BCAA supplementation has been shown to reduce the serum activities of intramuscular enzymes associated with muscle damage.

Intake of BCAAs can help contribute to enhancing exercise performance by exerting its influence on fatigue, muscle damaging substances (lactate dehydrogenase) and energy metabolism substances.

For muscle tissue, BCAA are the main glutamine and alanine sources: the first is of utmost importance for ammonium neutralisation, the second for the induction of glucogenetic pathways in the liver, which is why it is imperative that BCAA levels are always topped up.
