To continue my series on micro nutrients, today I’m going to talk about Branch Chain Amino Acids.
You can check out my other articles about the supplements and micro nutrients we carry here:
In layman’s terms B.C.A.A. or branch chained amino acids are basically the building blocks for muscle. When you train your muscles break down and they require specific nutrients (specific proteins: leucine, isoleucine, and valine) to rebuild. Those specific proteins are called branched chain amino acids. When you ingest branch chained amino acids after a workout it helps in several different ways…
– Decreases the amount of negative break down of the muscle
– Helps with soreness
– Helps the muscles recover faster
– Provides the fuel needed for protein synthesis (aka building muscle)
– It also helps cancel out seratonin levels during exercise which allows for less fatigue
As you can see, there are plenty of benefits to taking BCAA. We carry Tri-pep for this purpose.
The form allows it to be more bio available to it absorbs better and has a better flavor profile. Due to the form the body can use it more efficiently.
*of course none of these claims have been verified but the FDA.
We love Tri-pep because it works well for the use of BCAA. If you want to recover faster from your workouts, be less sore, and add more muscle I recommend this supplement.
