These three essential amino acids play an important role in energy production and help muscles recover after strenuous physical exertion. For this reason, they are often consumed during training as an energy source and immediately afterwards to promote recovery. The delicious fruit-flavoured drink is suitable for all athletes who want to optimize muscle development and recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBCAA (\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"LT\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBranched-chain amino acids):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"LT\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"\u003ePromotes muscle growth.\u003c\/span\u003e One of the main purposes of BCAA consumption is to promote muscle growth. 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 increased protein synthesis by 22% 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 a day or two after the first workout. This soreness is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which occurs approximately 21-24 hours after training 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. Also, several studies show that BCAAs reduce protein breakdown during exercise and reduce creatine kinase levels (Creatine kinases are 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 reduce not only muscle pain but also post-workout fatigue. During training, your muscles use BCAAs, so their amount in the blood periodically decreases. When BCAA levels in the blood decrease, the amount of the essential amino acid tryptophan in the brain increases. In the brain, tryptophan is converted into serotonin—a chemical substance in the brain that is thought to contribute to the onset of fatigue during exercise.\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 wasting 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 (Breakdown is faster than production). Muscle wasting can be a sign of malnutrition and occurs in chronic infections, cancer, starvation, and is also a natural part of the aging process. In humans, BCAAs make up 35% of the essential amino acids present in muscle proteins. They make up 40-45% of all amino acids needed by the body, so it is important that BCAAs and other essential amino acids are replaced during muscle wasting to stop it or slow its progression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"QNT","offers":[{"title":"White grapefruit","offer_id":57204808581469,"sku":"5425002408961","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Forest berries","offer_id":57204808614237,"sku":"5425002408978","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Lemons","offer_id":57204808647005,"sku":"5425002407582","price":2.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0934\/4489\/9165\/files\/qnt-bcaa-8000.jpg?v=1743599091","url":"https:\/\/apolonopapildai.lt\/en\/products\/qnt-bcaa-8000-700ml","provider":"Apolono papildai","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
