Description
- Supports muscle growth
- Rapidly absorbed
- Encourage tissue repair
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) occur in nature as L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine and L-Valine. They are essential to the human body because they are found in cells to promote protein synthesis. Protein is essential for muscle contraction, strong bones, tissue synthesis and many other functions of your body. Isoleucine is found naturally in almonds, cashews, chicken, eggs, fish, lentils, liver and other meats. Leucine is found in many protein foods, brown rice, beans and nuts. Valine is found in dairy products, meats, grains, mushrooms, soy products and peanuts.
All three of these BCAA’s are used together to potentially promote muscle growth, tissue repair and be used as an energy source.
BCAA’s comprise of up to 35% of muscle tissue and intense training of long durations can deplete BCAA levels. Depleted BCAA levels may result in a decrease in muscle strength and tone.
Studies have shown that the presence of branched chain amino acids after training is “critical for recovery”. When BCAA’s were given as a supplement trained athletes maintained higher levels of L-glutamine following strenuous exercise. L-glutamine is a conditionally essential amino acid that supports immune function and muscular recovery. All hard training athletes can directly relate to the importance of full muscular recovery. Recovery that promotes the maintenance and development of lean muscle tissue.
BCAA is a fundamental supplement for the serious athlete. Inner Armour BCAA Power Caps and Powder contain calibrated dosages in the purest form. The BCAA matrix includes protein synthesis co-factors like Vitamin B-6 for optimum performance. Utilize this ultra-pure intra-muscular amino matrix as part of your high performance nutritional supplement protocol.
