Description
What is BCAA 2:1:1 Instantized Powder?
Branched-Chain Amino Acids, better known as BCAAs, are a set of three essential amino acids, Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, which helps the body to build muscle, repair muscle damage, and regulate immune function. BCAA supplementation may promote muscle protein synthesis, increase overall muscle growth, and help reduce fatigue after intense exercise, and increase fat loss.† 
BCAA Benefits may include:
- Increase in muscle growth due to stimulation of muscle protein synthesis.†
- Has been shown to decrease muscle soreness.†
- BCAAs can decrease fatigue when taken during exercise.†
- May support healthy blood sugar levels by causing your muscles to take in more sugar from your blood.†
How Does BCAA 2:1:1 Instantized Powder Work?
The three amino acids in BCAA (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) are the largest pool of essential amino acids in the body and represent a relatively high percentage level in muscle tissues, around 14-15%. This group of amino acids is highly involved in the regulation of muscle mass and found in the standard diet, through the ingestion of protein. The metabolic process used for BCAAs is different compared to other amino acids in the body. BCAAs are metabolized in the skeletal muscles, whereas other amino acids pass through the liver. This metabolic process changes the effects of how these amino acids impact the body. As they metabolize, they turn into A-Keto acids via the enzyme branched-chain aminotransferase (BCAT). This allows these acids to be catabolized in the cell's mitochondria. The amino acid, Leucine, plays an essential role in muscle protein synthesis, Isoleucine induces glucose uptake to cells, and Valine helps muscle metabolism and tissue repair mechanisms. Leucine is the most critical amino acid when it comes to the discussion of muscle synthesis; Leucine activates a complex called mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin), which increases muscle protein synthesis and subsequently muscle growth. [1] Muscle Empire's BCAA is formulated to a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. It is instantized to dissolve faster and better in water. As a final note, a 2:1:1 is the most effective when it comes to taking BCAA's.

I ride a bicycle to keep in shape. Long miles...Blue Raspberry does it for me. Great taste.

BCAA has been excellent and have experienced very little fatigue and soreness even after Cardio days in the gym
Unflavored is NOT my first choice. I would have preferred fruit punch, but it's never available. When will other flavors available???.

Great Stuff
I love Hard Rhino supplements. Top notch high quality products.

Very pleased
This product has worked out great for me. So far I love it. I was worried about buying the unflavored powder but I mix it with black tea and I have no issues. I will buy this again.
