BCAA

About the product:

BCAA is a branched-chain amino acid supplement, which is used by bodybuilders and fitness freaks. Its administration along with a low protein diet helps maintain muscle mass.  It promotes muscle protein synthesis and increases muscle growth over time. The preparation is also useful in preventing fatigue in novice athletes. 

Branched-chain Amino Acids (BCAAs):

Amino acids are known as the building blocks of muscle. The human body can’t produce BCAAs on its own; we have to acquire them through the food we eat.

Branched chain amino acids are three amino acids, namely leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine.

• Leucine: It plays a significant role in muscle protein synthesis.
• Isoleucine: It induces glucose uptake into cells.
• Valine: Its role in BCAA supplement has not been determined yet.

BCAAs has the power to compete with tryptophan for entry into the brain, which can help to block your perception of fatigue, making your workout less intense. You should take BCAA during workouts or throughout the day on non-training days. It is best to take on an empty stomach.

Working of BCAAs:

If you wish to build muscles, then your body’s rate of protein synthesis must be greater than the rate of protein breakdown. BCAAs works by increasing the rate of protein synthesis while reducing the amount of breakdown.
