BCAA

- Amino acids for the development and maintenance of muscles
- Source of amino acids necessary for protein synthesis
- Prevents loss of muscle mass and promotes post-workout muscle recovery and repair
- Helps maintain glycemic balance and the proper functioning of the immune system
- Vegetarian source of BCAA in optimal quantities
Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids that the human body must obtain from food since it is unable to produce them. These include leucine, isoleucine and valine. Although protein is necessary for muscle development in general, BCAAs, specifically leucine, are very essential for the growth and repair of muscle tissue. Indeed, studies have shown that a mixture of proteins not containing leucine was incapable of stimulating muscle development. Taken before and after exercise, BCAAs can prevent protein breakdown and improve recovery time by decreasing muscle soreness.
BCAAs can also help prevent loss of muscle mass in older or weakened people. They help maintain muscles and have this exceptional ability to promote the development of muscles that remain at rest during physical exercise. This is why BCAAs are recommended for frail or elderly people, as well as exercise enthusiasts, to stimulate strength and independence, and to support the proper functioning of the immune system. BCAAs can also intervene in the regulation of glycemic balance and seem to represent an interesting alternative to promote mood balance.
AOR's BCAA formula offers a convenient way to add important branched-chain amino acids to your diet. Unlike other amino acids, the breakdown of BCAAs takes place mainly in the muscle and more precisely within the mitochondria, making them extremely effective in stimulating the development of muscle tissue. BCAA is obtained from a vegetarian source.
