BCAA-X5 is 100% fermented Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. BCAAs may prevent muscle protein breakdown and reduce markers of exercise induced muscle damage. BCCA’s have the potential to act as a fuel source for muscles during exercise, although the research surrounding this is inconclusive. Lastly, BCAA’s may interfere with the transport of tryptophan into the brain, reducing the synthesis of serotonin thereby reducing feelings of fatigue.

BCAA-X5  - Spare glycogen during exercise
It has long been recognised that muscle glycogen levels are critical for athletic performance, particularly in moderate- to high-intensity events. Glycogen is the main source of fuel for the muscles during exercise and low levels contribute to fatigue. Therefore if BCAAs can be used in preference to glycogen at early stages of exercise, glycogen can be spared and used later. 

BCAA-X5 - May support weight loss
If dieting is used to lose fat, both fat and muscle will be lost. For many athletes, loss of muscle is undesirable. So, if energy intake can be reduced, but muscle mass maintained, then a more desirable body composition may be attained.
