The effect of BCAA on the human body

What are BCAA amino acids?

Branched-Chain Amino Acids, or BCAA (Branched-Chain Amino Acids), are three key amino acids: L-Leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine. They are characterized by a unique side chain structure, thanks to which the body can use them in various ways. They contribute to building muscle mass and can also help maintain muscle tissue during reduction.

The role of BCAA in the body

Muscle protein synthesis - L-Leucine is considered one of the key factors triggering the protein synthesis process. Its sufficiently high supply can promote post-workout regeneration and muscle mass development.

Reducing catabolism - during intense exercise, the body eagerly reaches for branched-chain amino acids as an additional source of energy. This reduces the risk of breaking down your body proteins.

Endurance Support – L-Valine and L-Isoleucine contribute to the regulation of energy levels and carbohydrate metabolism, which has a positive effect on maintaining endurance and strength during exercise.

The Use of BCAA in Daily Supplementation

During Training

Regular supplementation with Iron Horse BCAA Plus can be crucial, especially during intense training sessions. Taking the preparation around exercise:

• Protects muscles against excessive catabolism - the body reaches for the supplied amino acids first, instead of breaking down its muscle proteins.
• Supports longer endurance - thanks to carnitine and beta-alanine, muscles can work at high speed for longer.

After exercise

Immediately after training, effective regeneration. BCAA amino acids supplemented with the "PLUS" complex contribute to faster recovery of damaged muscle fibers and restoration of metabolic balance. Thanks to this, the next workout can be performed in optimal form.

BCAA during the weight loss period

During reduction, when the main goal is to lose fat tissue while maintaining muscle mass, it is worth reaching for a product supporting fat metabolism (carnitine) and protecting muscle sleep (BCAA). Such a combination can be found in Iron Horse BCAA Plus, which can bring measurable benefits in body shaping.

Iron Horse BCAA Plus - composition of the dietary supplement

Leucine - affects skeletal muscle synthesis in several ways: increases the secretion of insulin, a powerful anabolic present in our body, affects the activity of protein kinase S6, accelerates the phosphorylation of the eIf4E binding protein and affects the degree of binding between (eIF)4E and eIF4G proteins. All this, despite its complicated sound and nomenclature, comes down to a basic statement - Leucine increases the degree and speed of protein utilization for muscle building.

Valine- its presence in this list is due not only to the previously mentioned need to administer all three BCAA amino acids together, but also to its effect on reducing fatigue of the central nervous system. What's more, as in the case of the other two amino acids, it is easily converted into energy used by working muscles and thus allows you to save glycogen stores stored in the liver.

Isoleucine -supplying large amounts of Leucine causes a decrease in the level of the other two amino acids: Isoleucine and Valine, which is why it is so important to use all three compounds together. In addition, Isoleucine is classified as a glucogenic amino acid, which means that the body can easily and quickly convert it into the energy it needs to function. This means that we will not only be able to train longer and more intensely, but also regenerate faster.

Beta Alanine - is essential for the production of carnosine and protein building blocks, which help prevent the body from aging. The compound supports proper muscle function and development. The amino acid is known to reduce muscle fatigue, which can help your muscles work better during training. This, in turn, promotes muscle growth. Beta-Alanine is particularly helpful in intense short-term training such as weightlifting. Some people taking beta-alanine may notice a slight tingling sensation, known as paresthesia.

L-tyrosine - is an endogenous amino acid that is a precursor of neurotransmitters - dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. These compounds are essential for the proper functioning of nerve conduction processes and intercellular communication. Adrenal hormones are produced in response to stress, and by preparing the body for intense physical effort, they increase the use of adipose tissue as the most efficient source of energy.

N-acetyl-L-carnitine - is an acetylated and metabolically active form of the amino acid L-carnitine - a vitamin-like substance. Its main properties include nootropic, neuroprotective, antioxidant and promoting fat metabolism in mitochondria. In addition, Acetyl carnitine has a positive effect on the condition of the circulatory system and the sensitivity of tissues to insulin; it also reduces the feeling of fatigue. The substance also takes part in the regulation of the hormonal balance - it mainly affects the level of testosterone and cortisol.

Magnesium - is one of the most important minerals in the body. It is essential as a cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic processes in cells. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, maintains a constant heart rhythm, supports the healthy functioning of the circulatory system, supports the immune system and keeps bones in good condition. Magnesium also helps maintain blood sugar levels and blood pressure, and is involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.

Thiamine - is a preparation aimed at the most demanding athletes who know what their body needs and are looking for specific vitamins to replenish their deficiencies. Vitamin B1 is very soluble in water, which directly impacts its absorption. It plays an important role in tissue respiration processes, including carbohydrate metabolism. It is one of the most essential vitamins, the deficiency of which can lead to weakness, fatigue, eye problems (nystagmus), circulatory failure, digestive system disorders, and even, in extreme cases, depression.
