BCAA + L-Glutamine (Melon)
BCAA + L-Glutamine (Melon)
Simpill Supplements BCAA + L-Glutamine powder is a blend of three key essential branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine) and L-glutamine. BCAAs are three of the nine essential amino acids that are required to be obtained by the human body through diet, and are found in dietary protein, such as meat, dairy, and legumes. Glutamine is the most abundant and versatile amino acid in the body, and plays an important role many bodily functions such as immune and metabolic function.
BCAA Studied Benefits:
Protein Synthesis (Muscle Growth)
- BCAAS, in particular leucine, act as signaling molecules to stimulate protein synthesis in skeletal muscle. Studies have shown that leucine intake of five to eight (5-8) grams per day stimulates muscle protein synthesis and reduces age-related muscle loss.
Given the current scientific evidence, most longitudinal studies do not support an additional benefit of BCAA or L-glutamine supplementation in the context of strength increases, muscle growth or recovery, provided that daily total protein intake requirements are met. However, preliminary evidence shows that there may be a greater need for leucine (one of the three BCAAs) where it is not possible to consume sufficient, high-quality daily protein (such as during caloric restriction or dieting) and to decrease age-related muscle loss.
Overall, individuals seeking to optimize strength-related performance and body composition should focus on ensuring they are consuming adequate daily protein containing all nine essential amino acids. Unique benefits of BCAAs include the ability to stimulate and support muscle protein synthesis without added calories or sugars. Costing less than 70 cents per serving and with two (2) grams of leucine per serving, Simpill Supplements BCAA + L-Glutamine is a great beverage enhancer to support overall healthy weight and lean muscle growth.
