hydrated while you train. It keeps blood volume up and helps water get where it needs to go, better than water alone.
  • 1,000mg coconut water powder – brings natural hydration vibes. It works with the sodium and potassium instead of being the only electrolyte source, which is a smart move.
  • No stims for clean support – zero caffeine means no crash or sleep issues. Great for late workouts or stacking with your pre without overdoing it.

Redcon1 Breach BCAAs by Redcon1 contains 2.5g Leucine, a effective dose for muscle recovery and growth.

Who Is This For?

  • Lifters training fasted mornings who want aminos without a full meal. 2.5g leucine and 5g BCAAs support muscle signals, taurine, glycerol, and electrolytes keep it less draining.
  • Bodybuilders or physique folks doing high-volume work. Great when keeping pumps, hydration, and steady performance from first to last set beats a caffeine high.
  • Athletes in heat or sweaty spots where dehydration kills output. Sodium, potassium, taurine, glycerol, and coconut water powder fit those sessions perfect.
  • People with a separate pre who need stim-free intra to boost. Layers well, adding aminos and hydration without extra caffeine.
  • Casual lifters on a cut wanting workout help between meals. BCAAs help hold training quality and fight breakdown when calories are low.
  • Combat, CrossFit, or mixed athletes blending lifts and cardio. Hydration from glycerol and electrolytes plus taurine's endurance make it better than basic aminos.

How to Use

Mix 1 scoop with 16-24 oz water, start sipping 10-15 minutes before training and keep going through. It's not a stim thing needing a pre-hit; best when aminos, electrolytes, and hydration are there the whole time. Less water for stronger flavor, but more helps performance since glycerol, taurine, sodium, and potassium need fluids. Shaker helps mix, especially with glycerol. Fine not on empty stomach, great for fasted training as it's light. Stacks with creatine, pre, or protein. No cycling needed, no stims. Keep sealed, cool, and dry to avoid clumps.

What to Expect

First 5-10 minutes, it's just a light drink that's easy to sip, not heavy. 10-20 minutes in, no caffeine kick, but hydration starts helping as you train and drink more. 20-45 minutes, that's where it shines: BCAAs flowing, taurine, glycerol, sodium, and potassium keeping muscles pumped and sessions stable. 45-90 minutes, big difference in tough or sweaty workouts where water alone fails. First week, better hydration feel stands out. Over 2-4 weeks, you'll see consistent sessions, especially fasted, hot, or high-volume ones.

Key Ingredients

  • L-Leucine — 2.5g — Triggers the key anabolic signal around training
  • L-Isoleucine — Completes the BCAA profile for training support
  • L-Valine — 1.25g — Rounds out the branched-chain amino triad
  • Glycerol — 1g — Supports fluid retention for better training hydration

  • Coconut Water Powder — 1g — Adds a natural hydration-support component

Redcon1 Breach BCAAs by Redcon1 contains 2.5g Leucine, a effective dose for muscle recovery and growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many BCAAs are in Redcon1 Breach per serving?

Each 1-scoop serving provides 5g total BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio: 2.5g leucine, 1.25g isoleucine, and 1.25g valine. That gives you a meaningful leucine dose with the full branched-chain trio rather than leucine alone.

Is Redcon1 Breach a pre-workout?

Not in the stimulant sense. It is better classified as a stim-free amino and hydration formula designed to be used before or during training to support muscular endurance, hydration, and peri-workout amino intake.

Does Redcon1 Breach contain caffeine?

No. Based on the verified formula provided, this product is stimulant-free, making it suitable for evening training or stacking with a separate caffeinated pre-workout.

What does the 1g taurine do in this formula?

Taurine functions as an osmolyte involved in fluid balance and cellular hydration, and human research also supports endurance benefits. In practical terms, it helps this formula do more than a standard BCAA drink by supporting hydration and workout smoothness.

Is 1g glycerol enough to matter?

It is a supportive dose, not a full standalone hyperhydration protocol. Clinical glycerol hyperhydration studies generally use much larger bodyweight-based doses, but 1g still makes sense here as part of a broader matrix with taurine, sodium, potassium, and fluid intake.

Can I use Redcon1 Breach while fasted?

Yes, that is one of the most practical use cases for it. The BCAA blend supplies targeted amino support around training without the heaviness of a full protein shake or meal.

