Increase muscle growth Decrease muscle soreness Reduce exercise fatigue Prevent muscle wasting Benefit people with liver disease The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are essential, meaning they can’t be produced by your body and must be obtained from food. Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid. Your body uses it to produce carnosine, which helps improve exercise performance. L-Glutamine is an important amino acid with many functions in the body. It is a building block of protein and critical part of the immune system and has a special role in intestinal health. Taurine has important functions in the heart, brain and immune system. It helps support nerve growth, helps us maintain proper hydration and produces bile salts, which help in digestion. It also regulates minerals and supports the general function of your nervous system, vision and eyes. BCAA supplements have been shown to build muscle, decrease muscle fatigue, and alleviate muscle soreness. They have also successfully been used in a hospital setting to prevent or slow muscle loss and to improve symptoms of liver disease.
