Description
There are 20 different amino acids that make up the thousands of different proteins in the human body.
Nine of the 20 are considered essential amino acids, meaning they cannot be made by your body and must be obtained through your diet.
Of the nine essential amino acids, three are the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine and valine.
“Branched-chain” refers to the chemical structure
BCAA supplements have been shown to build muscle, decrease muscle fatigue and alleviate muscle soreness.
They have also successfully been used in a hospital setting to prevent or slow muscle loss and to improve symptoms of liver disease.
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are important for bodybuilders and athletes because they make up a large percentage of the amino acid composition of muscle. Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are collectively known as BCAAs.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are designed to help support protein metabolism in muscle tissue.** BCAAs can be used to build protein as part of a high protein diet, or they can be broken down in the muscle to supply a direct source of energy.** This dual action makes our BCAA Complex an ideal complement to anyone’s supplement stack.
