Amino acids for muscle structure

Blend of branched-chainAmino Acids (BCAA) and glutamine, ideal for long periods of intense physical exercise

Amino acids are natural compounds in the body that combine to form proteins. They are divided into three categories: essential amino acids, that is, not produced by the body; non-essential amino acids, produced by our body even if we do not get them from the food we eat; and conditional amino acids, which are non-essential except in cases of demand higher than normal, diseases and/or stress.

MARNYS® BCAA Complet and its ingredients offer the following properties:

• L-glutamine is a conditional amino acid and is highly concentrated in muscles and the nervous system (where it participates as a neurotransmitter). It is found in high levels in most meat and animal products, as well as in any dairy product or by-product like whey protein or casein.
• L-leucine is an essential amino acid highly concentrated in muscles and the adipose tissue where it participates in the energy-yielding and protein metabolism. It is mainly found in dairy products, meat, legumes, fish and eggs.
• L-valine is an essential amino acid and an integral part of the muscle tissue. It is used by muscles during sport to obtain energy, enables a positive nitrogen balance and is involved in muscle metabolism. Its sources are bananas, cottage cheese, red berries, chocolate, peach seeds and mild spices.
• L-isoleucine is an essential amino acid that takes part in the metabolic processes of proteins, glucose and fatty acids in the muscle and hepatic tissues.  The foods of animal origin containing L-isoleucine are eggs, soya proteins, turkey, chicken, lamb, cheese and fish, and those of vegetable origin are seaweed and amaranth.

The drinkable vial format of MARNYS® BCAA Complet facilitates its transport and handling.
