BCAA-Pro™ is a high potency formula containing the Branched Chain Amino Acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, as well as L-Glutamine the most abundant amino acid found in skeletal muscle tissue. Also incorporated into BCAA-Pro™ are vitamin C, vitamin B 6 and methoxyisoflavone. BCAA's are essential amino acids, meaning they must be obtained through the diet. Athletes and bodybuilders recognize the importance of a diet rich in BCAA's as BCAA's can INCREASE PROTEIN SYNTHESIS and SUPPRESS PROTEIN BREAKDOWN . BCAA-PRO amino acids increase protein synthisis BCAA's are rapidly oxidized during exercise so supplemental intake can play a significant role in lean body mass accrual and muscle preservation. Glutamine is added into BCAA-Pro's™ formulation to work synergistically with the BCAA's at preventing muscle tissue breakdown and to increase muscle cell volume. Additionally, the inclusion of vitamin B6 and vitamin C help assist the absorption of the amino acids into the blood stream. Further, methoxyisoflavone was added as the last ingredient into BCAA-Pro™ formulation for its nutrient partitioning effects, further PRESERVING MUSCLE MASS.
