BCAA Branched Chain Amino Acids (2:1:1) 340G

Product information from Manufacturer: 

BCAA is a delicious lemon and lime flavour drink mix, which contains essential branched chain amino acids - leucine, isoleucine and valine. 

We have also included the following key synergistic nutrients in the formula...

• Vitamin B6 and vitamin C, both of which contribute to the normal function of the immune system, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal functioning of the nervous system.
• L-Citrulline malate, which is a direct precursor to nitric oxide.

Suitable for use during or immediately after exercise. 

Why use BCAA?

• These amino acids are considered "essential" because they cannot be manufactured by our bodies. This means they have to be consumed through the diet.
• Collectively, these 3 essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) are responsible for around 1/3 of skeletal muscle in the human body.
• BCAA supplements have been shown to help build muscle, decrease muscle fatigue and alleviate muscle soreness.
• Our BCAA powder has been specifically formulated to form the foundation of any rigorous training and exercise regime. 

Why use L-Citrulline malate?

There are two main forms of citrulline...

1. L-citrulline
The form naturally found in your body is L-citrulline. L-citrulline is helpful for athletic performance, because it improves blood flow to working muscles.

2. Citrulline malate
Citrulline malate is a combination of citrulline with malic acid. Malic acid is found in apples, among other fruits. Citrulline malate is a direct precursor to nitric oxide. This form of citrulline can help to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and availability - the fuel for hardworking muscles.

Citrulline malate can be beneficial for muscular endurance and strength performance. 

​Approved EFSA health claims:

• Vitamin B6 contributes to normal cysteine synthesis, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal homocysteine metabolism, normal protein and glycogen metabolism, normal psychological function, normal red blood cell formation, normal function of the immune system, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and the regulation of hormonal activity. 

• Vitamin C contributes to maintaining the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, protection of cells from oxidative stress, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and increases iron absorption.
