Why Supplement with BCAA's?

BCAAs have also been shown to have a positive effect on mood and mental function in endurance athletes. Although limited, research supports the idea that the BCAAs can decrease serotonin in the brain (serotonin can cause a sense of tiredness), thereby lowering mental fatigue and maintaining mental acuteness during prolonged endurance exercise.15,16 Low levels of the BCAAs also contribute to fatigue and should be replaced following exercise or participation in a competitive event. Research has revealed that the BCAAs help to prevent fatigue and maintain muscle mass and strength during times of physical stress such as intense workouts.1

Bodybuilders, athletes, weekend warriors who weight train regularly, and endurance athletes who regularly compete in aerobic events such as running, cycling, or swimming will benefit from BCAA supplementation. Supplementation of BCAAs will help meet the increased demand the body requires under times of stress. Numerous studies have shown that BCAAs can enhance energy levels, build muscle, and speed recovery under a variety of metabolic conditions. Aside from playing an important role in protein synthesis, the BCAAs provide extra energy during heavy lifting, help spare muscle tissue, and fight mental brain drain as you battle through a workout. BCAAs can be taken at anytime during the day, preferably on an empty stomach to avoid competition for absorption with other amino acids; however, the most beneficial times to take the BCAAs are directly before or just after training. Currently, it is difficult to provide an exact dose of BCAAs per kg body weight that influences muscle growth and prevents breakdown.

To obtain the greatest benefit from BCAA supplements, you must ensure that you get enough protein from your diet to support an increased ability to grow.

BCAAs act as a fuel source for the muscle because they are the only amino acids that are broken down directly in muscle tissue. They prevent the muscle breakdown that normally occurs during strenuous exercise, resulting in increased endurance and muscle strength. Other tissues that the BCAAs help to repair are the bones and skin. BCAAs regulate blood sugar by producing glycogen, the storage form of sugar in muscle tissue. Leucine increases the production of growth hormone. Growth hormone is sometimes referred to as the fountain of youth because it keeps the body "young" by repairing and building tissue. Levels of growth hormone naturally decline as we age and increasing growth hormone levels protect against the development of age related conditions. Leucine, and the other BCAAs, can be supplemented for the following conditions: muscle wasting, recovery from surgery, broken bones, skin diseases and can be used to improve muscle growth during exercise.

What are Amino Acids?

As the building blocks of protein, amino acids are vital to health. Next to water, amino acids in the form of proteins make up the greatest portion of our body weight. They comprise tendons, muscles and ligaments; organs and glands; hair and nails; important bodily fluids, and are a necessary part of every cell in the body.

Proteins are composed of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds. When we eat protein the body must break these bonds in the digestive tract. Then single amino acids, or amino acids in short chains, are absorbed into the body, where they are reassembled into whatever substance the body needs. There are over 20 amino acids, separated into two categories essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those that cannot be manufactured by your body, hence, it is essential that you obtain them from your diet. Non-essential amino acids can be manufactured by your body, however, your body must have the right combination of essential amino acids and supporting nutrients to optimize healthy protein maintenance, so supplementation may be desirable.

ABOUT ULTIMATE NUTRITION

Ultimate Nutrition was founded in 1979 by Victor H. Rubino. At the time Victor was one of the top amateur power lifters in the United States. Driven by a goal to become the best, Victor knew that supplements were the key to improving his performance through increased strength and faster recovery. Not satisfied with the current supplements that were available to him the 1970's and being a biochemist himself, Victor decided to launch his own company Ultimate Nutrition. Victor's goal was to create high quality, thoroughly researched products at an affordable price for everyone.

In the late 1970's and early 1980's Ultimate Nutrition was among the first companies to have Amino Acid tablets, protein powders, carbohydrate powders, and various types of Fat Burners. By the late 1980's and early 1990's Ultimate Nutrition launched several legendary products such as Sports Energizer, an electrolyte fueled ready to drink beverage that came in 10 flavors and in a glass bottle.

By the mid 1990's Ultimate Nutrition again was on the cutting edge as we were one of the first companies to come out with Whey Protein powder in a bottle. Today, Ultimate Nutrition continues to excel with a wide range of products.
