Tri PEP – Branch Chain Amino Acid – Designer Tripeptide BCAA

Tri PEP – Branch Chain Amino Acid – Designer Tripeptide BCAA BCAAs have been a staple in the supplement industry for over a decade and with good cause. BCAAs are composed of what are considered the three most anabolic amino acids: leucine, valine, and isoleucine. Supplementation can increase muscle protein synthesis, assist glucose uptake into cells, and prevent fatigue. Leucine is the primary driver in increasing muscle protein synthesis. It activates a protein called mTOR, which induces muscle protein synthesis. Muscle protein synthesis is the metabolic process where amino acids are incorporated into skeletal muscle tissue and is considered a proxy for measuring the efficiency of exercise or nutrition protocols. As such, muscle protein synthesis is of chief importance for anyone concerned with building or maintaining muscle mass, such as an athlete or aging person. Isoleucine is very effective at shuttling glucose into the cell, which is a potent ergogenic and performance aid. More
