Optimum Nutrition BCAA 1000 Capsules

BCAA 1000

contains a balance of Branched Chain Amino Acids, which are building blocks of muscle mass and size.

Metabolized directly in the muscle, BCAAs may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups for repair and rebuilding.* The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (reducing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.*

Optimum Nutriotion BCAA 1000 Caps deliver 1G of Branched Chain Amino Acids in a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine to Isoleucine and Valine. Use them between meals, before training or after finishing your workout to augment your daily intake of amino acids for muscle support.

• Easy-To-Swallow Capsules

THE BIGGER PICTURE OF BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS (BCAAs)
L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are commonly grouped together and referred to as Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, because of their unique branched chemical structure. BCAAs are essential, meaning that they must be consumed through the diet, since the human body cannot make them from other compounds. BCAAs have long been used by strength-training and endurance athletes alike to activate muscle synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown caused by intense training.
