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.
