MHP BCAA 3300 - POWERED BY TWICE THE LEUCINE!
MAKE YOUR BODY AN ANABOLIC POWERHOUSE!*

MHP's BCAA 3300 sets a new standard in strength-building sports supplementation by providing the most highly anabolic branched chain amino acid complex in a timed release formula.* BCAA 3300 delivers a highly anabolic 4:1:1 BCAA ratio.

The newest scientific has surmised that the amino acid leucine is the anabolic powerhouse due to its major role in activating protein synthesis and promoting a higher rate of muscle growth and repair via the mTOR anabolic pathway.* This suggests that leucine is the most critical BCAA for promoting overall protein synthesis for peak muscle building.* BCAA 3300 utilizes a highly anabolic 4:1:1 branched chain amino acids ratio that contains four times the amount of the leucine to isoleucine and valine. The unique timed release delivery system provides a steady supply of these key BCAA's. This allows for a continual supply of these critical aminos for powerful strength and muscle building, anti-catabolic muscle support, energy production and recovery.*

MHP's BCAA 3300 is a sophisticated, advanced anabolic BCAA formula designed for all serious weight lifters and bodybuilders looking to support increased strength and muscularity!*

BCAA's SUPPORT INCREASED STRENGTH AND MASS*

Ingestion of a supplement containing BCAA's while following an 8-week resistance training program resulted in a greater decrease in percent body fat, an increase in lean mass, and 10-RM strength gains on the bench press and squat vs. ingestion of a whey supplement or a sports drink. In addition, the ingestion of a whey protein supplement resulted in greater lean mass gains than ingestion of a sports drink.* (Jim Stoppani, et al., Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, 2009.)

LEUCINE CRITICAL FOR mTOR SIGNAL FOR PROTEIN SYNTHESIS*

After exercise, recovery of muscle protein synthesis may benefit from dietary protein or BCAA's to increase tissue levels of leucine in order to release the inhibition of the initiation factor 4 complex through the activation of the protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR).* Leucine's effect on mTOR is synergistic with insulin via the phosphoinositol 3-kinase signaling pathway. Together, insulin and leucine allow skeletal muscle to coordinate protein synthesis with physiological state and dietary intake.* (Layne Norton and Donald Layman, Journal of Nutrition, 2006.)

BCAA's AND LEUCINE MAY SUPPORT IMPROVED RECOVERY AND REDUCED SORENESS*

Exercise may increase BCAA requirement, and BCAA supplementation before exercise may attenuate the breakdown of muscle proteins during exercise.* Leucine may promote protein synthesis in skeletal muscle, suggesting that a BCAA supplement may attenuate muscle damage induced by exercise and promote recovery from the damage.* Findings also suggest that BCAA's may be useful for muscle recovery following intense exercise, as BCAA supplementation before training decreased delayed-onset muscle soreness after squatting exercise.* (Yoshiharu Shimomura, et al., Journal of Nutrition, 2006.)

BCAA's PROMOTE INCREASED ENDURANCE EXERCISE CAPACITY*

Supplementation with BCAA's was suggested to increase the lactate threshold before exhaustion in high-intensity exercise on a cycle ergometer.* Subjects using BCAA's had noticeably higher plasma BCAA concentrations than the non-supplemented group, in addition to higher respiratory exchange ratio and both VO2 max and VO2 workload levels. These results suggest that BCAA supplementation may be effective to increase endurance exercise capacity.* (Keitaro Matsumoto, et al., Journal of Nutritional Science Vitaminol, 2009.)

BCAA SUPPLEMENTATION PROVIDES SUPPORT AGAINST CATABOLISM*

Exercise is known to deplete serum BCAA levels via oxidation. BCAA supplementation before and after intense exercise has been suggested to exhibit beneficial effects for decreasing exercise-induced muscle damage and promoting muscle protein synthesis.* This suggests that BCAA's are a useful supplement in relation to exercise and sports.* (Yoshiharu Shimomura, et al., Journal of Nutrition, 2004.)

LEUCINE AND MUSCLE PROTEIN METABOLISM

Studies suggest that meals supplemented with leucine can both acutely and over a longer period of time beneficially affect muscle protein anabolism.* In elderly adults, even small amounts of ingested leucine may acutely improve muscle protein retention.* The anabolic effect of extra leucine on muscle protein was observed in the elderly and the response of muscle protein synthesis following ingestion of small amounts of amino acids was surmised to be greatly enhanced by additional leucine supplementation.* (Christos Katsanos, et al., American Journal of Physiological and Endocrinological Metabolism, 2006.)
