What is Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000?
Branched Chain Amino Acids are one of the most important nutrients that you can have in your diet when your goals are muscle building and fat loss.
Why?
Amino acids are the building blocks of lean muscle tissue. After an intense workout, your muscles have micro-tears. These tears are safe (so don’t worry!) but they need to right nutrients to heal and grow back stronger than before. One of the best ways to support your recovery is to use amino acids. The best sources of amino acids are protein but your body just doesn’t have the time to wait for protein to be digested. Give your muscles an instant shot of branched chain amino acids with Optimum Nutrition BCAA 5000.
