Peak PREBIO BCAA Amino Acid Drink Powder with prebiotics

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine.

• Leucine plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis and it aids in the production of growth hormone.
• Isoleucine can repair torn muscle tissue, it participates in haemoglobin synthesis, and induces glucose uptake into cells.
• Valine is vital to the nervous system and blood-brain barrier functions. It also fundamental in the growth of healthy muscle tissue and proper immune system function.

BCAAs are considered essential because the human body cannot produce them. Therefore,  it must be obtained through your diet.

BCAAs are mostly broken down in the muscle, rather than in the liver. Because of this, they are thought to play a role in energy production during exercise.

What are the benefits of including BCAA’s in your diet?

• They can boost muscle growth which leads to increased muscle mass.

• They help maintain normal blood sugar levels.

• They might enhance exercise performance. 

• They may also prevent weight gain and enhance fat loss.

• They can help reduce muscle damage and thus muscle soreness after exercise.

• They are effective at reducing fatigue after exercise, both in trained and untrained individuals.

• They have also successfully been used in a hospital setting to prevent or slow muscle loss and to improve symptoms of liver disease.

The best time to take BCAA supplements is before and/or after your workout. People who are trying to build muscle mass can also consume them in the morning and before going to bed.
