Other Label Statements

General Statements: All Other Content

The Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are essential amino acids, and thus cannot be made in the body.* BCAAs are critical for muscle protein synthesis, and because BCAAs can be used as fuel during intense exercise, BCAA supplementation can help to preserve existing muscle tissue.* In addition, BCAAs can support the recovery process by promoting the normal repair processes that take place after exertion.* BCAAs also play an important role in the maintenance of proper immune system function and the support of healthy aging.*
