BCAA

This 100 percent pure BCAA product from Genetix Nutrition provides all three "branched-chain amino acids" (BCAAs) in every serve. These agents are essential for the human body as it can't produce them itself. This is hugely important as they are needed to support optimal muscle function and repair. 

This product has been specifically formulated for the anticatabolic (muscle breakdown) and (muscle building) effects of BCAAs that assist active people in achieving ultimate human performance.

The BCAAs are also known as leucine, isoleucine, and valine. What sets them apart from other amino acids is that they have some very specific and very special properties, such as:

• Promoting protein synthesis in muscle
• BCAAs taken during training have been shown to increase both growth hormone and insulin, thus increasing anabolism and anti-catabolism
• Unlike other amino acids they're 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 also caused it to increase
• They have been shown to decrease post-workout muscle soreness
• According to a 1997 study published in Medicina Dello Sport, when taken 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after a workout, BCAAs were shown to increase lean body mass and improve strength in the bench press and squat
• BCAAs have been shown to increase exercise endurance, especially exercise conducted in high temperatures

Obviously, we should all be using BCAAs! As little as four grams of BCAA can kick start the body from a catabolic state to muscle growth environment.
