BCAAs are considered essential because they are not produced by the body and must be obtained through our diet. Without them, we would not be able to survive. Three of these nine are branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and are particularly important for recovery.
Being promoted in the field of bodybuilding, the benefits of BCAAs extend well beyond training. Consuming a BCAA formula is a great way to incorporate valine, leucine, and isoleucine into your diet.
Improving muscle growth is one of the benefits of BCAAs during training. Speeding up muscle recovery time is also one of the main reasons people consume BCAA drinks. As mentioned, a person must obtain BCAAs through their diet or in supplement form. However, these same benefits also apply when your muscles and energy levels need a boost. This could be during a hike, a yoga class, a bike sprint, or even a walk. A branched-chain amino acid complex can help prevent muscle loss.
Researchers at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine found that when participants took an essential amino acid supplement high in leucine (compared to the base supplement) during a 60-minute bike ride, their muscle protein synthesis increased by 33%.
More than just a BCAA
We add coconut water crystals to our formula to enhance the electrolyte content of the drink. Coconut water contains five vital electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. The crystals help replace sodium lost during exercise and are much higher in quantity than other key electrolytes, especially in the heat. Potassium is also essential, as it improves rehydration through intracellular water replacement after exercise.
The few grams of carbohydrates in the drinks come from coconut water. There is no additional sugar added beyond its natural composition of glucose and fructose.
