BCAA’s - Branched Chain Amino Acids - are the 3 unique and essential amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. These are naturally occurring molecules that your body uses to build muscle proteins. BCAA’s are metabolized directly in muscle tissue and help to prevent muscle breakdown, promote muscle protein synthesis, provide fuel for muscular energy, speed muscle recovery, enhance endurance and promote anabolic hormone production.

Axis Labs BCAA Ethyl Ester - 180 capsules

Ref: AX06

BCAA Ethyl Ester (BCAAE2) is an anti-catabolic powerhouse - a high potency formula containing the essential amino acids L-Leucine, L-Valine and L-Isoleucine in a revolutionary ethyl ester form and in a specific ratio to maximize their effectiveness. These three protein sparing amino acids are known as branched chain amino acids, and play important roles in protein synthesis and energy metabolism. Your body can not manufacture its own branch chain amino acids, so they must be supplied through your diet. Studies have shown that they are important for a variety of reasons including muscle growth and recuperation. BCAAE2 is truly at the forefront of biochemically engineered supplements.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) function by increasing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. Athletes and bodybuilders recognize that protein synthesis and nitrogen retention are important anabolic functions required for muscle growth. Axis Labs BCAAE2 may help fuel muscle growth and are dramatically more potent than regular Branch Chain Amino Acids. But the important benefits of BCAAE2 aren’t limited to muscle growth. They can also aid in recuperation by decreasing lactic acid levels in muscle cells. Branch Chain Amino Acids can also aide in recuperation by increasing muscle glycogen concentration to a greater degree than carbohydrates alone. Additionally, BCAAs have a glycogen sparing effect during exercise. This is a great benefit, and can an athlete reach new levels of intensity. Because of their anticatabolic effect BCAAs may also help during extreme dieting by preventing muscle tissue breakdown.

Specific 2:1:1 BCAA Ratio To Significantly Improve Effects

Up To 90 Servings Per 180 Capsule Container

DIRECTIONS: As a dietary supplement, take 2 to 4 capsules 1 to 3 times daily, preferably prior to and after exercise and / or with meals.

Beverly International Muscularity 180 capsules

Increase Fat Burning And Spare Lean Muscle Mass While Dieting!

Muscularity - By far the most advanced branch chain amino product on the market. Beverly International was the first again in combining several products together into one ultimate product combining branch chain aminos, chromium in the form of picolinate, zinc with the corresponding vitamins B-6 and B-12. The branch chains stimulate production of insulin which promotes amino acid intake by the muscles through promoting protein synthesis within muscle tissue.

The chromium makes insulin much more effective in its job of ferrying glucose across cellular membranes. The zinc is important in the pancreas production of insulin. The B vitamins 6 and 12 must be present for the system to effectively utilize the branch chains. Truly a product for all serious body builders.

Biotest BCAA - 250 tablets

Ref: BT19

It's odd that we just don't talk about Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) much, especially when you consider that almost all of us who write for Testosterone Nation use them.

They're probably the one thing that's remained a constant in the lives of our coaches, from Charles Poliquin to Chad Waterbury to Christian Thibaudeau to John Berardi. Each of them — along with their clients — take large amounts of BCAA's every day. Next to protein powder, it's their primary supplement.

Of course, I suppose it would be like a bunch of doctors discussing their stethoscopes. If something is a mainstay of your profession, it often gets taken for granted.

That's too bad, because BCAA's are something that every lifter should be taking, if not daily, then at least during very specific training cycles.

For those of you who have forgotten, the branched chain amino acids are named leucine, isoleucine, and valine. What sets them apart from other amino acids is that they have some very specific, very special properties.

Obviously, we should all be using BCAAs!

The only reasons why you might not have wanted to take them, prior to now, is the prohibitively high cost.

Well, scratch that reason off your list, because we're puff-our-chest-out proud to introduce Biotest Branched-Chain Amino Acid Tablets!

These BCAA are pure and they're high-quality, but I don't think you'd expect anything less from Biotest. There are 250 tablets in a bottle, which makes for a pretty hefty load; don't store this bottle on a wobbly shelf because it'll put a dent in your skull when it collapses. You just won't find quality BCAA like this anywhere, and you definitely couldn't find them at this great price.

