What Are Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)?

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.

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!

How Do BCAA Work?

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.

What Does BCAA 2:1:1 Powder Do?

Overall BCAA’s help provide the body with a supply of amino acids. As this unique blend combines 3 main amino acids, it can be difficult to understand is in our BCAA powder the Amino Acids contained within are:

  • Leucine

  • Isoleucine

  • Valine

Why Buy BCAA 2:1:1 Powder?

When Is The Best Time To Take BCAA 2:1:1 Powder?

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.

Who Should Take BCAA 2:1:1 Powder?
