BCAA 5000
MVP's Pure 100% BCAA 5000 Powder provides a 5000 mg blend per serving of the three Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Valine, L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine) in every serving. The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), so named because of their unique branched chemical structure, are essential in that the body cannot make them from other compounds. In recent times, these amino acids have been investigated for their potential anticatabolic (preventing muscle breakdown) and anabolic (muscle building) effects.(1)



Other studies have shown that BCAA’s increase nitrogen retention, protein synthesis, and muscle tissue recuperation. They account for up to 90% of total amino acid uptake by the muscles.(2) The three BCAA’s are combined in balanced proportions to ensure maximum absorption into the body. Ideal for individuals who want maximum muscle tissue growth and repair.(3) *.
