These amino acids are essential because they cannot be produced in the body and must be provided though supplementation or diet. BCAAs comprise approximately 30% of the total muscle protein pool and are the primary amino acids oxidized in the muscle during exercise and catabolic stress. For these reasons, athletes supplement with BCAAs to support increased muscle mass, reduced muscle damage, blunting fatigue, and increased energy during exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudies exist on the ergogenic benefits of BCAAs. The majority of them show that BCAAs, whether consumed throughout the day or pre, during, or post-exercise, decrease protein catabolism (breakdown) and support muscle protein synthesis, a physiological process responsible for muscle growth and repair. Furthermore, BCAAs are vitally important to glucose (energy) production, contributing to more than 40% of glucose production during sustained endurance exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA study done in 2009 found that subjects who supplemented with BCAAs while following an 8-week resistance training program had a greater decrease in body fat, an increase in lean mass, and greater strength gains on the bench press and squat compared to the non-BCAA group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe BCAAs found in NutraBio\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBCAA 5000\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eare in the research-backed ratio of 2:1:1 (leucine: isoleucine:valine) and come from plant sources as opposed to animal sources, such as feathers or hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-LEUCINE (2500 mg)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeucine is one of the essential BCAAs.
