The body requires a certain amount of branched chain amino acids in order to maintain muscle tissue, as well as during times of physical stress or intense exercise. At times like these it may be necessary to include a supplement such as Solgar BCAA Plus in your diet.
Branched chain amino acids/BCAA is the collective name given to three of the eight essential amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) that are required to make protein. These three amino acids are called branched chain amino acids because their molecular structure has a ‘branch’ extending from the main trunk of the molecule. BCAA make up about one third of the body’s skeletal muscle. Should the body not receive sufficient amounts of BCAA it will break down the muscle tissue in order to obtain it. By taking a BCAA supplement either before or after a workout, the tissues are spared this anabolic breakdown. These supplements are popular with athletes because it promotes muscular strength. Since it is important to take BCAA in balance with one another, a supplement is often the most convenient way of obtaining the correct amounts.
