BCAAs

Essential Fuel for the Athlete There are three Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) - L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. These essential amino acids cannot be produced by the body and make up about 1/3 of muscle protein. BCAAs can be depleted from muscle under intense training, and a deficiency in any one of them may cause muscle loss. Amino acids are responsible for protein synthesis and BCAAs may be an important component for effective muscle growth, muscle energy, and recovery. NZProtein BCAAs deliver an optimal 2:1:1 ratio of these essential amino acids to provide essential muscle fuel and support lean muscle tissue preservation (anti catabolic)*.
