BCAA are known as the stress amino acids. Thirty percent of the diet should be proteins when the body is under severe stress, because
stress causes protein to break down faster. BCAAs have regulatory effects on overall protein metabolism and are required in larger amounts
during stress than are other amino acids (and probably proportionately more leucine than either valine or isoleucine).

Furthermore, when given as supplements, BCAAs decrease the rate of breakdown and utilisation of other amino acids and stimulate protein synthesis. Therefore these BCAAs are useful in conditions of stress caused by trauma, surgery, liver failure, infection, fever, starvation, muscle training and weight lifting. BCAAs are unique in that skeletal muscles can use them directly as an energy source.

Function:

1) BCAA supports extreme muscle growth;

2) BCAA builds strength and tremendous power;

3) Timed release to support anti-catabolic effects;

4) BCAA supportS increased strength and mass;

5) Leucine critical for more signal for protein synthesis;

6) BCAA and leucine may support improved recovery and reduced soreness;

7) BCAA promote increased endurance exercise capacity;

8) BCAA supplementation provides support against catabolism;

9) Leucine and muscle protein metabolism.
