During physical exercise, the body loses its main energy source – glycogen fuel. Before it is ready to burn fats, it uses amino acids from muscles as fuel. Depending on the intensity and type of physical activity, the reserve of amino acids in muscle tissues, particularly BCAA amino acids, is depleted. This process is called muscle catabolism.
Glico Power Production EX Hypotonic Drink Citric Acid & BCAA powder is designed to maintain endurance during increased physical activity. It combines BCAA and citric acid, providing quick hydration and supporting energy levels for long workouts, as well as improving metabolism:
Citric acid participates in the Krebs cycle, helping to generate energy and prevent the buildup of lactic acid, which keeps muscles toned and reduces fatigue.
BCAA amino acids are essential amino acids, which are branched-chain amino acids. They are the main building blocks for muscles. Since leucine, isoleucine, and valine make up one-third of all proteins in muscles, these amino acids are very important for active muscle mass and muscle protection. For athletes, it is very important that BCAA amino acids serve as fuel for both women and men. They directly participate in building muscle mass and are useful for body recovery after intense and strenuous workouts.
The proportion of amino acids in one stick is: valine: leucine: isoleucine = 1: 2: 1.
