Kevin Levrone Gold BCAA - essential branched amino acids
Kevin Levrone Gold BCAA 375 g is an amino acid supplement providing a high dose of branched chain amino acids, which are additionally supplemented with citrulline, glutamine, vitamins and minerals. This is a much more functional form of BCAA that supports you even more during exercise. BCAA amino acids perfectly protect muscles against catabolism and intensify protein synthesis processes. The regeneration processes and the construction of new muscle proteins are much faster. BCAA is an igniter that makes your body more willing to build high-quality muscle mass.
Kevin Levrone Gold BCAA action:
- Protects against catabolism,
- Supports anabolism,
- Accelerates regeneration,
- Contains added electrolytes,
- Stimulates the mTOR pathway,
- Lowers cortisol,
- Stimulates testosterone,
- Maintains the activity of the nervous system.
Benefits of BCAA supplementation around training:
1. Supporting the synthesis of muscle proteins
Leucine, one of the BCAAs, is a strong activator of the mTOR pathway, which initiates muscle protein synthesis. Consuming BCAA before, during or after training may increase muscle anabolism, which promotes the building of muscle mass and regeneration after exercise.
2. Reduction of fatigue
During intense training, the level of BCAA in the bloodstream decreases, which may lead to an increase in tryptophan concentration and the production of serotonin in the brain, which is responsible for the feeling of fatigue. BCAA supplementation helps maintain their levels in the body, which may contribute to delaying fatigue and improving physical performance.
3. Muscle protection against catabolism
During intense physical exercise, the body may use amino acids as an energy source, which leads to muscle catabolism. BCAA consumption can counteract this process, protecting muscles from degradation and promoting muscle recovery.
4. Improved regeneration
After intense training, muscles require time and appropriate nutrients to fully regenerate. BCAAs can speed up this process, reducing muscle soreness (DOMS) and supporting a faster return to full fitness.
Kevin Levrone Gold BCAA 375g composition
1 serving, 12.5 grams:
BCAA 2:1:1 - 7500 mg including:
L-Leucine - 3500 mg - is the most potent anabolic amino acid. It stimulates the mTOR pathway of protein synthesis, which is directly linked to the ability to build new muscle proteins. Leucine also has a strong anti-catabolic effect. It inhibits the breakdown of muscle proteins, which allows you to maintain much greater muscle mass. Leucine also supports the absorption and utilisation of other amino acids, so its addition to e.g. a protein meal will increase the anabolic properties of the food.
L-Isoleucine - 1750 mg - is also an essential amino acid, and chemically it is an isomer of leucine. Isoleucine is glucogenic, so it can be an easy source of energy in the event of so-called energy crises. This action is of great importance for protecting muscles against catabolism. Isoleucine is also known for its properties accelerating regeneration, limiting the occurrence of soreness.
L-Valine - 1750 mg - belongs to the group of essential amino acids which have to be supplied to the body from the outside. Valine is important for energy, as it helps maintain the activity of the nervous system. The liver converts it into glucose, among other things. Valine has an effect preventing the so called nervous system fatigue.
L-Glutamine - 2500 mg - is one of the most important amino acids for our muscles. It builds up 60% of muscle tissue and maintains cell activity. Glutamine is severely depleted during strength training, so it's worth taking supplements containing glutamine around the clock to protect muscle mass from catabolism.
Citrulline - 1000 mg - belongs to substances with a pumping effect. As a no-booster, citrulline helps increase arginine levels in the body, which in turn increases nitric oxide levels. Its action will effectively support vasodilation and thus translate into better transport of amino acids around the body.
Potassium - 300 mg - belongs to the group of electrolytes, takes care of the appropriate level of cell hydration, improves muscle and heart function. Potassium deficiencies in the diet affect urinary function, kidney filtration, and excretory functions such as ammonia, which is important for the regeneration of the body. Potassium is lost with sweat during exercise, so it is important to supply it around the workout.
Magnesium - 60 mg - Magnesium plays a very important role in our body, which consists in regulating the flow of nerve impulses and maintaining the excitability of the nervous system. Half of the magnesium we store in our bodies is found in muscle tissue. It is essential for proper muscle contraction, which is responsible for their quality of work.
Sodium - 50 mg - belongs to the group of electrolytes that maintain the electrical potential of cell membranes. Sodium is responsible for the amount of water in cells, so it is a very important part of the diet to maintain optimal water levels in the body. It is a key mineral that is responsible for regulating blood pressure.
Vitamin C - 80 mg - has a strong antioxidant and protective effect, but also intensifies the synthesis of collagen. Vitamin C takes care to reduce the activity of free radicals in our body. It also protects the body against infections, which is important for people with weakened immunity.
Vitamin B6 - 2 mg - supports activity of the nervous system, among other things, it prevents the feeling of weariness and fatigue. It also plays an important role in the work of the entire metabolism. Vitamin B6 determines the assimilability of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is therefore essential for many energy processes.
Vitamin B12 - 2 mcg - has a protective effect on the nervous system. It has a significant impact on the metabolism, determines energy metabolism, which allows for better distribution of energy in cells.
Recommended Dosage:
1 serving, 12.5 grams before workout.
