BCAA 3D

• Branched chain amino acids
• 900mg of L-leucine per serving
• 450mg of L-isoleucine and 450mg of L-valine per daily dose

What is BCAA 3D?

BCAA 3D by BiotechUSA is a food supplement in capsules made from branched chain amino acids.

The recommended daily dose is 3 capsules before training; take them between the meals on the days of rest.

The scientific community explains the effect of BCAA 3D

Branched chain amino acids, the main ingredient from BCAA 3D, are the protagonists of some of the most successful fitness supplements. This is due to a series of reasons that have been proven in several studies. For instance:

• Taking BCAA's can relieve the muscle pain.^[1]
• They can increase the protein synthesis while reducing the muscle protein breakdown. Moreover, taking BCAA's before and after endurance training could even buffer the muscle damage and shorten the recovery in trained men.^[2]
• Taking BCAA's before the workout has a positive effect and relieves the muscle pain caused by eccentric exercise.^[3]
• Leucine, isoleucine and valine make up a third of the muscle protein. Leucine stimulates the protein synthesis in the muscle and it is closely connected to the release of glycogen precursors. Taking BCAA's before or after physical exercise can prevent or reduce the protein breakdown net rate, improve the mental and physical performance as well as stimulating the use of glycogen and muscle glycogen according to some studies.^[4]

How can we combine BCAA 3D?

You can combine BCAA 3D with protein.

Who can benefit from BCAA 3D?

• Athletes who want to take advantage of some of the factors that we previously mentioned.
• Active people who need an extra support for their routine
