Details
The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)Â 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.* BCAAs also play an important role in the maintenance of proper immune system function and the support of healthy aging.* Natural color variation may occur in this product. Spoon Stirred: Add 2 level teaspoons of BCAA Powder to a glass filled with 8 - 10 oz. of water or your favorite beverage and mix vigorously with a spoon for about 15 - 20 seconds. Take 1 to 3 times daily. Can be taken before meals or before and after exercise. Shaker: Add 2 level teaspoons of BCAA Powder to your shaker cup filled with 8 - 10 oz. of water or your favorite beverage. Cover and shake for about 10 seconds to ensure a good mix. Take 1 to 3 times daily. Can be taken before meals or before and after exercise. Tip: Try adding BCAA Powder to your favorite protein powder, meal replacement product, or weight-gainer shake.
• NOW Sports products are comprehensively tested so you can trust that our products are pure and effective for every level of athletics.
• PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE: BCAAs are critical for muscle protein synthesis.* Because BCAAs can be used as fuel during exercise, BCAA supplementation can help to preserve existing muscle tissue, so athletes should take before and after exercise.*
• GREAT FOR SHAKES: Try adding BCAA Powder to your favorite protein powder, meal replacement product, or weight-gainer shake.
• GMP Quality Assured: NPA A-rated GMP certification means that every aspect of the NOW manufacturing process has been examined, including our laboratory/testing methods (for stability, potency, and product formulation).
