BCAA Maxx 100 capsules

Among the most beneficial and effective supplements in any sports nutrition program are branched chain amino acids - leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids have far reaching effects in the body from building and repairing tissues, to producing chemicals that enable our brains to function optimally. Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combinations of incomplete vegetable foods. The essential BCAA’s are of special importance for athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle, rather than in the liver. Here’s how this works: After digestion, once protein is broken down into individual amino acids these aminos can either be used to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to produce energy. The BCAAs are distributed to the various tissues of the body via the systemic circulation. The BCAAs appear to be preferentially taken up by skeletal muscle, where they undergo similar catabolic reactions to those described above. Skeletal muscle appears to be the major site of both BCAA transamination and oxidation in humans. BCAAs are also taken up by other organs, particularly the brain and kidney, where they also undergo oxidation. During periods of physical stress, such as intense weight lifting and running, the body can enter a catabolic state - that is a state in which muscle tissue is broken down. When this happens, supplementing with BCAAs - especially leucine and its derivatives ketoisocaproate (KIC) and hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) is very beneficial in reducing protein breakdown.