After looking at this area of science for a long time, we've come up with a recommended dosage, which, on non-training days, is 4-6 tablets taken three times per day, between meals. On training days, we recommend a total of 12-18 tablets taken before, during, and immediately after your workout.

In other words, during a training session, you might take 6 before your workout; 6 during your workout when you visit the drinking fountain; and 6 right after your workout.

However, to be frank, no one knows for sure exactly how much BCAA to use. The recommendations in the literature and among our coaches vary.

The bench press/squat study I cited above used 18 grams of BCAA immediately before training and another 18 grams of BCAA immediately after training (based on a 200-pound athlete). That's quite a large amount, but most of our coaches have had phenomenal success using slightly smaller or even significantly smaller dosages.

I asked a few of them how they use BCAA.

Christian Thibaudeau's BCAA Protocols

Christian Thibaudeau is on the high end of the scale, but the results speak for themselves:

Over the past year, I've had several clients gain up to 8 pounds of lean mass in 2 weeks using my protocol. While most of my clients don't gain 8 pounds in two weeks, most will gain an average of 1-2 pounds per week over the first 8 weeks of use.

Here's what Christian recommends:

5 servings of 5-10 grams per day (i.e. about 4 to 8 Biotest BCAA tablets):

1. Upon waking up (especially if you engage in pre-breakfast cardio).

2. Between breakfast and lunch.

3. Between lunch and supper.

4. Mid-evening.

5. Before going to bed.

Each serving would ideally be 10 grams; that will give you the best gains by far. The results are very close to being drug-like, and I'm not one to say this lightly. I put my reputation on the line.

Chad Waterbury's BCAA Protocols

Chad Waterbury has devised several BCAA protocols for his clients, some as high as 20 grams per serving and some as low as 3 grams per serving.

One of his favorites, though, is his Mid-Sleep BCAA Protocol for Cutting or Bulking.

I've long stressed the importance of night-time feedings for growth and recovery. Problem is, most people don't want to get up in the middle of the night and have a protein shake. But with a good BCAA supplement, all they need to do is have the pills sitting next to their alarm clock with a glass of water. They wake up briefly, take the pills, and they're back asleep.

Chad's nighttime protocol calls for 1.5 grams of BCAA per 25 pounds of lean body mass. In other words, a 200-pound man would take roughly 8 Biotest BCAA tablets upon awakening.

Chad is also big on using BCAA for cutting, for which he prescribes 0.75 grams of BCAA per 25 pounds of LBM four times a day, between meals. (That equals about 4 Biotest BCAA tablets 4 times a day, for the prototypical 200-pound man.)

John Berardi's BCAA Protocols

While Christian and Chad probably represent two ends of the BCAA dose spectrum, nutritionist John Berardi's preferences lie somewhere in the middle.

However, John also has a pretty interesting protocol that he uses on himself every couple of years to get super ripped. Get this, John Berardi, Mr. Massive Eating himself, will occasionally go on a stint where he eats 3 meals a day, totaling about 2,000 calories, interspersed with three 10-gram feedings of BCAA.

The large amounts of BCAA offset any potential muscle loss from the fairly severe bout of calorie restriction.

As you can see, the recommended dosages vary. However, I think it's absolutely clear that BCAA are a valuable and indispensable tool.

Amount Per Servings:
L-isoleucine: 900mg
L-leucine: 1620mg
L-valine: 1080mg

Other Ingredients:
Microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmelose, clacium carbonate, sorbitol, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, sodium carboxy-methylcellulose, maltodextrin, dextrose monohydrate, titanium dioxide, lecithin.

Boditronics Bodipure Glutamine - 500g

Ref: BD19

As the most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue, glutamine is essential for muscle growth. Your body can produce glutamine, but any intense physical exercise or any form of prolonged stress can deplete the levels. This is why most informed nutrition experts now recommend using glutamine supplements.
When glutamine levels fall, a catabolic state exists, and the body responds by robbing glutamine from other muscle groups. This is not ideal for maintaining balance and growth.
To avoid this deficiency, regular daily supplementation of glutamine will help combat the catabolic effects that result from hard training. Bodipure L-Glutamine is micronised for rapid absorption to increase blood levels within 30 minutes.

