Why use BCAA?

These amino acids are regarded as "essential" as our bodies are unable to produce them. This implies that diet is the only way to ingest them.

Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are the three necessary amino acids that make up approximately one-third of the skeletal muscle in the human body.

It has been demonstrated that using BCAA supplements can reduce muscle soreness, reduce muscle fatigue, and assist develop muscle.

Why use L-Citrulline malate?

There are two main forms of citrulline...

1. L-citrulline

The form naturally found in your body is L-citrulline. L-citrulline is helpful for athletic performance, because it improves blood flow to working muscles.

2. Citrulline malate

Citrulline malate is a combination of citrulline with malic acid. Malic acid is found in apples, among other fruits. Citrulline malate is a direct precursor to nitric oxide. This form of citrulline can help to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and availability - the fuel for hardworking muscles.

Citrulline malate can be beneficial for muscular endurance and strength performance.
