Muscle protein, as well as protein throughout the body, is composed of the same twenty amino acids. There are three amino acids, known as branched chain amino acids or BCAAs, that are absolutely critical to muscle protein and maximizing muscle strength and size in response to resistance exercise.  The BCAAs are leucine, isoleucine, and valine, and they are found in muscle protein in an approximate ratio of 2:1:1. BCAA2200 also provides BCAAs in this “muscle ratio”.   Moreover, there is a very unique relationship between muscle and BCAAs. For instance, most of the BCAAs consumed in diet (food and supplements) are not metabolized by the liver, as most other amino acids are, making them more available to muscle and other tissue. Furthermore, leucine is often considered the most important BCAA and building block amino acids in general as it functions as a signal to muscle to dial up muscle protein building.    BCAAs are also used to promote muscle recovery and can help with muscle soreness. Precision Engineered’s BCAA 2200 also contains vitamin B-6, which plays an essential role in BCAA metabolism and absorption.    Supports  exercise induced development of muscle size and strength Helps muscle recovery and management of muscle soreness May help prevent muscle protein breakdown WARNING: If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, planning any medical or surgical procedure or have any medical condition, consult your doctor before use. Discontinue use and consult your doctor if any adverse reactions occur.
