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 blood sugar balance and immune system function
• Vegetarian source of BCAAs in optimal amounts

Description

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids that the human body must obtain from food because it cannot produce them. They are leucine, isoleucine and valine. Although proteins are necessary for the development of muscles in general, BCAAs, more precisely leucine, are absolutely essential for the growth and repair of muscle tissue. In fact, studies have shown that a protein blend that does not contain leucine is unable to stimulate muscle development. Taken before and after exercise, BCAAs can prevent protein breakdown and improve recovery time by reducing muscle soreness.

BCAAs can also help prevent the loss of muscle mass in the elderly or weakened. They help maintain muscle and have the unique ability to promote the development of muscle that is left at rest during exercise. This is why BCAAs are recommended for frail or elderly people, as well as exercise enthusiasts, to boost strength and independence, and to support healthy immune system function. BCAA's can also be used to regulate blood sugar levels and appear to be 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, BCAA's are broken down primarily in the muscle and specifically within the mitochondria, making them extremely effective in stimulating muscle tissue development. BCAA is obtained from a vegetarian source.
