Train longer and recover faster
BCAAs are the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. More than 30% of your muscle protein consists of those BCAAs. Your body does not make these amino acids, so you call them essential amino acids and supplement them from food or nutritional supplements. Like other amino acids, they are the building blocks of proteins. But these specific essential amino acids also help maintain glycogen stores in the blood, fuel your muscles and minimize protein breakdown during exercise. BCAAs help you get more out of your workouts.
Energy to grow those muscles
BCAAs nourish your muscles during training, just what you need to go that little bit longer and push your limits. Supplementing with BCAAs helps maintain glycogen stores, the primary fuel your muscles use for energy production. This means your body has a reliable source of energy to use while you work out. Extra glycogen stores prevent your body from breaking down muscle protein for energy. That's why BCAA supplements are a win-win situation for your muscles. They help to grow, support and protect your muscles. That means more energy, more reps and therefore more profit.
Leucine the king of amino acids
BCAAs can also help improve muscle protein recovery after your workout, especially if you consume them with protein. Research shows that leucine is the star player among the BCAAs in terms of muscle protein synthesis. That's why Nutrend has a higher ratio of leucine to isoleucine and valine built in. In BCAA 4:1:1 even 4x higher.
