It contains the three branched-chain amino acids L-leucine (Ajinomoto Co.), L-isoleucine (Ajinomoto Co.), and L-valine (Ajinomoto Co.) in a ratio of 8:1:1, respectively. They make up approximately one-third of muscle mass and are classified as essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body and require their intake through food. During endurance sports, the muscle's use of branched-chain amino acids for energy increases, reducing their concentration in the blood during exercise. Consequently, there will be less glucose formation via branched-chain amino acids. Supplementation with branched-chain amino acids could reduce muscle damage associated with resistance exercise by increasing glucose availability via branched-chain amino acids and reducing fatigue due to lack of substrates, which in turn leads to an increase in enzymes that mark muscle damage. In strength sports, BCAAs are used to optimize muscle recovery after high-intensity efforts with a high energy component and structural damage. BCAA 8:1:1 Leucine+ provides vitamin B6, contributing to normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Format: Packs containing 100 capsules of 535 mg each. Directions for use: Take 3-4 capsules or a measuring spoon at the start of training or competition (or with meals on non-training days). For maximum effect, it is advisable to continue taking the capsule throughout exercise, repeating these doses every 45-60 minutes. Take the same dose at the end of the exercise. If using the powder format, place the product directly in the mouth and drink water or fruit juice to facilitate swallowing and improve the flavor. Technical Sheet: In endurance sports, Infisport BCAA'S Leucine+ helps delay the onset of fatigue. It can also be used as an energy source, thus preventing the breakdown of muscle proteins and shortening muscle recovery time. Vegan. Gluten-free. Lactose-free.
