The heat asks for water. The class asks for amino acids. Five grams of essentials, two grams of leucine, no bulk — for the woman whose practice runs hot.
Shop Bare Aminos — R549/tub How it works →Long isometric holds. Heated eccentric load on the reformer. The heat is the wrapper. The work underneath still asks for repair.
Each grounded in published sports nutrition science. No marketing claims — just the substrate doing its job after a class that asked a lot of it.
Heated reformer and hot yoga both produce eccentric and isometric load on the working muscle. Five grams of EAAs gives the fibre the substrate it asked for on the way down.
Jäger et al. · ISSN 20235g EAAs. 20 calories. Zero whey. Sized for someone whose practice asks for repair, not mass. Hypertrophy needs a calorie surplus you aren't running.
Witard et al. · Nutrients 20142g of leucine — the threshold shown to initiate muscle protein synthesis in trained women. Above the line, deliberately.
Moore et al. · AJCN 2009EAAs deliver the complete amino-acid profile. BCAAs only deliver three of the nine — and the muscle stalls at the missing piece.
Wolfe · J Int Soc Sports Nutr 2017No whey, no lactose, no fillers, no sugar, no artificial colours. Drinks light enough to take before a hot class if you want to.
Bare product specificationPlant-fermented amino acids. Stevia and monk fruit, never artificial sweeteners. Made in Durban. SAHPRA-compliant manufacturing.
Bare manufacturingA 37-degree room makes everything feel like cardio. The skin is hot, the heart rate is up, the breath is loud. But underneath the sweat, the working fibres are loading — long isometric holds in a hot yoga sequence, eccentric tempo on a heated reformer carriage. Resistance is resistance, whether the room is cold or warm.
A clinically meaningful 2g of leucine — the threshold shown to initiate synthesis in trained women — without whey, lactose, or filler. Sized for someone whose practice is precision, not volume. Bare built it. Sports scientists confirmed it.
Jäger et al. · International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand · 2023Heated reformer or hot yoga loads the working muscle through eccentric tempo or sustained isometric tension. Micro-damage to the working fibres is the result — the input that asks the body to rebuild.
One scoop, post-class. Nine essential amino acids dissolve in cold water in under twenty seconds. 2g of leucine clears the MPS threshold while you're still walking back to the car.
The repair signal had substrate to work with. The twitchy-leg evening eases. The day-after stiffness eases. The studio bag is ready to go back the next morning.
Plain-language amino-acid breakdown. No proprietary blends. No fillers. No artificial sweeteners. Every milligram earns its place.
I stopped getting the third-quarter wobble in hot vinyasa. That alone was worth the tub.
First recovery product that doesn't taste like a sweet, doesn't sit heavy, and doesn't look like a gym tub on my counter.
Lean tone, not bulk. Bare understood the brief without me having to explain it.
No hedging, no marketing spin. Specific, science-led answers to the nine questions women ask most.
