NOW Foods Branched Chain Amino Acids 120 Veg Capsules

NOW® Branched Chain Amino Acids supply the three essential BCAAs — L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine — in pure, free-form. Unlike most amino acids, BCAAs are metabolized directly within the muscle rather than the liver, which is why they're so closely associated with exercise. Leucine in particular acts as a key trigger for muscle protein synthesis, the process by which the body builds and repairs muscle tissue, while all three help support endurance and recovery from training. This makes BCAAs a foundational supplement for anyone focused on maintaining or building lean muscle.*

About the key ingredients

• L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine & L-Valine: The three essential branched-chain amino acids, metabolized directly in muscle, that support muscle protein synthesis and recovery from exercise.*
• Other ingredients: Cellulose in a plant-based hypromellose (vegetarian) capsule, with no artificial fillers.

Who it's for

NOW® BCAAs are a great fit for athletes, strength trainers, endurance athletes and active adults who want to support muscle recovery, endurance and lean-muscle maintenance around their workouts. They appeal especially to those training in a fasted state or cutting calories, when preserving muscle matters most, as well as anyone looking to reduce workout fatigue and bounce back faster between sessions. BCAAs are commonly taken before, during or after exercise, and the flavored powder makes an easy intra-workout drink.*
