Solgar® BCAA Plus vegetarian capsules contain the essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. Vitamin B6 is also added, which contributes to normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and are necessary for many internal functions of the body. They are divided into "essential" and "non-essential." Essential amino acids are those that the body cannot produce but must obtain from the diet. The body can also use amino acids to create hormones, enzymes, neurotransmitters, antibodies, and nutrient transporters. An insufficient supply of essential amino acids increases the body's need for non-essential amino acids, which it must obtain through the diet. Foods that increase amino acid intake include meat, beans, cheese, and eggs.
Solgar® BCAA Plus is one of the highest quality products in Solgar's amino acid range. Take 2 vegetarian capsules daily.
