Leucine activates muscle protein synthesis, i.e., the process of muscle protein production. In one study, people who consumed a BCAA drink after resistance training showed a 22% increase in protein synthesis compared to those who did not.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"LT\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHelps reduce muscle soreness.\u003c\/span\u003e Often, after starting to exercise, significant soreness is felt one or two days after the first workout. This soreness is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which occurs approximately 21-24 hours after a workout and can last up to 72 hours. BCAAs have been shown to reduce muscle damage, which can help reduce the duration and intensity of DOMS. Several studies also show that BCAAs reduce protein breakdown during physical activity and decrease creatine kinase levels (Creatine kinase is an indicator of damaged muscle tissue).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"LT\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"\u003eHelps reduce fatigue.\u003c\/span\u003e BCAAs can help not only reduce muscle soreness but also post-workout fatigue. During training, your muscles use BCAAs, so their level in the blood periodically decreases. When BCAA levels in the blood decrease, the amount of the essential amino acid tryptophan increases in the brain. In the brain, tryptophan is converted into serotonin – a chemical in the brain that is believed to contribute to the onset of fatigue during physical activity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"LT\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"\u003ePrevents muscle breakdown.\u003c\/span\u003e BCAAs can help prevent muscle loss or breakdown. Muscle proteins are constantly broken down and rebuilt (synthesized). The balance between muscle protein breakdown and synthesis determines the amount of protein in the muscles. Muscle breakdown or wasting occurs when protein breakdown exceeds muscle protein synthesis (broken down faster than produced). Muscle wasting can be a sign of malnutrition and occurs with chronic infections, cancer, starvation, and is also a natural part of the aging process. In humans, BCAAs constitute 35% of the essential amino acids present in muscle proteins. They make up 40-45% of all amino acids required by the body, so it is important that BCAAs and other essential amino acids are replaced during muscle wasting to stop or slow its progression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Genius Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Peaches","offer_id":57205073740125,"sku":"5403478262140","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Watermelons","offer_id":57205073772893,"sku":"5409486921567","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pineapples","offer_id":57205073805661,"sku":"5449885032013","price":26.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4489\/9165\/files\/iBCAA_450g_45serv_Genius_Nutrition_Fresh_Peach_1500x_e07b0451-c491-4ab6-830e-af08ca75089a.webp?v=1753365954","url":"https:\/\/apolonopapildai.lt\/en\/products\/genius-nutrition-ibcaa-450g","provider":"Apolono papildai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
