BCAA+ 2:1:1
The amino acids are important organic molecules allowing a proper use of vitamins and minerals by the body. But they are also fundamental units constituting the proteins . The variety of existing proteins depends on the kind and of the sequence of amino acids that compose them.
Twenty amino acids are used by the body to carry out its functions and, among them, eight are said to be essentials because our body cannot synthesize them autonomously and we must acquire them through food .
Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine are essential amino acids branched chain , also known as BCAA (from the English branched-chain amino acids ). BCAAs are stored in the tissue muscular , which can use them to develop the mass muscular, to increase the strength , or to quickly obtain energy :
- Leucine is directly involved in muscle protein synthesis
- Valine is an amino acid with an energy function and limiting muscle dislocation
- Isoleucine has an energy and muscle-building function
Why choose BCAA+?
BCAAs make up the largest proportion of amino acids in muscle protein (over 25%). They are the first amino acids to be catabolized during physical exercise. intense and they participate in the synthesis of other amino acids in the muscle, helping to define the structure of the fibers muscle. Branched-chain amino acids also support resistance and fight against exhaustion .
For these reasons, BCAA-based food supplements such as BCAA+ can be taken by anyone who engages in intense and/or prolonged physical activity. pre- Or post-workout , at the gym or in other sports, to quickly increase levels energy , fight against the muscle catabolism and exhaustion , and to improve the recovery .

The 2:1:1 ratio
The 2:1:1 ratio for BCAAs refers to the proportion of the three amino acids (Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine). In this ratio, the amount of Leucine is twice that of Isoleucine and Valine , hence the 2:1:1.
Leucine is considered the most crucial of the three amino acids for muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth. It directly activates a cell signalling pathway called mTOR, which regulates muscle protein synthesis. Isoleucine and valine also play important roles in protein metabolism and are often metabolized during exercise to provide energy to muscles.
The 2:1:1 ratio is often considered optimal because it emphasizes a higher proportion of leucine, the primary stimulator of muscle protein synthesis. Working together, leucine, isoleucine, and valine promote muscle growth, improve recovery, and support physical performance. This specific ratio aims to maximize the synergistic effects of these amino acids, providing optimal benefits for athletes and active individuals.
