Life Extension Branched Chain Amino Acids 90ct

Description

Life Extension Branched Chain Amino Acids delivers the three essential BCAAs — leucine, isoleucine, and valine — in their free-form state for rapid absorption and utilization. These critical amino acids play a central role in muscle protein synthesis, exercise recovery, and maintaining lean muscle tissue during intense training periods.

Key Benefits

• Provides all three branched chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine
• Free-form amino acids for faster absorption compared to protein-bound sources
• Supports muscle recovery and reduces exercise-induced muscle soreness
• Promotes protein synthesis to help build and maintain lean muscle mass
• Helps preserve muscle tissue during caloric restriction or intense training
• 90 capsules provide a convenient supply for daily supplementation

Branched chain amino acids account for approximately 35 percent of essential amino acids in muscle protein. Unlike other amino acids that are metabolized in the liver, BCAAs are primarily metabolized directly in muscle tissue, making them uniquely important for muscle health and exercise performance. Leucine, in particular, is the primary activator of the mTOR signaling pathway, which triggers muscle protein synthesis.

During intense exercise, your body breaks down muscle protein to fuel activity. Supplementing with BCAAs before, during, or after training helps shift the balance toward protein synthesis rather than breakdown. This is especially valuable during cutting phases when caloric intake is reduced, as BCAAs help preserve hard-earned muscle while your body burns fat for energy.

Life Extension Branched Chain Amino Acids are ideal for athletes, bodybuilders, and fitness enthusiasts who want to optimize their recovery between training sessions. They are also beneficial for older adults looking to maintain muscle mass and anyone engaged in regular physical activity who wants to support their muscles with the building blocks they need most.
