Prolab Nutrition's BCAA PLUS is a high potency formula containing the essentialamino acids L-Leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine. These three protein sparing amino acids are known as branched chain. It is a well known fact that amino acids are responsible for protein synthesis, hence the nickname "building blocks". Recent studies suggest that the BCAA's are the most important of all amino acids for muscular growth and recuperation.
The BCAA's are the most rapidly absorbed of all amino acids; in fact, 70% of BCAA's immediately pass through the liver and are "pushed" into the muscle tissue where the majority of the metabolism takes place. BCAA's are also responsible for muscle production and energy production. Muscleproduction is supplied by an increase in protein synthesis. Energy production is caused when he BCAA's assist in the production of L-Alanine. This is done through a process called transamination, which is the transfer of amino acid groups into other amino acids. L-Alanine, a primary pathway to muscle energy, will cause both increased protein synthesis and increased energy sources.
BCAA's may also be of benefit to you during extreme dieting by lessening the catabolic (breaking dowm) effect of muscle tissue. You can see why BCAA's are so important in your quest for muscle growth and recuperation. Your body can not manufacture it's own BCAA's. They must be supplied through your diet. Do not short change your progress, use Prolab Nutrition's BCAA PLUS. |
