What is it?
This formula features a highly absorbable blend of BCAA’s: Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine that is synergized with Vitamins B1, B3, B5, potassium and glutamine for enhanced utilization. It mixes easily in water and has a delicious natural watermelon flavor.
How does it work?
- Provides the three branched-chain amino acids that are used preferentially by skeletal muscle for energy.
- Provides leucine, which is completely oxidized for energy in muscle.
- Leucine promotes protein synthesis in skeletal muscle.
- Supplementation with BCAA’s has been shown to decrease exercise-induced muscle protein breakdown, increase protein synthesis, and enhance post-exercise muscle recovery.
- When taken during training, BCAA’s decrease muscle soreness and the sensation of fatigue.
- Vitamin B1, thiamin, may enhance circulation, and can help with blood formation and the metabolism of carbohydrates.
- Vitamin B3, niacin, is required for cell respiration. It also helps in the release of energy, in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, to provide proper circulation, and healthy skin, with the functioning of the nervous system, and in the normal secretion of bile and stomach fluids.
- Vitamin B5, pantothenic acid, is used in the release of energy as well as the metabolism of fat, protein, and carbohydrates.
- Glutamine is an amino acid that aids muscle growth by increasing levels of leucine in muscle fibers, inhibiting breakdown and encouraging muscles to store more glycogen, which makes them fuller due to the water that glycogen holds. It also is an anti-catabolic agent.
- Provides Potassium to enhance amino acids absorption and fasting beneficial peptides utilization.
What are the benefits?
- Supports lean muscle mass
- Expedites recovery
- Decreases muscle waste with fasting
- Decreases fatigue
- Enhances fasting benefits
- Promotes muscle growth
