Swanson ^® Branched-Chain Amino Acids is a dietary supplement containing amino acids with branched side chains. The formula has been further enriched with a high content of vitamin B6 to complement the daily diet of adults.

What is BCAA and when should you use them?

BCAAs ( branched chain amino acids ) are amino acids with branched side chains. These are leucine, valine and isoleucine, i.e. the endogenous protein amino acids. This means that the body cannot produce them on its own and they must be fed with a properly selected diet. Due to the increased demand for an additional serving of BCAA amino acids, especially physically active people, including those who practice strength and endurance sports, should include an additional serving of BCAA amino acids in their diet.

The ^Swanson® brand formula contains BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio (leucine:isoleucine:valine). The recommended daily serving of branched chain amino acids with AjiPure ^® additionally contains 7.5 mg of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 supports the maintenance of proper energy metabolism, i.e. all the mechanisms and processes that occur in the body that are responsible for obtaining, using and storing energy from the nutrients we provide throughout the day. This ingredient also contributes to maintaining proper protein and glycogen metabolism.

The Swanson ^® AjiPure ^® BCAA pack contains 90 capsules, which will last a month of daily use. Importantly, the formula does not contain ingredients of animal origin and can be successfully included in the diet of vegans and vegetarians as an additional source of BCAA.
