Description
Frontier BCAA’s represents the most comprehensive postworkout/recovery product on the market today. In addition to a 4:1:1 ratio of BCAA’s, this formula boasts 4 g of glutamine, 1 g of L-Citrulline, an Amino Acid Complex featuring L-Threonine, L-Cysteine HCl, L-Histidine HCl, L-Lysine HCl, L-Phenylalanine, L-Methionine, L-Tyrosine, and L-Tryptopha, and an electrolyte profile all in a great tasting raspberry lemonade powdered drink mix.
Benefits
BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine), in particular leucine, have the potential to produce anabolic effects on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and simultaneously decreasing the rate of protein degradation in skeletal muscle tissue. The ratio of BCAA’s can vary from formula to formula and in this case the emphasis was placed on leucine primarily due to its role in providing metabolic support for insulin sensitivity.*
Many studies have indicated that exercise-induced blood ammonia elevation and blood lactate increments have been supported by L-citrulline supplementation. Further, citrulline may support the detoxification of ammonia via the urea cycle and also support healthy levels of additional glycolysis needed during exercise.*
L-Glutamine is a mainstay in many workout products, specifically because of the role this amino acid plays in muscle recovery. The most notable mechanism is the impact it has on nitrogen balance, which is vital to building muscle mass and perhaps more importantly, muscle repair.
Frontier BCAAs Powder also contains an Amino Acid Complex featuring L-Threonine, L-Cysteine HCl, L-Histidine HCl, L-Lysine HCl, L-Phenylalanine, L-Methionine, L-Tyrosine, and L-Tryptophan. Protein is comprised of amino acid building blocks, which the body uses in a variety of ways for maintenance, growth, and repair of various tissues. Some of these amino acids can only be obtained from the diet (“essential amino acids”) and others can be made by the body itself. Some amino acids like tyrosine and tryptophan are utilized in the body to form the basis of neurotransmitters and hormones.
