Branched Chain Amino Acid

Image
The  BCAA (branched chain amino acid)  group consists of three amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine. The name comes from their chemical structure, these amino acids have a side chain that contains one carbon. BCAA are essential amino acids, our bodies can’t synthesise them and they have to be obtained from the diet. Like other amino acids they are the basic building blocks of proteins, and hence necessary for life. However, they also have some very specific signalling functions, which gives them a very important role in controlling metabolism. Because of this they have a number of health benefits, beyond that of just being constituents of proteins.

Detoxing   your body  is a great start to a healthy and more active life. Have you noticed your body slowing down as you get older? Do you have more aches and pains? Do you feel a drastic change in your metabolism or mental sharpness? ​ Are your allergies getting more severe, or increasing in number? Are you more fatigued and less motivated to get moving?  Ageing isn’t as inevitable as we might feel. In fact, a lot of the slowing down process isn’t always just down to the passing of years.
