If you're serious about getting fit and have started the process of understanding supplementation, you've probably seen the letters BCAA.

2
00:00:07.978 --> 00:00:14.314
They stand for branched chain amino acids, and here's why they should play a role in your everyday wellness.

3
00:00:14.314 --> 00:00:23.354
BCAAs are the essential amino acids leucine, isolucine and valine, and comprise about 30% of your body's muscle protein.

4
00:00:23.354 --> 00:00:31.010
When we say essential, it means that your body does not create it on its own, and so you have to get it through the foods you eat or supplementation.

5
00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:34.172
So what does the two to one to one ratio mean?

6
00:00:34.172 --> 00:00:42.754
Because leucine is so critical for muscle growth, Mountain Ops BCAA has more leucine than its counterparts, isolucine and valine.

7
00:00:42.754 --> 00:00:46.450
Just like other amino acids, they are building blocks of protein.

8
00:00:46.450 --> 00:00:53.130
But these amino acids help fuel your muscles and help minimize the breakdown of proteins during your workout.

9
00:00:53.130 --> 00:00:61.100
Simply put, Mountain Ops BCAAs can help you get more out of your daily workout, and we recommend you take it as an intra or post workout product.
