Self's BCAA 8:1:1 contains BCAA amino acids (branched-chain amino acids) with leucine in a ratio of 8:1:1. BCAA amino acids are vital for the creation and maintenance of muscle mass. They make up one-third of muscle proteins and consist of the three essential amino acids - leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are important because the body does not produce them, and they must be consumed through food or dietary supplements.

• Contributes to muscle growth
• Accelerates muscle recovery
• Increases muscle energy
• Improves protein absorption
• Reduces muscle fatigue
• May reduce muscle soreness

Per 8-gram serving, it contains a total of 5g of BCAA, as well as L-alanine, Vitamin B6, folic acid, and a small amount of Taurine (0.5g). BCAA passes through the liver and is delivered directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption by the muscles. Taking BCAA can reduce lactic acid levels after intense exercise, resulting in decreased muscle fatigue. It also helps regulate the absorption of other amino acids and proteins.

BCAA 8:1:1 has anabolic and anti-catabolic properties due to the amino acids' ability to significantly increase protein synthesis and maintain a healthier balance between testosterone and cortisol. BCAA prevents protein breakdown and muscle loss, especially during periods of low-calorie intake.
