About monthlees
The supplement industry is built on inflated pricing, confusing labels, and aggressive marketing.
Monthlees exists to fix that.
We believe:
- Supplements should be clinically dosed
- Pricing should be transparent
- Testing should be independent
- And customers shouldn't pay for influencer commissions or retail margins
Instead of hiding costs inside the product price, we use a simple membership model — so you pay what supplements actually cost to make.

Recovery, cellular hydration, & muscle integrity
-
BCAA metabolization
Branched-chain amino acids are metabolized directly in muscle tissue — essential aminos the body cannot produce on its own and must obtain from diet or supplementation.*
-
Muscle protein synthesis
BCAAs — especially leucine in the 2:1:1 ratio — help signal mTOR, the pathway that turns on muscle protein synthesis after exercise.*
-
Preserve lean mass
Supports maintenance of muscle tissue when the body is under metabolic or physical stress from training volume and intensity.*
-
Glutamine support
1,000 mg L-glutamine per serving supports post-exercise recovery, cellular hydration, and muscle integrity — disclosed on every label.*
How it works
-
Step 1: Scoop
One scoop (6.5 g) in water — 4,000 mg BCAA 2:1:1 and 1,000 mg L-glutamine as listed on the supplement facts panel.
-
Step 2: Recover
BCAAs are metabolized directly in skeletal muscle — leucine, isoleucine, and valine support protein synthesis signaling and energy production during and after training.*
-
Step 3: Hydrate
L-glutamine supports cellular hydration and muscle integrity during periods of physical stress — paired with vitamin B6 for amino acid metabolism cofactor support.*

Leucine and muscle protein synthesis
Exercise physiology reviews highlight leucine as the primary BCAA that activates mTOR — the key pathway for muscle protein synthesis after resistance training.
Glutamine and exercise recovery
Reviews of glutamine supplementation discuss its role in cellular hydration, immune function, and muscle recovery during periods of intense training stress.
ISSN position on BCAAs and exercise
The International Society of Sports Nutrition summarizes evidence for BCAA supplementation supporting recovery and reducing exercise-induced muscle soreness when used around training.

How Monthlees BCAA stacks up
Many BCAA products underdose, hide ratios, or skip glutamine entirely. BCAA Recovery delivers 4,000 mg 2:1:1 BCAAs plus 1,000 mg L-glutamine with every dose on the label.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Monthlees member pricing, subscriptions, and how checkout works.
What does BCAA 2:1:1 mean?
Each serving delivers 4,000 mg BCAA in a 2:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine — the most studied ratio in sports nutrition research. The label lists the total BCAA 2:1:1 dose; individual amino milligrams are within the blend.
When should I take BCAA Recovery?
Mix 1 scoop (6.5 g) with 8–12 oz of cold water during or after exercise. Most athletes use it on training days post-workout. One container provides 45 servings at the suggested use on the label.
How is this different from whey protein?
BCAA Recovery delivers free-form branched-chain amino acids and glutamine for rapid post-workout use — not a complete protein. Whey provides full-spectrum protein with all essential amino acids. Many athletes use BCAAs around training and protein shakes for meals — they serve different roles.
Why I created monthlees...
When I was 19 years old, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. That experience forced me to start asking deeper questions about how the human body actually works.
Over the next 18 months, I immersed myself in studying health, nutrition, and neuroscience — eventually earning my degree in Neuroscience from Duke University. Along the way, I discovered something powerful: the body is incredibly resilient & inherently self-healing when it’s given the right support.
Strategic nutrition and supplementation became a major part of my own health journey. And over the last two decades, I’ve devoted my life to helping millions of people around the world take a more proactive role in their health.
That experience completely changed how I thought about health — and ultimately shaped the way Monthlees was built.
I created Monthlees because I was tired of seeing people pay premium prices for supplements that were under-dosed, over-marketed, and difficult to trust.
My goal is simple: build the kind of brand I would want for myself and my family — with better ingredients, transparent formulas, meaningful dosages, and a business model built on long-term trust.
