What Amino Acids Are Included In The XTEND Formula?
L-Leucine: An amino acid that is not produced by your body so you will need to obtain through your diet. L-Leucine is beneficial for weight loss, creating lean muscle mass and cholesterol levels.
L-Glutamine: Promotes digestive health, enhances brain health, boosts athletic performance and is generally a good amino acid for improving your overall health.
L-Isoleucine: boosts energy levels and stamina.
L-Valine: plays an important role in: managing stress, supporting the immune system, supporting your muscles and overall health.
Citrulline Malate: has proven to be helpful for muscle recovery and endurance.
WHAT ARE BCAA'S?
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. BCAA supplements have been shown to build muscle, decrease muscle fatigue and alleviate muscle soreness.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BCAA'S
1. BCAA's enhance muscle protein synthesis. Because BCAA's are readily available for metabolism, they are easily formed into muscle mass when combined with resistance training. BCAAs also tend to build lean muscle even when you are inactive. They can work with your metabolism not only for muscle metabolism but also for reducing prevent fat.
2. BCAAs prolong muscle synthesis as we age. BCAAs that are enriched leucine are especially good for equalizing protein synthesis and building muscle between young and old. Research has shown that leucine enriched BCAAs are especially powerful for older people as muscle synthesis tends to diminish over the age of 35.
3. BCAAs burn fat. In addition to the muscle-building benefits of BCAAs, they also burn fat and prevent fat from accumulating. We gain muscle and lose weight by properly taking BCAA supplements in conjunction with exercise.
4. BCAAs help build strength. All that muscle we get form BCAA supplements is not just for show. These supplements, when combined with proper training, build real measurable strength in test subjects.
5. BCAAs enhance endurance and reduce fatigue. BCAAs have been clinically proven to boost energy production in the body. What is more, BCAAs also facilitates the metabolism of fats which provide further fuel for increased energy. All of this results in more endurance and less propensity for growing tired during intense training and competition.
6. Decrease muscle soreness. Studies have shown that BCAA supplements reduce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) in both trained and untrained athletes. This makes it possible to return to workouts faster and with less pain and discomfort. The chemical nature of BCAAs boosts metabolism. This results in an increase in muscle and a decrease in fat. That BCAAs perform both functions tend to create correlative benefits such as lowering cholesterol and sugar levels. Consuming BCAAs through a healthy diet is simply good for our health. When we combine BCAA supplements with resistance training, we get demonstrable results in muscle growth, weight loss, stamina, and strength.
