Helix-Somal BCAA

Amino Acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 20 amino acids that make up the proteins found in our bodies and in the food we eat. Our body can only make 11 of these amino acids which are grouped as non-essential because we don’t need to do anything to get them. This means that somehow, we need to get the other nine essential amino acids through our diet. Of these nine, there are three that make up BCAAs. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Branched-chain” refers to the chemical structure of BCAAs, which are found in protein-rich foods such as eggs, meat and dairy products. They are also a popular dietary supplement sold primarily in powder form. BCAA supplements are commonly taken in order to boost muscle growth and enhance exercise performance.

Some of the benefits of BCAAs include:

  • Increased Muscle Growth

  • Decreased Muscle Soreness.

  • Reduced Exercise Fatigue

  • Possible Benefit to People with Liver Disease.

What makes HHS BCAA product different?

Helix Health Sciences BCAA contains not only leucine, isoleucine and valine it also includes the

amino acid L-Carnosine. Carnosine is a protein building block that is naturally produced in the body. It is

concentrated in muscles when they are working, and it is also found in the heart, brain, and many other

parts of the body. Carnosine is used to prevent signs of aging and for preventing or treating

complications of diabetes such as nerve damage, eye disorders, and kidney problems. It is also used to

improve muscle strength and exercise performance.

Although it has long been known that carnosine helps reduce damaging protein glycation in the body,

scientists have reported other potentially beneficial effects of carnosine as well. For example, carnosine

has excellent antioxidant properties. It can greatly reduce damage from the highly reactive oxygen free

radicals that are produced from the out-of-control oxidation of lipids and sugar that can occur in

Metabolic Syndrome and diabetes. Moreover, this antioxidant effect occurs at concentrations of

carnosine known to exist in the human body.

Organic coconut water is included in this product as a source of hydrating agent which helps in

replenishing the body before and after workout.
