Among the most beneficial and effective supplements in any sports nutrition program are BCAA (Branch Chain Amino Acids). These are the essential amino acids: Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine, which make up BCAA™.
Benefits of BCAA™:
•Stimulates Protein Synthesis.
•Reduces Muscle Breakdown.
•Improves Both Mental & Physical Performance.
•Prolongs Moderate Exercise Performance in Heat.
Features of BCAA™:
BCAA™'s, the core ingredients of Muscle Guard™, features many advantages to conserve muscle mass and to reduce muscle breakdown.
BCAA™ supplementation, before and after exercise, has beneficial effects for decreasing exercise-induced muscle damage and promoting muscle-protein synthasis.1
BCAA™'s are not only substrate for protein synthesis, but also modulate several components to the synthetic machinery and help to conserve muscle mass.2
BCAA™ supplementation may prevent muscle loss during chronic hypobaric hypoxia.3 Intake of BCAA™ during exercise can prevent or decrease the net rate of protein degradation caused by intense exercise.4 BCAA™ supplementation can reverse the reduction in serum glutamine concentration observed after prolonged intense exercise such as an Olympic triathlon.5
Consumption of BCAA™ before or during endurance exercise may improve both mental and physical performance.6.
