Branched chain amino acids

"LeVIs"

  • Leucine
  • Valine
  • Isoleucine

 The combination of these three branched chain amino acids (BCAA)  makes up approximately 1/3 of skeletal muscle in the human body.
BCAAs, particularly leucine, have anabolic effects on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and decreasing the rate of protein degradation in resting human muscle