Should I use this instead of whey protein or EAAs?

No. Breach is a BCAA product, not a complete protein or full-spectrum EAA formula. It works best as a peri-workout support product, while total daily protein intake should still come from complete protein sources.

When is the best time to take Redcon1 Breach?

Most users will get the best results by starting 10-15 minutes before training and sipping it through the session. That timing matches the formula's hydration and intra-workout support design better than taking it all at once long before exercise.

Can I stack Redcon1 Breach with creatine?

Yes. Creatine covers phosphocreatine energy support, while Breach covers intra-workout amino and hydration support, making the two complementary rather than redundant.

Does this formula have proprietary blends?

No. The formula is fully transparent, with every active ingredient and its dose disclosed on the label, which is a major advantage in the amino category.

Great 10gbps USB-C Hub, worked with Anker support through compat issues with PD4 iteration 1
Original Review (updates below): ----- The moment I noticed this thing on Amazon, I bought it and it literally just arrived. Finally, 4K60 over just USB-C with other ports (including making up to 10Gbps available to them) for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, the first two things I've done with it were both disappointing. I'll cut to the chase, the power delivery pass through isn't working with one of their own chargers. The first device I tried connecting this with is my Anker PD4 with one USB-C cable as the only thing plugged into it so I can test the truly up to 100W (-15 for its own power) claims. I've tried connecting it with Apple's 2m USB-C charge cable (100w capable) and an equivalent CableMatters cable that also supports 100W. When plugged directly into my laptop, both of these cables immediately start charging it and show up as 100W power sources. When this Anker hub is plugged in and either of them is connected to the power delivery port on the side of it, the laptop does not charge (laptop is a 16" Macbook Pro, I've tried multiple ports just for the heck of it). My second complaint is that when absolutely nothing is plugged into it, it becomes fairly warm to the touch. Why, when it's doing nothing, is it hot? I'm clearly not running data or even power through it so I have low hopes for it under load. The fact that it doesn't work in exactly the scenario they want it to most (a MacBook Pro with one of their own chargers) seems like a pretty big fail. I've got lots of USB-C things though so I thought I'd grab a couple and try those. Using an Apple 96W USB-C charger, the device does pass through power delivery properly. It shows up as providing 79W to the laptop (siphoning off 17W in this instance). I also have a 56W Aukey charger that splits power between a USB-A port and a USB-C port that can provide 45W of power delivery. When plugged into that charger it does appear to work as well and appears in macOS as a 30W power source. Maybe the problem is the Anker PD4? But it works fine providing power to the laptop directly. Would love to hear from Anker about these two products working together and what I should actually expect. Having it be unreliable for power delivery isn't great, but power and heat aside (it is getting a little bit warmer now that it's providing power from the Apple power adapter, but still definitely holdable), the hardware looks and feels good and the cable feels durable. Worth also noting that there's a white LED ring on the side of it that appears to be always on when it's plugged in. Don't know why it needs an LED. ----- Update, June 22, 2020: I've done some more testing and Anker has reached out to me to investigate what might be the issue. I can say that the hub works as I would expect from a quick test with my iPad Pro 11" with the above functioning chargers. It was able to pass through power with the 96W Apple Charger on the other end to both the iPad port as well as a Magic Keyboard port. The ethernet adapter showed up in iOS settings and an external drive was functional. When connected via the Magic Keyboard, which is a power only connection, as expected it provided only power. Still no power passthrough of any kind when connected to the PD4. ----- Update July 1, 2020: I've written back and forth with Anker and they've sent me a replacement hub. It also doesn't work with the PD4. I've tried multiple USB-C cables but they have also shipped a cable to test with it. For now I'm increasing the review from 2 to 3 stars because I am more and more suspicious about the PD4 and less about this hub. They claim that they have tested the setup I have separately without issue, and I've sent video showing the problems I've encountered, so the troubleshooting is ongoing. Have had a chance to use Ethernet on it without issue. Still need to try to test out its throughput when trying to use a 10Gbps USB-C enclosure and a 4K60 monitor at the same time (+ ethernet). More updates to come. ----- Update July 10, 2020: I've continued to talk with Anker support and they shipped me a replacement PD4. The one I had was labeled as "Iteration 1" on its barcode, the one I got back was labeled "Iteration 2". I tested it out and it works perfectly with this hub, passing through the correct amount of power to multiple Macbook Pros and fast charging an iPad Pro. Clearly the fault doesn't lie with this hub and is instead an issue with the first iteration PD4, so I'm updating my review accordingly. Working with Anker support was great. I've also been able to test USB-C throughput (without driving a display as well so far) and it properly utilizes 10Gbps. I've attached some extra images showing various devices connected to it (keyboard dongle, SD card, USB-C 10Gbps external SSD enclosure, USB sound card, ethernet).

