B.C.A.A. ComplexTM The ultimate formula for muscle preservation during exercise

B.C.A.A. Complex STM by Peak Performance Nutrients is by far the most advanced branch chain amino product on the market. This cutting edge blend combines Branch Chain Amino Acids and necessary co-factors into one "ultimate product".

The term "branched-chain amino acids" (B.C.A.A.s) refers to three amino acids in particular-leucine, isoleucine, and valine. The B.C.A.A.s are unique in that they are the preferred amino acid used by the muscle for energy production and they play an important role in delaying fatigue during endurance exercise when fed prior to an event. B.C.A.A.s have been reported to have a definite value in improving recovery from a race, maintaining muscle mass and helping to prevent post-race muscle soreness.

B.C.A.A.s act as nitrogen carriers, which assist the muscles in synthesizing other aminos needed for anabolic (increasing) muscle action. In this action, Branch Chains stimulate production of insulin, the main function of which is to allow circulating blood sugar to be taken up by the muscle cells and used as a source of energy. This insulin production promotes amino acid uptake by the muscle. The chromium makes insulin much more effective in its job of ferrying glucose across cellular membranes. The zinc is important in the pancreas production of insulin. Vitamin B6 must be present for the system to effectively utilize the branch chains.
