BCAA Powder

- Branched chain amino acids with l-glutamine
BCAA Powder combines branched chain amino acids (BCAA - leucine, isoleucine and valine) with the amino acid L-glutamine in a delicious orange-flavored powder. BCAAs represent 35% of the essential amino acids found in muscle proteins, and approximately 40% of the total amino acids required by mammals. BCAAs are unique in that they are a direct source of energy for skeletal muscles, while also mediating the production of ATP in the citric acid cycle (Krebs). They stimulate the building of proteins in muscles, reduce muscle breakdown during physical exercise and regulate protein metabolism throughout the body. BCAAs stimulate the synthesis of lean muscle mass even in the absence of resistance training, making them an effective raw material for the maintenance of lean muscle mass in athletes as well as in populations unable to exercise but at risk of muscle loss. This product is free of sucrose, fructose and artificial sweeteners, and is sweetened naturally with the stevia plant.
