BCAA's (500 grams)

NutraPlanet BCAA – Branch Chain Amino Acids

Branch Chain Amino Acids, or BCAA’s as they are more commonly referred to, are comprised of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. The combination of these three amino acids count for a whopping 1/3 of all total amino acid stores within the muscles. It is no wonder then, that BCAA’s are crucial to muscle recover, growth, strength and to aid in overall athletic performance.

In a nutshell, BCAA’s are the building blocks of protein; it what your muscles are literally made of. When BCAA’s are consumed, they are either used for immediate energy or metabolized in the muscle rather than the liver…kind of like adding gasoline straight to your engine instead of letting it sit in the tank.

BCAA’s were extremely popular with early athletes and bodybuilders who did not have access to today’s wide range of supplements. Athletes would force themselves to choke down horse-sized pills in hopes of supplying enough BCAA’s to improve muscle recovery and growth. In time, BCAA’s lost favor among trendy supplement users, dismissing their use as “old-school” and unwarranted. However, use has always remained high amongst athletes in the know and for good reason: BCAA’s work! And new research has been proving their importance to a whole new generation of users.

It has been demonstrated that the main component of BCAA’s: Leucine, along with carbohydrates taken after exercise can increase insulin secretion by over 220%. This in turns drives nutrients into muscle cells where they are utilized to help muscles recover fast after a workout and ultimately grow to a larger, more powerful size. On the contrary, carbohydrates without Leucine only raised insulin a mere 60% over baseline…only about ¼ of what so-call “old school” BCAA’s can do!

BCAA’s are also very beneficial to people who crave extra endurance as opposed to larger muscles. New research has shown that BCAA’s help to augment energy levels by providing a readily source of nutrients for your muscles to feed from…instead of catabolizing themselves for energy. The end result is more energy and less muscle wasting. Furthermore, BCAA’s have also been shown to help preserve mental clarity during times of intense exercise, preventing that cloudy feeling from over-training or under-eating.

It is said that given enough time, everything comes around full circle. This aptly describes what has become of BCAA supplements. What was once the bedrock of sports nutrition became passé and now new research has shown these to be super-nutrients that absolutely no athlete or weight lifter should be without. If you are not consuming adequate BCAA’s, chances are you are going to have a hard time achieving your goals.
