BCAAs: An essential for all athletes who want to preserve their muscles! 

Whether you practice endurance or strength sports, BCAAs are your ally to improve your recovery and become more efficient.

What are BCAAs?

BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) is the English name for the three branched amino acids: Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. BCAAs are, alongside Whey and Creatine, one of the best-known food supplements for gaining muscle mass and maintaining it.

But their benefits are not only limited to muscle development: BCAAs are increasingly used to improve performance in endurance sports.

BCAAs are part of the essential amino acids. This means that the body cannot produce them itself. They must therefore be found in the diet. In sports practice, however, it remains complicated to consume as much as the body needs. This is why supplementation is necessary to meet the body's needs and optimize recovery periods.

BCAAs represent 35% of muscle volume and are immediately transformed in the muscle and not stored. During long efforts, a considerable part of these branched amino acids is used by the muscles. If their concentration is too low, the muscle is “destroyed” (this is the phenomenon of catabolism) to provide the missing fuel necessary for the production of glycogen (source of energy used by the muscle during exercise).

What are their advantages?

• Helps develop muscle mass and preserve it
• Provides instant energy to muscles during exercise
• Boosts performance by affecting the availability of carbohydrates during exercise
• Reduces muscle damage caused by exercise
• Improves protein synthesis
• Reduces the appearance of aches
• Improves resistance to fatigue
• Accelerates muscle recovery and repair
• Contributes to fat loss, as part of a cut

For which sports profiles?

BCAAs are above all associated with the preservation of muscles. They help build muscle and maintain existing muscle mass by preventing muscle breakdown. Which explains their success with bodybuilding or bodybuilding enthusiasts.

These branched amino acids are also useful in endurance sports for their benefits, allowing the body to hold up during exercise.

They are also very appreciated by people practicing Crossfit®, which requires both extensive muscular training and endurance work.

In reality, all athletes benefit from the consumption of BCAAs: bodybuilding, fitness, running, cycling, tennis, boxing, swimming, football, rugby, handball, etc.

When and how to consume them?

During physical effort: BCAAs constitute a quickly available source of energy. Consuming BCAAs allows the muscles to have immediate fuel, rather than drawing on its amino acid reserves, thus avoiding its degradation (catabolism).

After training: they promote muscle development and accelerate recovery.

What ratio?

There are different ratios of BCAA, the difference lies in the concentration of Leucine.

For example, a ratio of 4:1:1 contains 4 parts Leucine to 1 part Valine and 1 part Isoleucine.

A 4:1:1 ratio with a higher level of Leucine increases anti-catabolic power and optimizes recovery and lean muscle development.

The plus of our BCAAs

STC Nutrition® BCAA powder, with natural lemon flavor, has been specially developed for optimal assimilation into the heart of the muscle.

The bioavailability of BCAAs allows their optimal assimilation into the heart of the muscle. The essential amino acids and vitamins contained in the product are directly used by the body to meet the needs of the muscles before, during or after physical exercise.

This product is 100% Vegan and contains Arginine, Citrulline and Vitamin B6, to support the muscular system.

Arginine

It plays a role in the healing process, elimination of ammonia and proper functioning of the immune system. It also participates in the dilation of blood vessels for proper muscle functioning.

Citrulline

It promotes increased blood flow to the muscles during exercise (supply of oxygen and nutrients) and to the purifying organs after exercise (elimination of lactic acid and other toxins).

Vitamin B6

It facilitates the assimilation of amino acids and helps reduce fatigue. B vitamins are also recommended for the treatment of cramps.

Fibregum®

This active ingredient with clinically demonstrated effects allows improved digestion and better assimilation of amino acids into the muscles. This acacia gum of plant origin also exerts a prebiotic activity favorable to intestinal well-being and the body's resistance.
