Sourced using only premium grade ingredients, this BCAA 2:1:1 powder contains the optimal balance of leucine, isoleucine and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio.
Also known as Branch Chain Amino Acids made up from Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, they make up a unique premium blend of amino acids all in one convenient pouch. BCAA’s are commonly found in different forms of blends depending on which amino acid is more present than others. BCAA’s are building blocks of protein and muscle, helping them to recover and repair after physical activities.
When exercising, your body can often go into a catabolic state, meaning that you start to use and break down tissue such as fats and muscle to produce energy for muscle contractions. Although this may sound good that your body is using unwanted fat, in fact, it can be the complete opposite and you can begin to lose muscle as your body breaks down proteins instead as an energy source. Unfortunately, you can't stop protein breakdown, however by increasing the rate of protein synthesis compared to protein breakdown helps to build muscle and reduce that dreaded muscle loss.
Essentially - that feeling, the day after leg day, and you're struggling to do the simple things in life. Your legs haven't recovered and now you're suffering the consequences. Surely for hitting a PB, you don't deserve this? Well, unfortunately, that’s what happens when you don't consume your BCAA’s!
Unique Amino Acid Blend
BCAAs help provide the body with a supply of amino acids. This unique blend contains three main amino acids, which are sometimes difficult to understand. In our BCAA powder, the amino acids included are:
Leucine
Isoleucine
Valine
Our BCAA's are instantised so they dissolve easily in water and are available in refreshing flavours including Berry Blitz. We even offer unflavoured for you to supercharge your protein shake.
It's said that sipping on BCAAs during a workout can help delay onset fatigue and give you that mental and physical boost during your workout. Maintaining high levels of BCAA throughout the day is essential to stop your body from using muscle protein as fuel, and use fat stores instead. Working out increase muscle stress, giving your body the additional amino acids before and after will reduce tiredness and help you push through any pain. We recommend that you take BCAA 2:1:1 30-45 minutes prior to working out to allow your body to absorb and direct them to your muscles.
