[USN] BCAA Syntho Stack

Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) are an essential supplement for those who train intensely on a consistent regular basis. There are over 20 amino acids, all of which combine to create a protein molecule.

Some amino acids retain a greater importance over others from a bodybuilding and sports perspective. For example leucine, isoleucine and valine (the 3 BCAA's) make up approximately 1/3 of the amino acids used in skeletal muscle tissue. With this in mind it is apparent how critical these 3 amino acids are for a full speedy recovery post training.

By ingesting a large amount of BCAA's after training, the body is placed in a greater state of anabolism and protein synthesis. This can yield many benefits from increasing lean body mass, decreasing recovery time and ensuring skeletal muscle tissue has the tools to repair itself optimally.

Many BCAA supplements are just that... 3 Amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, however USN believe in offering you the benefits of BCAA's alongside another ingredient known as Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA). ALA is an anti-oxidant which improves the action of insulin, increasing the extent of protein synthesis inside muscle cells. Not only is this beneficial especially when stacked with a fast acting carb/protein recovery drink, but it also prevents excessive damage induced by free radicals.

Finally bioperine is included to ensure all ingredients are maximised to their full potential by reducing the amount wasted within the digestive system.

The BCAA’s, which comprise of the essential amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, make up approximately one third of skeletal muscle in the human body, and play an important role in protein synthesis. When adequate amounts of BCAA’s are ingested post-workout, the body is placed in a greater state of hypertrophy with a positive amount of protein synthesis. This is extremely important for athletes because it will decrease recovery time as it increases the rate at which lean body mass is gained. The anti-oxidant Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) improves the action of insulin by increasing the muscle cells’ sensitivity to this hormone, which then promotes protein synthesis to an even greater extent.
