Branched Chain Amino Acids
Support for Energy & Muscle Recovery after Exercise
Supplement Facts
For you, if you want to support energy and faster recovery after exercise
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) can:
Strengthen exercise performance (both mental & physical)
Contribute to faster recovery after training
Encourage protein synthesis in muscle & liver
Promote healthy brain function & immunity
Support cellular energy production
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) – L-valine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine – can support protein synthesis and help you recover physically and mentally after exercising, providing energy for your body.
Health benefits at a glance:
BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) are a group of three essential amino acids that must be obtained through diet since the body cannot produce them. They are needed to support protein synthesis after breaking down muscles.
Life Extension's Branched Chain Amino Acids is a great choice for active individuals who want to take a natural supplement to improve their sports performance. It can promote better recovery after exercise, both mentally and physically, and provide energy for the body.
Why it works:
If you are following a rigorous exercise program, chances are that your need for physical and mental recovery will become greater over time. This is where BCAAs come into the picture.
There are a variety of amino acids, but only L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine are called “branched chain amino acids". BCAAs are obtained through protein-rich foods like meat, dairy, and legumes or supplements.
BCAAs can help enhance protein synthesis in both liver- and muscle cells. Because they can be oxidized in the powerhouse of the cell, the mitochondria, these amino acids can also promote energy and serve as fuel sources for skeletal muscles.
While they are a popular supplement for athletes and exercise enthusiasts, their muscle-supporting and cognitive benefits can be had by anyone.
The science behind the product:
Supporting muscle strength, endurance & recovery
Athletes rely on BCAAs for a reason! Research shows they can help: (1,2)
Maintain & build muscle strength
Enhance endurance & muscle function
Promote physical performance
Support cognitive function
Encourage muscle recovery
However, BCAAs aren’t just for strength or endurance athletes – they can benefit anyone looking to support their health.
Supporting a strong immune system
A healthy immune system is essential for peak performance, and BCAAs play a key role in maintaining immune function. (3,4) Again, their benefits go beyond athletics: BCAAs can promote immune health for everybody. (5)
Branched Chain Amino Acids can help keep you at your best by supporting muscles, brain & immune defenses!
