BCAA stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids and comprises essential amino acids. These amino acids are leucine, isoleucine and valine, and are called essential amino acids because the body cannot produce them itself. However, as they are vital for supporting your sporting and active lifestyle, it is advisable to obtain them through supplements. BCAA 4:1:1 Powder from XXL Nutrition is the perfect way to do this. This supplement contains a ratio of 4 (Leucine): 1 (Isoleucine): 1 (Valine) and is available in three deliciously refreshing flavours: Raspberry, Fruit Punch and Watermelon.

The benefits of BCAA 4:1:1 Powder

BCAA supplements are mainly available on the market in two different ratios: 2:1:1 and 4:1:1. The difference here lies in the amount of leucine relative to the other two amino acids, isoleucine and valine. By consuming a higher amount of leucine, you optimise protein synthesis (the conversion of protein into muscle), with isoleucine and valine playing an important supporting role. BCAA 4:1:1 Powder dissolves quickly and thoroughly, making it easy to drink around your workout.
