Potential applications of BCAAs: * Endurance exercise * Intense weight training * Speeding muscle repair and growth * Chronic muscle fatigue and weakness * Enhanced exercise recovery * Alcohol-induced liver damage (e.g. cirrhosis) Long chains of molecularly bonded individual amino acids form protein. The body must first break these molecular (peptide) bonds for amino acid absorption to take place. Solgar's free form amino acids are already in their simplest form (no peptide bonds) and can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Solgar's BCAA Plus supplies the three essential branched chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine in their pure, crystalline free forms. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition, please consult your healthcare practitioner before taking any dietary supplement. Solgar BCAA Plus Vegetable Capsules are free of corn, yeast, wheat, soy and dairy products and are formulated without the use of preservatives, artificial flavours or colours.
