Amino Acids 1,000mg Dietary Supplement Pure and Potent Ingredients With: Egg Whites, Rich in Essential and Branch Chain Amino Acids Made in the United States 1 Bottle, 100 Capsules Product Description: There are 20 different amino acids that make up the thousands of different proteins in the human body. Nine of the 20 are considered essential amino acids, meaning they cannot be made by your body and must be obtained through your diet. Of the nine essential amino acids, three are the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): Leucine Isoleucine Valine "Branched-chain" refers to the chemical structure of BCAAs, which are found in protein-rich foods such as eggs, meat and dairy products. Benefits of Supplementing with BCAAs: Increase Muscle Growth. One of the most popular uses of BCAAs is to increase muscle growth. The BCAA leucine activates a certain pathway in the body that stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is the process of making muscle. In one study, people who consumed a drink with 5.6 grams of BCAAs after their resistance workout had a 22% greater increase in muscle protein synthesis compared to those who consumed a placebo drink. Decrease Muscle Soreness. Some research suggests BCAAs can help decrease muscle soreness after a workout. It's not uncommon to feel sore a day or two after a workout, especially if your exercise routine is new. This soreness is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which develops 12 to 24 hours after exercise and can last up to 72 hours. While the exact cause of DOMS is not clearly understood, researchers believe it's the result of tiny tears in the muscles after exercise. BCAAs have been shown to decrease muscle damage, which may help reduce the length and severity of DOMS. Several studies show that BCAAs decrease protein breakdown during exercise and decrease levels of creatine kinase, which is an indicator of muscle damage. Reduce Exercise Fatigue. Just as BCAAs may help decrease muscle soreness from exercise, they may also help reduce exercise-induced fatigue. Everyone experiences fatigue and exhaustion from exercise at some point. How quickly you tire depends on several factors, including exercise intensity and duration, environmental conditions and your nutrition and fitness level. Your muscles use BCAAs during exercise, causing levels in your blood to decrease. When blood levels of BCAAs decline, levels of the essential amino acid tryptophan in your brain increase. In your brain, tryptophan is converted to serotonin, a brain chemical that is thought to contribute to the development of fatigue during exercise Prevent Muscle Wasting. BCAAs can help prevent muscle wasting or breakdown. Muscle proteins are constantly broken down and rebuilt. The balance between muscle protein breakdown and synthesis determines the amount of protein in muscle. Muscle wasting or breakdown occurs when protein breakdown exceeds muscle protein synthesis. In humans, BCAAs account for 35% of the essential amino acids found in muscle proteins. They account for 40% of the total amino acids required by your body. Therefore, it's important that the BCAAs and other essential amino acids are replaced during times of muscle wasting to halt it or to slow its progression.
