Why did we design BCAA 4:1:1? Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) make up 35% of lean muscle mass. This makes them an essential element to anyone’s diet, but particularly for those who are training to build lean muscle mass. Although BCCAs are present in foods such as fish, chicken & steak, to get the same optimum dosage as BCAA 4:1:1 you would have to consume large quantities which would not only be extremely costly, but could also compromise your body composition. How did we design BCAA 4:1:1? BCAA 4:1:1 contains three of the 9 essential amino acids, Leucine, Isoleucine & Valine, in a 4:1:1 ratio. These are classified as essential amino acids due to the fact that your body is incapable of synthesising them itself & must therefore be consumed via dietary intake. What are the Key Benefits? BCAAs are unique in the fact that they are metabolised directly in the muscle to kick-start recovery. Other amino acids, such as Lysine, are metabolised via the stomach before reaching the muscle tissue. Now available in Berry Blast & Tropical flavours, BCAA 4:1:1 powders are easily mixed with water or juice, leaving a smooth great tasting supplement. Is this Product for me? BCAA 4:1:1 can be taken by any male or female athlete, bodybuilder or sports enthusiast who is looking to supplement their diet with additional BCAA’s. When should I consume BCAA 4:1:1? We recommend consuming 5g of BCAA (1tsp) before, during or after your workout for optimum benefits. Alternatively, consume anytime throughout the day to supply your muscles with essential amino acids. Please note that the labelling on this product is provided in English as a minimum.
