BCAA 2:1:1 1000 XTRACAPS is the basis of every supplementation. The combination of leucine, isoleucine and valine in a ratio of 2:1:1 is the key to effective post-workout regeneration, limiting catabolism during exercise and building pure muscle mass. BCAA 2:1:1 should be used both during the reduction and mass building periods. The 2:1:1 amino acid ratio is optimal for our body and guarantees the best possible use of both the anabolic and anti-catabolic potential of branched-chain amino acid supplementation.

Leucine – is considered one of the most important amino acids for the athlete’s body. It affects the secretion of anabolic hormones, such as insulin, and also affects specific kinases (mTOR), thus initiating the synthesis of muscle proteins and the pace of this process. Leucine also has a beneficial effect on the process of reducing body fat, contributing to the improvement of body composition. This amino acid has universal application in all sports disciplines, regardless of the level of advancement. Without the right amount of this amino acid, the process of muscle protein synthesis is much slower.

Valine – protects muscle cells from catabolism and then increases the pace of repair processes. Valine also affects the level and relationships of neurotransmitters, which is why it has a slightly stimulating effect (it postpones the occurrence of fatigue during exercise). Valine also has a hepatoprotective effect (it protects the liver).

Isoleucine – is involved in the process of protein synthesis, is responsible for inhibiting catabolic reactions and stimulates regenerative processes occurring in our body. Isoleucine can mediate the transformation of glucose into natural energy and regulate blood sugar levels. This amino acid supports the regeneration of tissues and muscle fibers.
