BCAA
Physical strain to the limits and intensive training is your gateway to your best performance? We have the key to making sure your muscles match your performance from workout to workout. Muscle maintenance carries these four letters: BCAA. Extreme Instant BCAA Powder provides your body with these essential amino acids. Thanks to the three BCAAs Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, your hard-earned muscles are regenerated and ready to start your next workout. Vitamin B6, which is so important for protein and energy metabolism, completes the power combination. Fruity and refreshing at the same time! The ultra-fine powder quickly dissolves in water and is naturally vegan.
What BCAA drinks do?
Your body can’t produce leucine, isoleucine and valine on its own – instead, your body sources the three essential amino acids from foods such as meat. BCAA supplements can be used as a workout aid. BCAAs can also be taken before or post-workout provided that the recommended daily dose is not exceeded.
If you’re cutting calories whilst training hard, your body might be exposed to a catabolic state. Despite following a calorie-deficit diet, you’ll need to keep your protein levels high so that your body has enough energy for your workout plan.
Pre-workout drink
Protein levels need to remain high to maintain and build muscle. BCAAs are the building blocks of protein and can be supplemented into a pre-workout drink to help make the most of your workout plan.
Intra-workout drink
BCAAs are the building blocks of protein. Sipping a BCAA drink during your workout will keep you hydrated. You can sip BCAAs mixed with a sports drink throughout a long training session. Naturally, your muscles will tire during a workout. Protein synthesis must exceed protein breakdown to build new muscle.
Post-workout drink
After a workout, your muscles will feel fatigued and will require energy to recover. When you’re on a calorie-deficit diet, over time your body can enter a catabolic state where it craves energy that it is missing. In addition to your short-term glycogen and fat stores, your body can turn to existing muscle for energy. For muscle growth, protein breakdown needs to be reduced.
A post-workout BCAA drink is a good way of using the supplement as a workout aid. Keeping the rate of protein synthesis higher than protein breakdown means muscles can recover, and new muscle tissue can grow. BCAAs are generally supplemented 2-4 times daily; around the time of your workout is beneficial, but you can also take a BCAA drink first thing on a morning when you wake up to make sure your body has enough essential amino acids.
