L-Leucine is an essential amino acid, meaning it can not be made by the body, and must be acquired through food or dietary supplements. It comprises about 8% of the total amino acid count in your body's protein structures and is the fourth most concentrated amino acid in skeletal muscle tissue. L-Leucine stimulates muscle protein synthesis and may be the major fuel involved in anabolic (tissue building) reactions. This makes them especially important for body builders and other athletes in sports that demand explosive strength. The branch chain amino acids valine, leucine, and isoleucine enhance protein synthesis in liver cells and muscle cells and help promote muscle recovery after exercise. They contribute to energy production in the body by being oxidized in the cell’s mitochondria. Branch chain amino acids are used by body builders and athletes to produce an anabolic effect and assist in the repair of micro tears in muscle tissue that are a normal result of exercise. Leucine is thought to be the most effective BCAA for preventing the body’s burning of muscle stores for energy during intense workouts because it is converted to glucose more quickly than isoleucine and valine.

     • Maintains nitrogen balance.
     • Preserve lean muscle tissue.
     • Supplies the body with energy when under stress.
     • Preserves muscle glycogen (glucose stored in muscle tissue used to power muscular contraction).
     • Enhances thinking abilities that can decline as physical activity becomes more intense.

 L-Isoleucine is an essential amino acid. This amino acid cannot be manufactured in the body, and needs to be supplied in the diet. Isoleucine is thought to play the biggest role in increasing endurance and helping heal, repair and grow muscle tissue damaged from injury and strenuous exercise and training. Isoleucine is especially important to serious athletes and body builders because of its role in boosting energy production and assisting the body recover from strenuous physical activity. Isoleucine, together with the other two branched-chain-amino-acids promote muscle recovery after physical exercise and on its own it is needed for the formation of hemoglobin as well as assisting with regulation of blood sugar levels as well as energy levels. It is also involved in blood-clot formation.

     • Required for muscle tissue maintenance.
     • Preserves muscle glycogen stores (energy).
     • Prevents muscle protein deterioration especially during exercise.
     • May be helpful for individuals who exercise in extreme conditions.

L-Valine is an essential amino acid that stimulates protein synthesis directly in muscle tissue. Valine works in the body as a fuel involved in anabolic (tissue-building) reactions, and stimulates muscle protein synthesis. Valine helps optimize the body's metabolism, providing energy and assistance with the repair and growth of damaged tissues. Valine, helps stimulate the central nervous system and is needed for proper mental functioning. Valine may also improves liver function by assisting with removal of potentially toxic excess nitrogen from the liver and aids in nitrogen transport to other tissues in the body as needed. Increased valine intake may improve liver function for Individuals with various types of liver disease and liver damage from alcohol or drug abuse.
