BCAA 1000
Optimum Nutrition BCAA 1000, 200 caps
BCAA 1000 contains a potent balance of Branched Chain Amino Acids which are building blocks of muscle mass and size. Metabolized directly in the muscle, BCAAs, may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups for repair and rebuilding.
What are Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)?
Branched Chain Amino Acids, so named because of their unique branching
structure, are essential amino acids, which means that the body alone cannot
produce them. Therefore sufficient quantities must be obtained from dietary
sources. The three BCAAs (Valine, Leucine, and Isoleucine) make up approximately
70 percent of amino acids in the body proteins.
Benefits of BCAAs
BCAAs are unique in that they are metabolized directly by muscle tissue.
During prolonged workouts, BCAAs are burned as fuel to provide as much as 15% of
your total energy requirement. Since your body only has a limited store of these
essential amino acids, it is forced to break down lean muscle tissue when
dietary sources aren't meeting your needs. Consuming sufficient BCAAs before and
after training helps to prevent training-induced muscle breakdown thereby
improving recovery times. BCAAs may also play a key role in delaying fatigue so
you can push yourself harder, faster, and longer through the most intense
training bouts and competitive events.
