What are BCAAs?

BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) are essential amino acids that have a chemical structure which separates them from the rest of the essential amino acid family. They make up 40% of total body protein content and represent around 15 to 25 percent of total protein intake overall.

This BCAA powder is at a ratio of 2:1:1 of leucine, isoleucine, and valine and is derived from corn.

Main Function

BCAA powder is commonly taken by athletes and body builders as muscle-building and endurance supplements. BCAA powder may work with protein to help build strength, assist with muscle recovery after strenuous workouts, and promote muscle endurance.*

BCAA powder may also help support healthy blood sugar levels in already healthy individuals, maintain healthy weight in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, and support the liver.*
The function of BCAA branched chain amino acids is to promote muscle growth, reduce muscle damage, and improve exercise ability.

1. Promote muscle growth: Leucine, isoleucine, and valine in BCAA branched chain amino acids can stimulate protein synthesis, thereby promoting muscle growth.

2. Reduce muscle damage: BCAA branched chain amino acids can reduce the inflammatory response of muscles after exercise, lower the breakdown of muscle proteins, and thus reduce muscle damage.

3. Improving exercise ability: BCAA branched chain amino acids can delay exercise fatigue, reduce lactate accumulation, and improve exercise ability.