Chemical Nutrition Glutamine 500g

Ref: CN-G500

Glutamine has fast become a product with a stand-alone reputation, and with very good reason. This is a reputation built on results and backed up by much medical research, something that can be claimed about few supplements.

The most abundant amino acid in human muscle tissue, glutamine use is strongly indicated in periods of trauma and stress. Post-surgical conditions, wasting diseases such as cancer and trials involving stress responses to exercise, have all come up with the same results - massive depletion of glutamine. We also know that low carbohydrate diets can have a disastrous effect on glutamine reserves, a point that deserves more than a little consideration by any athlete who has to restrict carbs or make weight. Its depletion due to gluconeogenesis during prolonged exercise is also well documented, as are the subsequent indications for use by endurance athletes. Likewise, power athletes have also been shown to suffer from low glutamine levels, demonstrating that glutamine depletion is not solely carbohydrate dependant. Uptake of glutamine by the gut, liver and kidneys as an energy substrate is the most likely culprit in these circumstances. Although glutamine has been demonstrated to elevate growth hormone, we know that its ability to attenuate the catabolic actions of cortisol is independant of this activity. Improved immune function is also another direct result of glutamine influence on cortisol and circulating leukocytes.

Pro-Glutamine is made from only the purest glutamine available and is not to be confused with inferior glutamine products. A daily dose of around 5 to 20 grams is best divided and taken in a glass of cold water and preferably on an empty stomach for maximum absorption. Ideal times to consume glutamine: immediately before a workout, just before bedtime or in the middle of the night.

Remember that gaining muscle is about the constant battle between the body's anabolic and catabolic processes.

Pro-Glutamine can help tip the balance in the right direction.

Chemical Nutrition HMB 120 capsules

Ref: CN-HMB

HMB has become the subject of an aggressively defended patent dispute in the United States. This serves to demonstrate how seriously the purveyors of this material view it's worthiness. The subject of numerous medical trials, HMB has firmly established itself in the athletes’ arsenal for the assault on catabolism.

Oral HMB supplementation has been shown to partly prevent exercise - induced proteolysis and muscle damage from resistance training. It's use also resulted in increases in strength and lean muscle mass!

Although HMB (beta-hydroxy-beta-methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the branched chain amino acid leucine and it's analog alpha-ketoisocaproate (KIC), indications are that plasma HMB is derived solely from leucine. The obvious exception to this would be when HMB is consumed as the end product i.e. where it occurs naturally. Catfish, alfalfa and grapefruit are three examples of natural sources, although it is found in only small amounts in these. Leucine itself only converts to HMB at the rate of about 5%, demonstrating that leucine supplementation would also be an impractical approach to boosting HMB levels.

Not being subject to US patent restrictions, CNP are now fortunately able to offer HMB to the serious athlete.

Research has indicated that 1.5 - 3 grams per day in divided dosages was effective enough to deliver the previously mentioned improvements. We feel that, for hard training athletes, 3 grams per day taken around your workout is best.

With all the relevant research supporting HMB use, can you really afford not to use it?

Sound too good to be true? Keep reading...

We all know that supplements are not a replacement for nutrition and training, but if you are looking for a supplement to enhance every part of your workout and take your gains to the next level... look no further than Purple Wraath by Controlled Labs.

The Purple Wraath PurplEAA Complex is a very efficient formula based on the science of actual homo sapiens muscle protein and clinical studies on human amino acid assimilation. Essential Amino Acids (EAA's) are the "building blocks" of lean muscle mass, but the EAA's from whey protein can take hours to enter circulation. The solution is the Purple Wraath fast-acting, free-form PurplEAA Complex:

While essential amino acids function cohesively as a group to aid in your training, additionally they each produce a significant benefit when it comes training:

Leucine:
- Primary anabolic trigger
- Enhance recovery
- Optimize hormone levels

Valine:
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Nitrogen balance
- Anti-inflammatory

