BCAA

The branched chain amino acids (BCAA) are named leucine, isoleucine, and valine. What sets them apart from other amino acids is that they have some very specific, very special properties: BCAA promote protein synthesis in muscle. BCAA taken during training have been shown to increase both growth hormone and insulin, thus increasing anabolism and anti-catabolism. BCAA, unlike other amino acids,are used to provide energy. A 1992 Italian study showed that BCAA taken prior to a workout not only prevented a decrease in post-workout Testosterone levels, but caused it to increase. BCAA have been shown to decrease post-workout soreness. BCAA, according to a 1997 Italian study published in Medicina Dello Sport, when taken 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a workout, were shown to increase lean body mass and improve strength in the bench press and squat. BCAA have been shown to increase exercise endurance, especially exercise conducted in high temperatures. As little as 4 grams ofBCAA can kick start the body from a catabolic state to an anabolic state.Each serving (3 tablets) contains the following:900 mg of L-isoleucine 1620 mg of L-leucine 1080 mg of L-valine. Thats a ratioof 1.0 to 1.80 to 1.20, which you exercise physiologist types will recognize as the exact ratio found in muscle.