Excellent Quality and Reliable Performance from Anker’s 8-in-1 USB-C Hub
I’m really impressed with this Anker USB-C Hub with Ethernet (8-in-1). The build quality feels premium, setup was completely plug-and-play, and all ports work flawlessly with my laptop. The Ethernet connection is stable and fast, which has been perfect for work calls and large file transfers. I also love how compact and portable it is while still offering plenty of connectivity options. HDMI output looks great, USB ports transfer quickly, and the SD card reader is very convenient for photo and video work. Anker continues to deliver reliable products, and this hub is no exception. Highly recommended if you need a dependable all-in-one USB-C hub for productivity or travel.

Works great (quick test)
Just got this and tested and works great I attached to my MacBook with Ethernet and had a solid connection I tested my steam deck by plugging in Ethernet then adding HDMI then adding power and everything worked as it was plugged in I tested my Nintendo switch even though it clearly states it's not supported and it did not work at all. Even the power pass through did nothing. This is not even remotely a problem since it was advertised as such but I figured it was with a try and worth noting

Despite some caveats; this is a versatile hub
The Anker 555 8-in-1 USB-C Hub is a good buy if you’re looking for a hub from a reputable brand. I use it with an M1 Macbook Air, and it has been reliable so far. This hub has the following ports: 1 USB-C data port, 1 USB-C Power Delivery Port, 2 USB-A data ports, 1 HDMI port, an Ethernet port, and a microSD/SD card reader. Charging, PD (Power Delivery): To keep my Macbook charging, I connect a PD (Power Delivery) capable cable to the USB-C port meant for PD. (The other USB-C Port on this hub is meant only for data.) Once connected, the hub will eventually become warm to the touch, but this hasn’t caused any problems so far. Video Performance - no problems in 1440p I can connect my 1440p 144hz monitor to this hub’s HDMI port and my Macbook Air has no problem outputting a refresh speed of 144hz, as well the lower refresh rates of 120hz and 60hz. (I do not have a 4k monitor, so I could not test that.) USB-A Ports - works flawlessly I’ve tried keyboards, USB Drives, and even gaming Mice. All of these devices work as expected when connected to the USB-A Ports. Ethernet - Excellent speed I've connect this hub using an Ethernet cable to Gigabit speed Internet. The speed is just as fast as other computers on the network, and there is no slowdown at all, even with most of the ports on the hub being used. Gaming Keyboards with USB-C connectors - some issues. Some peripherals such as keyboards with USB-C connectors may not work on the USB-C ports on this hub. I tried using a Glorious GMMK Mechanical Keyboard and it did not work with this hub’s USB-C ports. (Of course you could try to simply use a USB-C to USB-A adaptor and then connect via the other USB ports on the hub instead.) Extension Cable - Use a Thunderbolt 4 cable Although this is totally optional, I like to use a small, 6-inch USB-C Extension cable to allow this hub to have more slack away from my laptop when connected. To allow this to work, I had to use a Thunderbolt 4 extension cable. I've tried other cables such as a Thunderbolt 3 extension cable. However, some of the attached devices on the hub were not recognized. Only the the Thunderbolt 4 extension cable allowed all my attached devices to be recognized. Other devices I have successfully connected an external SSD via the USB-C data port on this hub. I also regularly use an external DAC using the USB-A ports connecting to an IFI HIP DAC. Both of these devices work perfectly with this hub. Data transfer speed is rated at 10Gbs, though I haven't actually confirmed that. It works well enough for my purposes of transferring text documents and the occasional batch of vacation photos to my external SSD. Conclusion This hub from Anker is rated at 10Gbs which is plenty for me. But if you regularly transfer large amounts of data (like for video editing), I would instead recommend a powered docking station such as those from CalDigit. But for me, this portable hub does everything I need, and for much less money.
