BCAA 5000
Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000 Powder, 300 grams
Optimum Nutrition's BCAA 5000 Powder provides a 5000 mg blend of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Valine, L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine) in every serving. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.
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.
