BCAA (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) has become essential in the lives of many athletes and active individuals, as it represents nearly 1/3 of the amino acids in muscle proteins.
NOW®BCAAPowder is the ideal combination:
Leucine: helps regulate blood sugar levels, the growth and repair of muscle tissue, the increase in hormone production, wound healing, and energy regulation.
Isoleucine: along with two other branched-chain amino acids, promotes muscle recovery after intense physical exercise, while on its own it is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, as well as for regulating sugar and energy levels.
Valine: has a tonic effect and is essential for muscle metabolism, tissue repair and growth, and maintaining nitrogen balance in the body. Since it is a branched-chain amino acid, it can also be used as an energy source by the muscles.
