Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA)
What Is the BCAA?
Branched Chain Amino Acids are three essential amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine & Valine) that the body can’t produce. Therefore, they should be obtained through a high-protein diet containing (Beef, Chicken, Dairy and Fish) or supplements due to their significant role in muscle recovery & tissue repair.
What Does BCAA do in your body?
- Leucine: Skeletal muscles use leucine to give energy during a workout or high physical activities and regulate several processes within the muscle cells, such as (protein synthesis, tissue regeneration, and metabolism).
- Isoleucine: Enhance endurance, control normal blood glucose level, and improve hormone balance for better energy and strength.
- Valine: Promotes muscle growth and tissue repair by bringing more glucose to the muscles as they are stressed and worked.
- It is essential for people with a high metabolic rate because it will reduce muscle catabolism so they can maintain and gain weight more easily and faster.
- Reduce Fatigue and muscle crumbs during training.
- Faster Recovery.
- Enhance body endurance and performance.
So, if you want to take your performance to another level, whether you are running, lifting weights, or swimming, BCAA will be your perfect choice.
