BCAA by Infinite Labs
The branched-chain amino acids BCAA™ consist of the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAA™ account for approximately 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle. BCAA™ are found in dietary protein, such as meat, dairy products, and legumes, and typically account for 15% to 25% of the total daily intake of protein. In contrast to most essential amino acids that are metabolized in the liver, BCAA™ are unique because they are metabolized in skeletal muscle. Numerous studies have demonstrated the anti-catabolic effects of BCAA™ administration, i.e., a reduction in muscle protein breakdown during clinical conditions of wasting (e.g., starvation, post-surgery, burns, liver disease, etc).
BCAA™ have been theorized to act as a metabolic fuel during exercise, particularly during intense, prolonged activity. Speeds up muscle recovery, enhance your endurance, and stimulate anabolic hormone production. Don’t forget your BCAA’s, they are essential to your goals.
