Bodybuilders and strength trainers have known about the benefits of BCAA for years, and there is more and more research being published in relation to their effect on increasing protein synthesis and reducing muscle breakdown. Our Branched Chain Amino Acid Tablets 1000mg deliver the optimal 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine.

Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) Tablets 1000mg Information

BP Basics Branch Chain Amino Acids comprise of leucine, isoleucine and valine in a 2:1:1 ratio. These three amino acids comprise 1/3 of the protein within our muscles, so are clearly important for building muscle and preventing muscle loss. Branch Chain Amino Acids are considered essential in that they are not produced by the body and so must be obtained through our diet. If they are not present in our diet, we would be unable to survive.

Where to find Branch Chain Amino Acids: The foods richest in Branch Chain Amino Acids are red meat and dairy products. They are however found in every protein-containing food. BP Basics Whey Protein Concentrate 80% is also especially rich in Branch Chain Amino Acids.

Branch Chain Amino Acids can also be referred to as: BCAAs, Leucine + Isoleucine + Valine.

Directions

Serving Size

5 Tablets (5g) pre-workout and 5 Tablets (5g) post-workout is a common dosage. Take BCAAs on an empty stomach, so there is no competition for absorption and uptake by other amino acids. BCAAs can also be mega-dosed upto 30g per day to prevent muscle catabolism and promote muscle anabolism and fat loss.

Timing

Branch Chain Amino Acids are best taken on an empty stomach to prevent competition for absorption by other amino acids. The best times to take BCAAs are 10-20 minutes before exercise, during exercise and immediately after exercise. They can of course be taken at other stages of the day, perhaps during periods where you will not be eating for a while.

Synergists

During exercise it is common to consume Branch Chain Amino Acids combined with a fast-release carbohydrate such as Dextrose or Maltodextrin. This is designed to prevent fatigue and thus improve athletic performance. BCAAs also stack well with BP Basics L-Glutamine; together they form an unbeatable muscle-preserving duo.

Safety

Branch Chain Amino Acids have been well-researched and are a safe supplement. We already consume them daily in our natural diet..

Toxicity

There is no known toxicity of Branch Chain Amino Acids.

Bans/Restrictions for Use

As far as we are aware there are no known bans or restrictions in regard to supplementing with Branch Chain Amino Acids.

leucine and other powders

im not talking about any product in particular here,but having bought the leucine...the taste is awful but woth taking...i take any of the dodgy tasting powder dry on a teaspoon,straight into your mouth with a drink on standby to have immediately....if u put it near the front of your tongue you barely taste it as your taste buds are further back...hope this helps???....Gaz.....

Awesome price and results!

Been using these for a few weeks now and they are definitely aiding my recovery when taken post workout and i am making good gains.

The tablets are pretty big but the shape makes them easy to swallow still and you cant complain for the price, especially as they are Leucine 2:1:1, never seen them cheaper anywhere!

Thanks again BulkPowders, another winning product here. Have used your BCAA powder before and although i had good results (better recovery during my marathon training) the taste started to get to me a bit. Been giving these a go for the last week and alreadt im seeing the same benefits as when i used the powder but without the taste issues. Will keep you updated how i get on over the next few weeks but its fair to say that based on current results i will be wanting to take this on a daily basis when i am training so you have a customer for life at this price lol!
