BCAA

SD Pharmaceuticals Branched Chained Amino Acids BCAA delivers a scientifically-validated BCAA ratio of 45% Leucine, 30% Valine and 25% Isoleucine. This precise and research-validated 45:30:25 ratio is exactly what many clinical studies have used to deliver muscle growth and performance-enhancing benefits In addition SD Pharmaceuticals Brached Chained Amino Acids BCAA uses the clinically-tested absorption ingredient, AstraGin to support optimal absorption of the BCAAs for maximum results. What are Branched Chained Amino Acids? BCAAs are a group of essential amino acids that play a key role in protein synthesis (a.k.a. muscle growth) and energy production. BCAAs include L-leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine. BCAAs make up 35 to 40% of essential amino acids in total body protein! How do BCAAs work? Because BCAAs are essential amino acids and cannot be made by the body, they must be ingested through food or supplementation. During exercise, BCAA metabolism in muscle tissue is increased. Therefore, after aerobic exercise (i.e., cardio) and anaerobic exercise (i.e., weight training) there is a significant decrease in plasma BCAA levels in muscle tissue. Supplementation with BCAAs prevents the exercise-induced decline in plasma BCAAs and increases BCAA concentration in muscle tissue. BCAA’s are the only amino acids that are not readily degraded in the liver. Therefore, an increase in supplemental BCAA’s will reliably increase their concentration in blood and muscle tissue! The end results: better performance, growth and recovery.
