Description & FAQ
Branched-Chain Amino Acid Performance Supplements
Our 1000mg serving of BCAA fitness supplements is designed to help promote muscle growth, reduce post-workout muscle soreness and fatigue, tackle muscle wastage, and bolster liver function.
Your body needs 20 essential amino acids to effectively create protein and muscle – however, it cannot produce all of them on its own. This branched-chain amino acid supplement contains the amino acids – like L-leucine and L-valine – that you need to achieve optimal growth and performance.
What are Branched-Chain Amino Acids?
Branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are essential amino acids that the body cannot produce itself. They’re needed to help synthesise proteins in the body.
Can I only get BCAAs through supplements?
Branched-chain amino acids can be absorbed through eating certain foods, but people doing regular exercise need extra BCAA to help keep up with the amount they’re using during their workouts.
Do BCAA supplements help your liver?
Research has suggested that BCAA may be beneficial to patients suffering from liver cirrhosis. They help downregulate protein metabolism and improve the balance of nitrogen in the body. Always consult your doctor.
