For Fitness and Beyond
The branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) valine, leucine and isoleucine are essential nutrients that your body usually gets by digesting protein-rich foods such as meat, dairy and legumes. BCAAs encourage protein synthesis in skeletal muscle and the liver, promote muscle function, support exercise performance and muscle recovery and support healthy brain and immune function.
Promotes muscle strength, endurance and recovery
BCAAs are used by athletes for a reason: Research shows that BCAAs help to both maintain and build muscle strength and endurance, support physical performance and brain function and promote muscle recovery.1,2 But it is important to note that BCAA supplementation can be advantageous for anyone — not just strength or endurance athletes.
