FIRST FULLY INSTANTIZED BCAA POWDER
The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids that can't be produced by your body. They can only be taken in through diet. Because the BCAAs are very much in demand with all kinds of athletes, we've made them available to active adults everywhere in a formula that's instantized for easy mixing. ON's Instantized BCAA 5000 Powder is also available flavored and unflavored for stacking.
Why BCAA?
- Quick muscle recovery
- Protein synthesis
- Supports anti-catabolic activity
- BCAA prevents muscle breakdown after workouts
- Supports anabolic activity
- BCAA aids muscle building thereby facilitating recovery
1 ) What is BCAA?
Instantized BCAA powder is a blend of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Valine, L-Leucine, and L-Isoleucine) in every serving. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds.
2 ) How does it work?
BCAA aids quick muscle recovery and protein synthesis by supporting anti-catabolic activity that prevents muscle breakdown and also supporting anabolic activity that aids muscle building.
3 ) Why do I need BCAA?
BCAA is needed for quick muscle recovery and protein synthesis.
4 ) Does it have any side-effects?
Branched-chain amino acids are possibly safe when taken by mouth appropriately. Some side effects are known to occur, such as fatigue and loss of coordination. Branched-chain amino acids should be used cautiously before or during activities where performance depends on motor coordination, such as driving. Children (up to 6 months) and in case of certain conditions like pregnancy, breastfeeding, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease), branched-chain ketoaciduria, chronic alcoholism, surgery, or low blood sugar in infants need more precautions.
5 ) What is the best time to take BCAA?
It is best when taken pre-workout or intra-workout to increase performance and post-workout to enhance recovery.
6 ) How much BCAA do I need?
With BCAA's 4-8 grams before a workout and 4-8 grams after is optimal. Lesser amounts are effective but if increased performance and recovery are needed a higher dosage is more effective.
