Next to protein, amino acid supplements may be the most important supplement for all bodybuilders. And when it comes to the various aminos, few others can compare to the importance of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and BCAA 2000. In fact, for the bodybuilder, BCAA 2000 may very well be the most important amino acid product you ever buy. There’s nothing fancy or trendy about BCAA 2000. Over the years, the BCAAs found in BCAA 2000 have been studied extensively for their dual anabolic and anti-catabolic activities.

The branched-chain amino acids BCAA consist of the essential amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAA account for approximately 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle. BCAA are found in dietary protein, such as meat, dairy products, and legumes, and typically account for 15% to 25% of the total daily intake of protein.
In contrast to most essential amino acids that are metabolized in the liver, BCAA are unique because they are metabolized in skeletal muscle. Numerous studies have demonstrated the anti-catabolic effects of BCAA administration, i.e., a reduction in muscle protein breakdown during clinical conditions of wasting (e.g., starvation, post-surgery, burns, liver disease, etc).
BCAA have been theorized to act as a metabolic fuel during exercise, particularly during intense, prolonged activity. Speeds up muscle recovery, enhance your endurance, and stimulate anabolic hormone production. Don’t forget your BCAA’s, they are essential to your goals.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) Complex by Jarrow Formulas is a composite of free form amino acids with L-Glutamine and Vitamin B6 (as pyridoxine hydrochloride). Jarrow Formulas BCAA Complex contains the perfect 2:1:1 ratio of the free-form, crystalline branched chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine combined with the crucial amino acid L-Glutamine. The high amount of Leucine reflects its importance in muscle metabolism as the most efficient branch chain amino acid for stimulation of protein synthesis and it is more easily utilized for energy. BCAAs apply an anti-catabolic effect and reduce the breakdown of protein, thereby protecting muscle tissue. Glutamine is a ideal source of fuel for the intestinal cells and is demand by skeletal muscles after physical exertion. Vitamin B6 enhances amino acid metabolism.
