Description: BCAA Complex contains the ideal 2:1:1 ratio of the free form, crystalline branched chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine combined with the conditionally essential amino acid L-Glutamine. The higher amount of Leucine reflects its importance in muscle metabolism asthe most effective branch chain amino acid for stimulation of protein synthesis and it is more readily utilized for energy. BCAAs exert an anticatabolic effect by reducing the breakdown of protein, thereby protecting muscle tissue. Glutamine is a preferred source of fuel for the intestinal cells and is in high demand by skeletal muscles following physical exertion. Vitamin B6 enhances amino acid metabolism.*

Description: BCAA 1000 contains a potent balance of Branched Chain Amino Acids which are building blocks of muscle mass and size. Metabolized directly in the muscle, BCAAs, may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acid groups for repair and rebuilding.
The Inside Scoop: Branch Chained Amino Acid Formula
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, consume two capsules 1-3 times daily with water or your favorite beverage or use as directed by a physician or licensed nutritionist.
Description: Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) by SciFit is comprised of the three essential amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. Most amino acids are not considered an important energy source, however BCAA's serve as important fuel sources for skeletal muscle tissue during periods of intense exercise. Under these conditions BCAA's promote protein synthesis and suppress protein catabolism.
Ingredient Details: Each serving contains: 460mg L-Leucine, 384mg L-Valine, and 156mg L-Isoleucine.
Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 2 capsules 30 minutes prior to training and 2 capsules immediately after training.
NOW Branched Chain Amino Acids are U.S. Pharmaceutical Grade. Contains no additives, corn, wheat, gluten, soy, milk or yeast. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) are 3 essential amino acids which are abundant in muscles. The branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) leucine, isoleucine and valine are three of the eight essential amino acids the human body must receive in food; they cannot be synthesized in the liver.

Description: Next to protein, amino acid supplements may be the most important supplement for all bodybuilders. And when it comes to the various aminos, few others can compare to the importance of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and BCAA 2000. In fact, for the bodybuilder, BCAA 2000 may very well be the most important amino acid product you ever buy. Theres nothing fancy or trendy about BCAA 2000. Over the years, the BCAAs found in BCAA 2000 have been studied extensively for their dual anabolic and anti-catabolic activities. You read that right, BCAA 2000 is both anabolic and anti-catabolic.
BCAAs are anabolic because of their ability to (1) significantly increase protein synthesis; (2) facilitate the release of hormones such as growth hormone (GH), IGF-1, and insulin; and (3) help maintain a favorable testosterone to cortisol ratio.
Nutrition Facts: Serving Size (caps) 4 Servings Per 30
Suggested Use: Take 4 capsules daily, or as directed. For best results take 2 capsules 45 to 60 minutes before training and 2 more capsules 15 to 30 minutes after training.
Description: Optimum Nutrition's BCAA 5000 Powder provides a 5000 mg blend of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Valine, L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine) in every serving. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.
Suggested Use: Mix one rounded teaspoon into your favorite beverage, protein shake or meal replacement and consumer 1-3 times daily or use as directed by a physician or licensed nutritionist.
Everyone already knows that their muscle cells are made up of mostly protein. To be a little more informative they, are made up of protein in the form of amino acids. The three amino acids most important to growth are called Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA).
As you probably know, there is a lot of research that has shown BCAA to provide some cool muscle building benefits like increased anabolism and nitrogen retention, anti-catabolic protection and improved muscle recovery. In a nut shell additional intake of BCAA has been shown to have a pro-anabolic action on muscle.

Description: SUPER ANTI-CATABOLIC FORMULA-Prolab Nutritions BCAA PLUS is a high potency formula containing the essential amino acids L-Leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine. These three protein sparing amino acids are known as branched chain. It is a well known fact that amino acids are responsible for protein synthesis, hence the nickname building blocks. Studies show BCAAs are important for muscle growth & recuperation. Muscle production depends on an increase in protein synthesis. BCAAs are converted to L-Alanine, an important source of muscle energy. This is done through a process called transamination, which is the transfer of amino groups into other amino acids. BCAAs may also be of benefit to you during extreme dieting by lessening the catabolic (breaking down) effect of muscle tissue. You can see why BCAAs are so important in your quest for muscle growth and recuperation. Your body can not manufacture its own BCAAs. They must be supplied through your diet.
