NOW Branched Chain Amino Acids
Description
The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are essential amino acids, and thus cannot be made in the body. BCAAs are critical for muscle protein synthesis, and because BCAAs can be used as fuel during exercise, BCAA supplementation can help to preserve existing muscle tissue. In addition, BCAAs can support the recovery process by promoting the normal repair processes that take place after exertion. NOW Branched Chain Amino Acids supports maintenance of proper immune system function and healthy aging.*

Take 1 to 3 times daily. Can be taken before meals or before and after exercise. Shaker: Add 1 ½ level teaspoons of BCAA Powder to your shaker cup filled with 8 oz. of water or your favorite beverage. Cover and shake for about 10 seconds to ensure a good mix.
