Intense training in the gym requires just as intense focus on your metabolism and recovery. Training to build muscle and strength results in initial muscle breakdown and glycogen depletion. However, increasing muscle mass requires you spare your muscle and restore glycogen for optimal results. Beyond Raw® Labs understands these demanding needs, necessitating the creation of the multifunctional Precision BCAA formula.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are essential amino acids key to cultivating results. BCAAs include leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are found in significant quantities in your muscle. They play a structural role as well as a functional role. BCAAs can be incorporated into muscle proteins that make up the contractile elements of muscle. Furthermore, BCAAs, especially leucine, can act as a signal to turn on muscle building machinery in the muscle cell and boost insulin release. With leucine’s strong signaling function, it is the most abundant BCAA in the Precision BCAA formula.
BCAAs taken during training supply your muscles with signals and building blocks to prevent breakdown. When the signal to grow is there, it limits the signal to breakdown thus sparing muscle loss during intense training. Taken with carbohydrate, the BCAAs improve glycogen re-synthesis and spare its breakdown through an insulin response. Insulin is further modulated by InsuSpike™ (Opuntia ficus indica) in the Precision BCAA formula.
Training performance also requires restoration of electrolytes lost from your blood, sweat and tears. An electrolyte blend of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium contributes to maintenance of normal muscle, heart and lung function. There’s nothing worse than having to cut your training short for cramping. Additionally, citrus fruit extract containing the polyphenol rutinoside (PeakForce™ WATTS’ UP®) enhances work efficiency.
Finally, it is important to note that intense training with its muscle catabolism and fuel burning can result in the production of damaging free radicals. These free radicals and activity-induced inflammation can make it more difficult to recover from your training. Univestin®, a proprietary blend of flavonoids from Acacia Catechu wood and bark extract and Chinese Skullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis) extracts has been shown to act upon metabolic processes in the body related to supporting a healthy inflammatory response.
As you can see, the Beyond Raw® Precision BCAA formula, like the name says, provides the precise ingredients you need to succeed in the gym.
