Branched Chain Amino Acids 500 mg., 120 capsules
$12.22
Branched-chain amino acids include leucine, isoleucine and valine. These
amino acids are needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue during physical
stress and intense exercise. From the perspective of athletes, BCAAs
function as anabolic agents and induce sparing, which allows the body to
burn fat and not muscle.
Nutrient needs often increase faster than calorie
needs in athletes. Ultimate Nutrition is committed to providing
athletes with the best products to fulfill exactly those needs. Ultimate
Nutrition's 100% Crystalline Massive BCAA is one product designed to
increase endurance, lengthen the time to fatigue and improve performance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
1. What Are the Natural Sources of BCAAs?
Although branched-chain amino acids are present in all
protein-containing foods, dairy and red meats contains the largest amounts
of BCAAs. Whey protein and egg protein supplements are additional sources of
BCAAs (Please refer to the product profiles to learn more about whey protein
and egg protein supplements.)
2. Could One Be Deficient in BCAAs?
Periods of intense physical stress, such as intense
weightlifting and long-distance running, can create a so-called catabolic
state in which muscle tissue is broken down faster than it can be recovered
and replenished.
3. What is the Optimal Dose of BCAAs?
A diet containing animal protein should furnish
adequate amounts of BCAAs. Athletes involved in intense training, however,
require supplementation with BCAAS. Recommended dosages are roughly 2 grams
a day each leucine and valine and 1 gram daily of isoleucine.
4. What Are the Side Effects of BCAA Supplementation?
No side effects have been reported with BCAA
supplementation, if they are taken in the recommended amounts.
5. Could BCAAs be taken along with Other Nutrients?
It is advisable to take BCAAS with whole proteins,
such as lean meat and poultry, and multiple vitamins and minerals,
particularly with B-type vitamins.
