Multi-Food BCAA  Powder consists of BCAAs (branched chain amino acids), the branched-chain amino acids L-leucine, L-valine and L-isoleucine. It is composed in the optimal ratio of 3:1:1 = L-leucine, L-valine and L-isoleucine. Intense exercise in particular can lead to a lack of energy. BCAA is involved in replenishing glycogen stores in muscles. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep away from children!

BCAA - the amino acids with the branched side chain

A total of eight - including histidine there are nine - protein-forming amino acids are called essential. They must therefore be ingested through food. In the organism, five or six of these are fed into the metabolism via the liver. This is different with L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. They stand out due to their special structure with a branched side chain. That's why they're called branched-chain amino acids (BCAA). They find their way directly into the muscle tissue via the bloodstream. This is very handy because the sarcomeres of muscle fibrils, which shorten when they contract and lengthen when they stretch, are made up of around 30 percent BCAAs. BCAAs are also involved in replenishing the glycogen depots in the muscles.

Sushi fans with a good supply of BCAAs

BCAA's are found in all protein foods. They are found in fairly high concentrations in chicken, turkey and beef. Friends of the sushi kitchen can often look forward to a particularly good supply of branched-chain amino acids. With a content of around 3.5 percent, raw salmon and tuna are rich in L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine in a ratio of around 2:1:1. Rice and the nori sheet also contribute BCAA.

BCAA powder in the golden ratio of 3:1:1

The amino acids in Multi-Food's BCAA powder are 100% pure. Care was also taken to ensure an ideal ratio of 3:1:1. The high-quality BCAA powder also contains neither lactose nor gluten. With a neutral taste, five grams are stirred into 300 milliliters of water. In addition, the BCAA powder is also available with a delicious cherry flavor. In order to achieve the same supply of BCAA, two more grams are used here per serving. A total of five grams of BCAA are taken in both cases before or after training.
