Maximum Anabolic Ratio
BCAA 5:1:1 was one of the first products our bio-chemists and formulators developed. Why? Simply because every single pro bodybuilder and athlete on our team has been using a Branched Chain Amino Acid product for years and considered them a crucial element of their supplementation program, both off season and in their pre-competition period. Our athletes where all using the standard 2 Leucine, 2 Isoleucine, 2 Valine combination. Some in an antiquated, hard to digest tablet form right before exercise.
L-Leucine has been the subject of many recent studies concerning muscle fiber degradation during exercise and the new consensus is that athletes would benefit form a higher L-Leucine content in their BCAA formulas. With too high of a L-Leucine content the product would merely be a Leucine product with too small of an amount of the other two essential amino acids. A 5:1:1 ratio proved to be optimal and uses the Maximum Anabolic Ratio (M.A.R.) precisely.
Then Alpha Pro Nutrition packed a whopping 1,000 mg in a capsule form which is the highest amount we've found in the sports supplement industry. The uniqueness of BCAA 5:1:1 is that we have added essential absorption elements for a fast and slow release of the amino acids. Approximately 50% of the dose is absorbed immediately while the remainder is time released into the system. Ingesting a dose before a workout and immediately after ensures your muscles will be engorged with high quality BCAAs for strength, endurance and most importantly a dramatic anabolic effect in the exercised muscle after the workout.
Compare the BCAA capsules you probably have on your shelf to our formula. Are they 1 full gram per capsule? Do the math and calculate how many milligrams are actually in each capsule, not the overall milligrams in the company's serving size. You will see that most top brands will hover around 500 mgs per capsule. You are getting a half dose! Do they have Chromium Picolinate, Vit B6, Biotin, Vit B12 and are they designed to be absorbed immediately with a portion being released over time? Are they easily digestible or do you feel those little bricks sitting in your stomach while you're working out? If you're lucky your stomach will start breaking the tablet down by the time you are finishing up your workout! Not exactly perfect timing.
We think Alpha Pro Nutrition has developed a perfectly balanced, extra strength BCAA capsule by introducing BCAA 5:1:1 to the worldwide market. We are confident you will think so also after training with to our product!
