GET THE FACTS
Why it Works
The Problem
During a calorie deficit, your body will prioritize energy production over muscle preservation utilizing more BCAAs in the skeletal muscle. BCAAs are also used during exercise for energy production.
The Science
Leucine plays a significant role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis, especially when combined with an exercise program. With a lower protein intake from calorie reduction, we want to help keep the muscles fueled.
The Solution
We believe BCAA Boost is an important supplement due to a shift in using more BCAAs as a source of energy through pathways such as gluconeogenesis (the synthesis of glucose from non-carbohydrate sources). Plus, BCAAs help your muscles recover and stimulate muscle protein synthesis as part of an active lifestyle. *
FAQ's
We Thought You Might Ask
Our team of medical professionals and nutritionists have the answers.
If you meet your daily protein requirements through diet alone, additional BCAA supplementation may not be necessary. However, individuals with lower calorie intake may benefit from supplemental BCAAs especially as part of an exercise program.
BCAAs are abundant in protein-rich foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
This product is appropriate for vegetarians.
BCAAs are essential amino acids—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—crucial for protein synthesis, muscle repair, and energy production. Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs are metabolized directly in skeletal muscle.
