The branched amino acids, also called BCAA's (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) are three: Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. These are essential amino acids that our body is not capable of de-synthesizing by itself, being necessary to incorporate them into our diet Amino acids are the essential units of proteins, which later become part of muscles, cartilage and are even essential Description for the immune system. In certain situations such as intense exercise, our body breaks down the amino acids that are part of our muscle proteins. For this reason, and in this situation, the consumption of branched chain amino acids is interesting. Following the recommendations of the latest published studies, we include a ratio of BCAAs 8: 1: 1 (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine, respectively), with a higher amount of L-Leucine than the traditionally used ratio, of 2: 1: 1. The formula is reinforced with L-Glutamine.
