BCAA's
(Branched Chain Amino Acids) are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine.
They are considered to be essential amino acids because humans couldn't
survive unless they were present in their diet.
BCAA's are required
to maintain muscle tissue and studies have shown they preserve the muscle
stores of glycogen (a stored form of carbohydrate that can be converted to
energy). BCAA's also prevent muscle tissue breakdown during
training and therefore can improve
BCAA's are not like
other amino acids they are not metabolized in the stomach, and are instead
metabolized directly in the muscle. This unique quality means that they are
very anabolic (they build muscle) and very anti-catabolic (they stop muscle
breakdown).
These unique Amino acids (Leucine,
Isoleucine and Valine) cannot be synthesized by your body so they are
essential to your growth.

Suggested
Use for BCAA's
Suggested use is 10-15 grams of
BCAA's pre workout, and 10-15 grams of BCAA's
post workout. This should ensure your body experiences the optimum growth
conditions in, and around your workout.
Extra BCAA's can be
taken if trying to lose weight, 15 grams two times per day on top of the
workout supplementation should ensure you don't enter a catabolic state.
You may hear some self
proclaimed gurus say you don't need BCAA's because "there are enough in
protein shakes or real food if you are eating enough". But the truth is used
prior to and after intense training you body does in fact make very
efficient use of them. And substantial effects will be realized using them
at the proper dose and time. They are assimilated rapidly in their free form
state and no need for Ethyl Ester or Malate type attachments to enhance
absorption or to speed delivery.
L-Leucine
L-Leucine, or leucine, is known as
one of the three branch-chain amino acids. Leucine works with valine and
isoleucine to protect and fuel the muscles. It also works to increase
endurance and enhance energy. Leucine is an important amino acid for the
production of hemoglobin. It maintains blood sugar levels and increases
growth hormone production. Leucine is found in both animal and vegetable
products.
L-IsoLeucine
L-Isoleucine is one of three branched
chain amino acids (BCAAs), the other two being L-leucine and L-valine. These
BCAAs are found in proteins of all forms of life. They can be obtained in
the diet through animal and vegetable sources. L-Isoleucine is important in
hemoglobulin synthesis and in the regulation of blood sugar and energy
levels. It also increases endurance.
L-Valine
L-Valine is one of three
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). The other two are L-leucine and L-isoleucine.
These amino acids contribute to the functioning of everyday life. The BCAAs
are typically formulated together to provide maximum support to the body. L-Valine
is derived from animal and vegetable protein.
L-Valine is involved in
glucose metabolism, protein synthesis, and the regulation of the immune
system. As with the other BCAAs, L-valine could be involved in muscle growth
and tissue repair, and stimulant activity. There is some evidence that L-valine
is involved in muscle metabolism, the maintenance of nitrogen balance in the
body, and exercise recovery time. |
