/// ACTIVE INGREDIENTS PER SERVING (10g)

BCAAs in 8:1:1 proportion

The BCAAs belong to the group of essential amino acids, because they cannot be synthesized by the human body. The 3 essential amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine play a key role in muscle growth and recovery after the workout, because they activate protein synthesis. BCAAs play an important role in maintaining muscle mass and in optimizing the glycogen stores in the muscles. A strategic BCAA intake helps you accelerate your recovery after power and endurance training and to have less muscle stiffness.⁽¹⁾ Each serving contains 6.5g BCAAs.

L-Glutamine

L-glutamine is considered a semi-essential amino acid because in certain circumstances the human body cannot produce enough of it to meet the needs of sportsmen and women. L-glutamine is the most common amino acid in the blood and muscular tissue and it contributes to numerous physiological processes in the human body.⁽²⁾⁽³⁾⁽⁴⁾ L-glutamine has an anti-catabolic effect and stimulates accelerated muscle recovery after the training.⁽⁵⁾ In addition, glutamine is a powerful anti-oxidant: people who use it also have a better resistance to colds.⁽⁶⁾⁽⁷⁾ Each serving contains 2g l-glutamine.
