Branched chain amino
acids (BCAA) consists
of three amino acids:
- Isoleucine
- Leucine
- Valine
The body uses these amino acids to
promote healing of injured tissue, speed recovery and protects
against
catabolism (muscle tissue breakdown).
BCAA account for one third of all the
protein in muscle tissue, this makes them
highly important in helping to build muscle
and provide energy to muscle cells.
BCAA
are particularly present in muscle tissue.
They play critical roles relevant to
exercise performance and the maintenance and
growth of skeletal muscle tissues.
BCAA
furnish major sources of constituents for
the biosynthesis of other amino acids, such as L-Glutamine and
L-Alamine,
which are important carbohydrate precursors
and fuel for the gut.
BCAA Benefits:
- Muscle building
- Prevents muscle loss
- Important for protein synthesis
- Isoleucine is needed in the formation of
hemoglobin
- Leucine is necessary for wound recovery in skin and bones, helps
protect muscle tissue
- Valine aids in balancing nitrogen content
in our bodies