Isoleucine:
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Hormones

Lysine:
- Beta-oxidation
- Nitrogen balance
- Calcium absorption
- Energy

Arginine:
- Vasodilator
- Nutrient delivery
- Anti-Catabolic

Histidine:
- Vasodilator
- Sexual function

Threonine:
- Nutrient uptake
- Immune system

Methionine:
- Enhance metabolism
- Energy
- Mood
- Antioxidant

Phenylalanine:
- Energy
- Hormones
- Mood

It's important to understand that our EAA Complex includes all of the BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) that you have used in the past, including a precise ratio of leucine. Research shows that blood levels of these KEY amino acids are directly related to muscle protein synthesis, so we formulated a comprehensive and efficient matrix to enhance lean mass directly and indirectly, and under various conditions. Now, that ratio is important, but there are some other very exciting points about this formula. Unlike some of the amino acid supplements on the market, you aren't paying for cheap "filler" ingredients such as dextrose or maltodextrin when you purchase Purple Wraath. Also, we chose not to include the amino acid glutamine since it is not an essential amino acid, and our bodies can synthesize it on its own in sufficient quantities. Because the studies that we based this formula off of do not use tryptophan and since it has the potential for "sedative" like side affects, we designed Purple Wraath to be completely tryptophan-free.

By combining intense exercise or weightlifting with the fast absorbing PurplEAA Complex you can rush nutrients into the active cells of your working muscles, creating an anabolic environment optimal for recovery and lean mass.

What would an EAA product be without some amazing support ingredients? Good, but not great. To make this formula great we added the PurplEndurance Complex.

You can't create an optimal anabolic environment without intensity so Controlled Labs decided to take things to the extreme with Purple Wraath by including the ultimate caffeine-free Ergogenic Complex:

So what does each of the ingredients in the PurplEndurance Complex do?

Beta-Alanine:
- Helps increase aerobic efficiency
- Helps enhance oxygen transport
- Helps to reduce lactic acid accumulation

Citrulline Malate:
- Reduces Lactic Acid and Ammonia
- Boosts energy production
- Has an oxygen sparing effect
- Boosts mitochondrial function

Betaine Anhydrous:
- Is a key osmotic/cellular hydration ingredient
- Enhances muscle fullness
- Acts as an energy enzyme protector
- Induces the conversion of homocysteine to methionine
- Elevates glutathione levels
- Promotes liver health
- Helps you maintain intracellular electrolytes
- Enhances metabolism

Ginger:
- Aids in nutrient absorption
- Enhances digestion/stomach function
- Produces a nootropic effect

Norvaline:
- Helps elevate naturally occurring eNOS

As you can see, we have responded to customer demand and the result: Purple Wraath...the most advanced pre-workout product available!!

Extreme Aminos - 500 capsules

Ref: EX17

Many of the meals that we eat everyday, may be healthy, nutritious and low in fat, but the protein sources may also contain a poor or incomplete ratio of amino acids that are needed to maintain and build muscle tissue. Amino acids are what the body breaks protein down into after we eat them. One of the best ways to rectify this situation is to supplement every meal with Extreme Aminos. Doing so insures that each meal is delivering the body with all the necessary amino acids to maintain itself and grow.
Extreme Aminos are a convenient easy to carry protein source which requires no mixing, perfect for keeping in the car or a drawer at work so your body needs NEVER end up in a catabolic state through not having access to easy to take protein.

Improve Dietary Amino Acid Intake & Recuperation Times

Extremely Convenient Source Of Protein

DIRECTIONS: Take 6-10 capsules with each meal. Individual requirements will vary due to the amount of muscle the user has, the quality of the users diet and the intensity of the training.

INGREDIENTS: Dried sea kelp, Alfalfa, Desiccated liver, Yeast, Gelatin (Shell), Magnesium Stearate, Glutamine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine.

Extreme Glutamine - 300 capsules

Ref: EX13

Although Glutamine is classed as a non-essential amino acid (the body can make it on its own), the body produces it in insufficient amounts for the needs of a trained athlete. 60% of all skeletal muscle is Glutamine, so it could very well be the most important amino acid for athletes and bodybuilders. Extreme Glutamine Complex Capsules are 85% amino acids, 37.5% of which are free form glutamine (to repair and maintain the stomach), 37.5% of which are peptide bonded (for repair, growth and maintenance of muscle tissue) and the remaining 25% is made up of the 17 amino acids which are digestible from food.
Unique to Extreme, Glutamine Complex Capsules are a complex amino acid capsule containing free form and peptide bonded glutamine, they also contain another 17 amino acids in peptide bonded chains. The reason they are made this way is to ensure a large proportion of the glutamine makes it to the destination you want, your muscle cells.

