Amino
Acids
Amino acids
are often referred
to as the building blocks of
proteins, and the proteins and
enzymes that are comprised of
these amino acids make up
muscle, hormones,
neurotransmitters, and much
else that makes the body run
smoothly.
A healthy
body requires twenty different
amino acids, several of which
are produced by the body
itself. However, eight of
these can only be gotten
through diet or supplement,
and many of the others often
need a boost due to a variety
of factors, including diet,
age, exercise, infection, and
stress levels. Amino acid
supplements can aid in making
a body healthy, and fighting
conditions such as fatigue.
They are particularly useful
for body builders and weight
trainers, as amino acids are
essential for muscle building,
maintenance and
repair.
For those
taking supplements
to aid in strength training,
BCAA supplements are a good
option. BCAA refers to the
branched chain amino acids,
which include leucine,
isoleucine and valine - three
of the amino acids your body
cannot produce on its own.
Leucine, isoleucine, and
valine make up around 33% of
the skeletal muscle in the
body and are necessary for
muscle formation, as well as
being useful in slowing muscle
degradation. |
