What are BCAA's?

Some of the most regularly used supplements today include branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and they help promote muscle growth and recovery. So, what exactly is a BCAA? Let's start with the acronym: BCAAs stands for branched-chain amino acids, including leucine, isoleucine and valine. 

Hydroxyproline, proline and hydroxylysine are three other essential amino acids that play a role in maintaining the structure and elasticity of connective tissue such as skin, ligaments and tendons. They also contribute to the development and maintenance of muscle fibres. So, if you want to increase your strength and stamina, you need to consume enough BCAAs daily.

How do BCAAs work?

BCAAs play a role in the synthesis of muscle tissue and promote protein growth and repair. They also help to support and protect the immune system and prevent or treat low blood sugar levels. Another significant benefit of BCAAs is combat fatigue, which is very important if you want to exercise longer before getting tired. BCAAs release energy from stored fat and carbohydrates, which can help to utilize fat as an energy source instead of blood glucose. So, you can consume BCAAs without any adverse effects on your blood sugar levels.

• Leucine (3500 mg)

Leucine is a direct activator of a process known as a mammalian target of rapamycin. This process amplifies insulin-like growth factor-1, which is essential for building muscle and decreasing body fat. Leucine can also help increase the production of glutamine, which helps muscles recover from exercise more quickly. In addition, research has also found that leucine can lower myostatin levels by as much as 70 percent.

• Isoleucine (1750 mg)

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, isoleucine is an essential amino acid that helps prevent muscle breakdown and aids in synthesizing fatty acids and cholesterol. It increases the rate of proteolysis, which is a process that breaks down small peptide or protein chains so they can be absorbed and used for energy production.

• Valine (1100 mg)

Valine also plays a role in preventing muscle tissue from breaking down and increasing the muscles' rate of energy. It also helps to stimulate the production of human growth hormone, which can help to prevent muscle tissue from breaking down and promote regeneration.

• Glutamine (2500 mg)

Glutamine is an amino acid that is important for the growth and repair of muscle tissue. It can also help to strengthen tendons, ligaments and bone tissue, which is essential for maintaining joint health.

• Electrolyte Blend (Sodium; 220 mg, 9%; Potassium, 180 mg, 5%)

The electrolytes sodium and potassium are crucial for the proper functioning of the body. Sodium helps to regulate fluid balance in the body and prevents blood pressure from becoming too high. Research studies have also found that consuming sodium during exercise can help to enhance endurance levels, which is vital for athletes who are training at high heart rates for extended periods. Potassium helps regulate the nervous system, muscle contraction, cardiovascular system and osmosis of all tissues in the body. It also helps to maintain normal muscle function by providing energy for your cells.

• Citrulline Malate (250 mg)

It is an amino acid that helps to increase the rate at which muscles produce energy. This helps to reduce ammonia, which can build up during exercise and make you feel tired. Citrulline Malate also helps increase nitric oxide levels in blood vessels, improving blood flow during exercise and promoting muscle growth.