Contains Both Free Form & Peptide Bonded Glutamine

300 Capsules Containing Full Amino Acid Spectrum

DIRECTIONS: 5 capsules to be taken along with each solid meal. Prior to an intense workout 10-15 capsules should be taken to protect muscle stored amino acids, and to have the subsequent muscle tissue repair process ready to begin at the end of the workout.

INGREDIENTS: Fractionate solubised wheat protein, Glutamine. Capsule shell: Gelatin, Magnesium stearate

IDS BCAA 180 gel caps

Ref: IDSBCAA

Essential Building Blocks For The Growth Of Muscle Tissue!

Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. You must get them from complete protein foods or combinations of incomplete vegetable foods. There are 9 essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and valine. Your body can make non-essential amino acids by itself from vitamins and other amino acids. The essential branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) are of special importance for athletes because they are metabolized in the muscle, rather than in the liver. Here's how this works: After digestion once protein is broken down into individual amino acids these aminos can either be used to build new proteins or be burned as fuel to produce energy.

IDS L-Glutamine with MSM 554g

Ref: IDSLGLU

Ideal Product For Post Workout Rehabilitation!

Total Recovery L-Glutamine by IDS is the ideal product for post workout rehabilitation for torn muscle fibers. Research has shown that supplementing 5-15 grams of L-Glutamine per day can decrease muscle soreness, decrease recovery time and boost the body's immune system. There is no better quality L-Glutamine on the market today than Total Recovery.

L-Glutamine is the most prevalent amino acid in skeletal muscle tissue and blood. Research suggests that overtraining may be related to low blood L-Glutamine levels. Supplementation with L-Glutamine may aid in muscle recuperation as well as in immune system function.

The presence of MSM is crucial to proper cell replacement. Under optimal conditions, new flexible cells replace old ones by attaching to flexible tissue. MSM provides the flexible bond between proteins that this process requires. Without it, tissues and cells become rigid. This can lead to the premature deterioration of various body organs. MSM also replenishes organs by increasing blood circulation and contributing to general tissue detoxification.

Inner Armour Amino 2000 - 150 tablets

Ref: AR32

Ultra refined amino acid complex provides precise dosages of essential protein fractions supporting lean muscle integrity.

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein in the body. Amino acids are essential for the synthesis of structural proteins like muscle tissue, organs, skin and hair; enzymes; some hormones; and neurotransmitters. Amino acids are also involved in numerous metabolic pathways that affect exercise metabolism.

Amino acids are the only nutrients that contain the essential nitrogen element. Carbohydrate and fats do not contain nitrogen. Nitrogen is an essential element for maintaining and increasing lean muscle mass. In order for an anabolic (building) state to occur intra-muscular nitrogen balance must be positive. At times when nitrogen levels may be low i.e. post exercise, the body is in a catabolic (degenerative) state. When nitrogen levels are elevated the body can achieve an anabolic state. The need for amino acids in the diet is critical to lean muscle developments. Too little dietary protein will hinder muscular development and may contribute to other health complications.

A considerable amount of research has evaluated dietary protein needs of athletes. Most studies indicate that in order to maintain protein balance during intense resistance and/or endurance training, athletes should ingest approximately 1.3 to 1.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body mass per day. The protein / amino acid requirement for athletes training at high-altitude may be as much as 2.2 grams protein per kilogram per day in order to maintain protein balance. This protein intake is about 1.5 to 2 times the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for the normal adult. Athletes who do not ingest enough quality protein in their diet, and/or train at high altitudes may be susceptible to protein malnutrition. Low protein ingestion can create a situation of slow tissue growth and/or recovery from training.

Amino 2000™ provide a complete spectrum of rapidly assimilated nitrogen-rich protein peptides and fractions essential to muscular development. Provided in calibrated dosages these nutrients provide targeted anabolic/anti-catabolic support to the hard trained muscle integrity.

Amino 2000™ are the perfect protein supplement when versatility, efficiency, and mobility are issues for athletes. Super fortify your meals and beverages with these power-packed amino tablets. Anytime, anywhere you have the power of protein at your fingertips.
