BCAAs & Vitamin B6 250tabs

Whilst a large percentage of Branched Chain Amino Acid consumption will be provided by protein-rich foods, supplementing with BCAAs for the hard-training individual will bring rewards, specifically under certain circumstances such as ‘protein-fasted’ training and intra-training applications.

BCAAs are comprised of the three amino acids, Leucine, Iso-Leucine and Valine.

Leucine is responsible for muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and is the most ‘anabolic’ of amino acids. Iso-Leucine is responsible for glucose uptake in to the cells. Although not a lot of specific research has been conducted in to the role of Valine, current studies suggest its use within the body to be similar to that of Leucine, albeit in a weaker state.

Taking BCAAs pre and intra-training will prevent a decline in blood-serum BCAA levels, therefore preventing potential tryptophan influx into the brain, which would in turn increase serotonin thereby leading to fatigue.

Note: If training fasted, we would suggest the use of BCAAs is crucial to muscle preservation during training.

Genetic Supplements BCAAs are a quality formulation of the essential amino acids Leucine, Iso-Leucine & Valine. They are considered essential because human beings cannot survive unless these amino acids are present in the diet. Together they comprise approximately 1/3 of human muscle tissue and are essential in muscular repair, growth, recovery and performance.

Genetic Supplements BCAAs also include energy releasing vitamin B6 which also contributes to protein and glycogen metabolism.
