BCAAs are among the 9 essential amino acids for the human body, which means your body is unable to produce them on its own and needs dietary intake or supplements to obtain these important nutrients. BioTechUSA's BCAA 8:1:1 contains an increased amount of leucine, the first amino acid your body uses to build protein.
Why do you need amino acids?
Amino acids are the building blocks of one of our fundamental nutrients, proteins, which are commonly found throughout the body. There are some amino acids that the human body can produce (non-essential amino acids), while amino acids belonging to the other group (essential amino acids) are ingested with food. Of all the different amino acids, only 20 contribute to shaping the structure of proteins. Amino acids are vital for all bodily functions such as digestion, kidney function, or wound healing. Amino acids maintain skin, ligaments, muscles, tendons, internal organs, glands, hair, and nails. They also contribute to the production of hormones, neurotransmitter components, and enzymes. In addition, they also serve as a source of energy, as well as carbohydrate and lipid-producing nutrients. The richest source of basic amino acids are animal-derived foods; plant-derived foods often do not contain all amino acids.
BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS
BCAAs, i.e., branched-chain amino acids, consist of three amino acids: valine, isoleucine, and leucine, all of which are especially important for building muscle. Valine is a source of energy for muscles and contributes to cell metabolism. Isoleucine is an amino acid necessary for hemoglobin production and also contributes to recovery. Leucine contributes to the recovery of bones, skin, and muscles, and is also capable of increasing the absorption of proteins themselves. The three amino acids that make up BCAAs enhance each other's effect to build muscles and provide energy, and they have a natural and specific proportion in muscles. Like all BioTechUSA products, BCAA Zero is made from safe and carefully selected ingredients.
