Muscle growth and muscle recovery

BCAA´s Ultra Pure safely contributes to:

• an increase in muscle mass
• the inhibition of muscle breakdown
• a faster muscle recovery after exercise
• the promotion of fat breakdown
• an increased alertness while training

Why BCAAs?!

1) When you lift weights or perform other exercises the body uses branched chain amino acids (BCAA´s) at the expense of the muscle tissue. BCAA´s Ultra Pure ensures a rapid replenishment of these three valuable amino acids, so the muscle recovery is quickly being activated.

2) Of the three BCAA´s, the amino acid L-leucine is the most interesting. L-leucine can stimulate various muscle-building processes in the body. By taking 5 BCAA capsules after a high protein meal (50% L-leucine), the muscle building effect of the meal is enhanced. Also separate L-leucine powder, available from Power Supplements, can be used for this purpose. This is more cost effective.

3) Many athletes experience an accelerated reduction of fat reserves when they perform cardio exercises on an empty stomach in the morning. However, the danger of a cardio workout on an empty stomach is muscle loss. BCAA´s can slow this muscle loss process because the amino acids produce a so-called anti-catabolic effect. Taking only L-leucine when no proteins have been eaten for a long period of time (longer than 4 to 8 hours) is not recommended because then the levels of the other two BCAA´s are lowered too much. To achieve a maximum effect of fat reduction the BCAA-combination seems to be superior to separate L-leucine. See the following below:

4) Also athletes who don´t do any cardio training notice that they lose body fat when they take large quantities of BCAA´s as a supplement. The loss of fat is most noticeable in the abdomen. Epidemiological research supports this fact, it shows that people with a high dietary intake of BCAA´s are slimmer than those with a reduced BCAA intake. Both L-leucine and L-isoleucine can play an important role in this. Intervention studies in animals also show that BCAA´s have a slimming effect. Several times it was determined that the amimo acid L-isoleucine has a slimming effect. L-isoleucine has a positive effect on the carbohydrate absorption in the muscle tissue. Carbohydrates which are absorbed by the muscle tissue will no longer be stored as fat below the skin. In addition, L-isoleucine engages fat burning by stimulating the fat sensor PPAR-alpha in muscle cells and inhibiting it in fat cells.

5) Another interesting effect of the amino acid L-leucine is the collagen build up stimulation. Tendons and connective tissue become stronger as a result.

6) Lastly, BCAA´s may decrease mental fatigue when you work out. A shortage of BCAA´s in your body could result in additional production of serotonin. This will make you slightly drowsy and will reduce the effectiveness of your workout. Taking extra BCAA´s during your workout can help you maintain a high energy workout.
BCAA´s Ultra Pure contains the most used and best researched ratio of BCAA´s, which is L-Leucine : L-Isoleucine : L-Valine = 2 : 1 : 1

Despite of the high quality still a low price

Power Supplements offers this expensive Japanese quality of BCAA´s at an very low price. The price is comparable to much cheaper BCAA-supplements on the internet. But with Power Supplements you can be sure that the price isn´t low because of cheap ingredients produced under poorly inspected conditions.

Contraindications
