Sci-Fit’s BCAA AKG 1000™ provides a pharmaceutical grade concentration of 100% pure Branched Chain Amino Acids in a sustained release formula which is pH-controlled to ensure maximum absorption and stability. BCAA’s comprise up to one third of muscle tissue. During intense exercise and/or times of extreme stress on the body, the BCAA’s are depleted from the muscle tissue at a rapid rate leading to increased muscle tissue breakdown. The key to success for any athlete, from novice to world class, is not necessarily the training program itself, but the ability to recover post training. Supplementation with the proper ratio of BCAA’s may greatly enhance the body’s ability to recover. Two Soft Gels are equal to 5 grams of BCAA powder .
