BCAA amino acids -
BCAA or branched chain amino acids, are often sought after by athletes seeking optimal muscle mass. The branched chained amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine, are known to help boost energy levels, while offsetting the breakdown of muscle protein breakdown occurring during exercise. Pure Encapsulations offers BCAA in an easy to swallow vegetarian capsule. Best seller for athletes, please call us to speak with one of our vitamin experts, we are happy to help.
Provides safe nutritional support for athletes and individuals seeking optimal lean muscle mass. The three branched chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, boost energy while helping to counteract muscle protein breakdown during exercise.
What Is It?
The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are leucine,
isoleucine, and valine. These essential amino acids
provide nutritional support for athletes and individuals
seeking optimal lean muscle mass. Branched chain amino
acids are unique in that they are not metabolized by
the liver.*
Uses For BCAAs
Promotes Healthy Muscle Mass: BCAAs may play a role
in athletic support by promoting muscle nitrogen,
enhancing alanine and glutamine production, decreasing
lactate production and boosting energy while attenuating
protein breakdown These actions help to sustain muscle
work capacity and recovery. Studies have reported that
post-exercise protein intake helps to enhance the repair of
muscle protein. Additionally, some research has
suggested that BCAAs may moderate the progression of
central nervous system fatigue during exercise,
supporting mental performance.*
What Is The Source?
Isoleucine and valine are produced from corn dextrose
fermentation. Leucine is originally extracted from protein
and is extensively processed and purified.
