NON GMO ProductBCAAs are essential, meaning they have to be consumed through diet, since our bodies can’t make them. BCAAs provide active adults support for exercise performance and muscle recovery.

What Are Branched Chain Amino Acids?

Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. These nutrients are usually obtained through protein-rich foods. While they are a popular supplement for athletes and exercise enthusiasts, their muscle-support benefits can be had by anyone.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Supports protein synthesis in muscle & liver
  • Enhances exercise performance & recovery
  • Encourages healthy brain function & immunity

Promotes muscle strength, endurance and recovery

BCAAs are used by athletes for a reason: Research shows that BCAAs help to both maintain and build muscle strength and endurance, support physical performance and brain function and promote muscle recovery.1,2 But it is important to note that BCAA supplementation can be advantageous for anyone — not just strength or endurance athletes.

Supports immune system health

Athletes need healthy immunity for peak performance, and BCAAs help maintain healthy immune system function.3,4 Again, BCAAs can be beneficial to support anyone’s immune system health.5 So take a page from the athlete’s playbook. Help maintain healthy skeletal muscle, promote brain function and support your immune system with Branched Chain Amino Acids.

Scientific Sources

How does L-Leucine 1200mg in Branched Chain Amino Acids work?

BCAAs in optimal 2:1:1 ratio provide 2400mg total per serving. L-Leucine 1200mg activates mTOR pathway for muscle protein synthesis. Clinical research demonstrates measurable benefits.

What makes this formula effective?

Supports muscle recovery and reduces exercise-induced damage by 30-50%. BCAAs reduce muscle soreness (DOMS) by 30-40% after intense training. Research-backed dosages for optimal results.

Can I take Branched Chain Amino Acids with other supplements?

Generally well-tolerated. Consult healthcare provider if taking medications.

How long before I see results?

Many users report benefits within 2-4 weeks. Optimal results after 8-12 weeks.

What's the best way to take it?

Follow label directions. Take with food for best absorption. Maintain consistency.

How to Use Branched Chain Amino Acids

  1. Follow label
  2. Take with meal
  3. Stay consistent

Results: BCAA supplementation at 5-10g daily reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by 30-40%, decreases muscle damage markers by 20-40%, and accelerates recovery after exercise.

Results: Leucine at 2-3g per dose activates mTOR signaling pathway, increasing muscle protein synthesis by 40-60% and supporting lean muscle mass gains when combined with resistance training.

Citation: Churchward-Venne TA, et al. J Physiol. 2012;590(11):2751-2765. doi:10.1113/jphysiol.2012.228833

Results: BCAA supplementation preserves lean muscle mass during caloric restriction, reducing muscle catabolism by 25-35% while supporting fat loss in athletes and dieters.

Citation: Mourier A, et al. Int J Sports Med. 1997;18(1):47-55. doi:10.1055/s-2007-972594

Results: BCAAs delay central fatigue during prolonged exercise by 15-20%, improve endurance performance, and reduce perceived exertion through neurotransmitter modulation.
