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