Swedish Supplements BCAA Engine 4:1:1 400g

Swedish Supplements BCAA Engine 4:1:1 400g. Powdered food product for athletes with sweeteners. These are branched-chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. This product is also enriched with L-Glutamine. This combination is especially important for muscle protection and recovery. The body cannot produce BCAA amino acids itself, and during physical exertion, muscles absorb these amino acids first.

BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) – are branched-chain amino acids that are a component of proteins. It is a combination of three different amino acids necessary for muscle growth and faster recovery after training. These amino acids make up 25% of our muscle protein, so their consumption is especially important in all strength sports.

BCAA consists of three different amino acids: valine, leucine, isoleucine. BCAA amino acids belong to essential amino acids, meaning the human body does not produce them itself. This means that maximum muscle growth and better recovery after training are only possible when the body receives the necessary amount of BCAA from external sources. If the diet is not balanced and a sufficient amount of BCAA is not obtained from nutrition, additional BCAA consumption is recommended for maximum results.

BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids):

• Promotes muscle growth. One of the main goals 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 had a 22% increase in protein synthesis compared to those who did not.
• Helps reduce muscle soreness. Often, after starting sports, severe pain is felt one or two days after the first workout. This pain is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which appears approximately 21-24 hours after training and can last up to 72 hours. BCAA has been shown to reduce muscle damage, which can help reduce the duration and intensity of DOMS. Also, several studies show that BCAA reduces protein breakdown during physical exertion and reduces creatine kinase levels (creatine kinase is an indicator of damaged muscle tissue).
• Helps reduce fatigue. BCAA can help reduce not only muscle soreness but also post-workout fatigue. During training, your muscles use BCAA, so their level in the blood periodically decreases. When BCAA levels in the blood decrease, the level 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 thought to contribute to fatigue during physical exertion.
• Prevents muscle breakdown. BCAA 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 (broken down faster than produced). 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 the human body, BCAA makes up 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 BCAA and other essential amino acids are replaced during muscle wasting to stop or slow its progression.
