BCAA Pro combines the three essential amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine. These have been combined at what is universally recognised as the ideal ratio of 2-1-1.

Branched chain refers to their chemical structure, which sets them apart from other amino acids.

The BCAAs valine and leucine play an important role in stress, energy and muscle metabolism. These two amino acids are used directly by skeletal muscle as energy sources and are thought to have anabolic properties.

This means they help promote protein production, storage and muscle growth.

BCAAs are well known for their potential muscle building effects. BCAAs have an effect on all protein metabolism, and during periods of stress are required by the body in larger amounts than any other amino acids.

BCAAs are thought to decrease the rate of breakdown and utilisation of other amino acids, and may help build muscle during and following exercise by decreasing protein breakdown and increasing protein synthesis.

BCAA supplementation may also improve mood and the performance of difficult tasks following exercise.
