Modern BCAA+

Modern BCAA+™ 535g by Modern Sports Nutrition
USP Labs was the first company in the world to bring a branched-chain amino acid to market with an 8:1:1 ratio and added L-alanyl-L-Glutamine. Modern BCAA completely upended the BCAA amino acid market, since after numerous studies on the subject it had emerged that L-Leucine is the most important essential amino acid for all athletes, as it performs fundamental roles in energy metabolism and muscle maintenance. Today the newly founded Modern Sports Nutrition, which has acquired the rights, has put them back into production.
Perfecting the Modern BCAA formulation took the USP Labs technicians almost 16 months of work, but it was worth it, because what came out of it was a product unique on the market. In terms of Leucine, from a strictly technical point of view, the data show that only Leucine and the other amino acids structurally linked to Leucine are responsible for increasing the mTOR process, the activator of protein synthesis.
Another point in favour of Modern BCAA was the complete absence of calories, since it contains no carbohydrates of any kind, a characteristic that makes the product ultra-soluble. USP Labs also paid attention to the quality of the raw materials used, which is exactly why they decided to use natural colours and flavours.

This version, called PLUS, additionally brings electrolytes and 4 essential amino acids:
– Glycine: supplementing this amino acid alongside exercise is very important, because muscles release more glycine during exercise than any other amino acid, creating a catabolic state.
– Alanine: also released at very high rates during fasted exercise, making supplementation important to prevent a catabolic state †.
– Taurine: the most abundant amino acid in skeletal muscle. A recent animal study showed that when muscles are low in taurine, muscle function and performance were significantly reduced.
– Lysine: this essential amino acid has been shown to spare leucine.

Are you taking carbohydrates with your training? In that case, here is why you should take Modern BCAA+
The essential amino acids in Modern BCAA+, when taken with a carbohydrate source, can have quite remarkable effects.
When Modern BCAA+ is taken with carbohydrates, it lets you exploit the anabolic potential of the hormone insulin while minimising the potential lipogenic effects. This matters because insulin is a highly anabolic hormone with respect to skeletal muscle; however, insulin can cause fat gain. This particular amino acid appears to let the body exploit the anabolic effects of insulin on skeletal muscle while minimising fat gain.
