BCAA Post Workout Powder is a blend of 5000mg of branched-chain amino acids and Glutamine for lean muscle and recovery. It contains the ideal ratio of 2 parts Leucine to 1 part Isoleucine and Valine. These amino acids increase protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, both essential to building lean muscle.
BCAAs are metabolized directly in the muscle and are considered essential because the body cannot produce them from other compounds. Instead, they must come from diet or supplementation.
Evidence Rating★★★★★Strong clinical evidence · BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) extensively studied for muscle protein synthesis and recovery

Science behind this product
BCAA for Sports: Scientists have proved that BCAA supplementation before and after exercise has beneficial effects for decreasing exercise-induced muscle damage and promoting muscle-protein synthesis. Source
BCAA for Muscle Soreness: Studies showed that BCAA supplementation reduces delayed onset muscle soreness following exercise training. Source
BCAA for Metabolism: A study suggests BCAAs are the substrates for synthesizing nitrogenous compounds and serve as signaling molecules regulating metabolism. Source
L-Glutamine for Strength: Research shows L-Glutamine supplementation improves strength and power of knee muscles. Source
