AOR BCAA, Powder (300g)

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids that cannot be made within the body and must be obtained through diet: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Although protein is needed to stimulate muscle growth in general, BCAAs, and especially leucine, are particularly vital to muscle growth and repair. In fact, studies have shown that protein blends without leucine did not actually stimulate muscle development. When taken before and after exercise, BCAAs can prevent protein breakdown and enhance recovery time by reducing muscle soreness. BCAAs can also help prevent muscle loss in people in weakened conditions. They support muscle maintenance and have the unique ability to promote muscle growth in nonexercising muscles when other muscles are worked. As a result, BCAAs are recommended for frail or elderly people as much as exercise enthusiasts to promote strength and independence and to support healthy immune system function. BCAAs may also help regulate blood sugar balance and have been suggested to help with mood support. AOR ADVANTAGE AOR’s BCAA offers a vegetarian source for valuable branch-chained amino acids. Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs are primarily processed inside the mitochondria of muscle cells, making them extremely effective at stimulating muscle building.
