Your building blocks’ building blocks

You know that protein is one of the most important nutrients, but have you ever thought about what it consists of? Indeed, amino acids. The proteins in the human body consist of a total of 20 amino acids, of which some are more effective than others in terms of muscle development.

Nine of these are considered “essential,” meaning that the body is unable to synthesize them. And of these 9 essential amino acids, three are known as branched-chain amino acids, or BCAAs.

Three of a kind

These three BCAAs are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. They make up about 30%–35% of the proteins present in muscle tissue and play an important role in growing and maintaining muscle mass. Branched-chain amino acids are essential, so they must be obtained through protein-rich foods as part of your diet. Consequently, BCAA supplements are highly sought after by all kinds of athletes in pursuit of fuel for their muscles.

Backup on the way

Prozis BCAA 5000 is an extremely concentrated supplement with a 2:1:1 Leucine-Isoleucine-Valine ratio. For a synergistic effect, the formula is enriched with riboflavin and vitamin B6, which contribute to the energy-yielding metabolism and help maximize the benefits fostered by the three BCAAs.
