A well-established supplement for those with an appetite for high-intensity workouts and strength training, BCAA 2:1:1 by Prozis is here to back you up while you strive to realize your fitness and training goals. Why? As BCAAs are not produced by the body, they must be obtained through food or supplements. In fact, BCAA supplementation is widely popular among athletes and sports enthusiasts looking to upgrade their workouts.
AMINO ACID
The acronym BCAAs stands for branched-chain amino acids, which is an amino acid VIP club made up of three members: Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. Now, why are they so relevant? The importance of BCAAs lies in the way the body metabolizes them and the biological processes they trigger. This supplement will get you Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine in a 2:1:1 ratio, respectively. Over the last decades, many studies had suggested that leucine appears to play the most significant role in stimulating protein synthesis.
