Highly Anabolic Leucine-Loaded BCAA Formula With Energizing Natural Caffeine
Two key components to athletic success are increased energy and muscle anabolism. You can now achieve both of these goals at the same time with MHP’s BCAA 10X ENERGY. When it comes to nutrients that stimulate muscle growth, the three BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine and valine) stand alone. In particular, exciting new research demonstrates that leucine is the most anabolic amino acid among the BCAAs, and has a unique ability to promote muscle growth and repair, as well as help improve fat oxidation.
Based on the latest research on leucine metabolism, MHP has created BCAA 10X ENERGY – a highly anabolic leucine-loaded formula, featuring a 10:1:1 BCAA ratio with 10 times the amount of leucine!
BCAA 10X ENERGY also provides natural caffeine from green tea, yerba mate and green coffee bean extract. These natural herbs provide synergistic actives that prolong and increase the energy-promoting effects of caffeine, further supporting extreme energy and focus.Many BCAA supplements are underdosed or contain a sub-optimal leucine diluted formula featuring a 2:1:1 ratio. Some BCAA formulas contain extraneous ingredients that add little benefit, other than to bulk up the product and spike up prices. Obviously, these are not attributes you want in your BCAA product of choice. |

When To Take BCAA 10X EnergyBCAA 10X ENERGY can be used at a variety of times during the day. When you are feeling sluggish, BCAA 10X ENERGY will help provide the energy you need to focus and perform at work. Or when you are ready to get a hard-core training session in, take BCAA 10X ENERGY pre-exercise for enhanced focus and energy. While BCAAs are often taken pre- and post-workout, research shows that consuming multiple doses of BCAAs can be critical for maximizing muscle growth. Consequently, you can also use BCAA 10X ENERGY with snacks or with your meals (particularly when they are low in protein), as well as an anabolic intra-workout supplement or any other time you would like a quick boost of energy and anabolism! |
BCAA 10X Energy - Science & BenefitsExciting research demonstrates the power of natural caffeine and leucine loaded BCAA formulas. Below is a look at the benefits that can be achieved while supplementing with BCAA 10X ENERGY, a highly anabolic and energy spiking, leucine-loaded BCAA formula. BCAA 10X ENERGY features a novel leucine loaded 10:1:1 BCAA ratio with 10 times the amount of leucine, as well as natural caffeine from green tea, yerba mate and green coffee bean extract.Increase Energy, Focus and Lower Fatigue with Natural Caffeine and Herbs |

There are many different caffeine-containing products out there, including certain amino acid supplements with energy components, but which is best? Research shows that consuming caffeine from natural sources will provide you with multiple additional benefits above what you get from synthetic caffeine (Dulloo et al., 2000). This is why BCAA 10X ENERGY contains several sources of natural caffeine, which help to boost energy levels quickly and provide energy for hours. |
In addition to caffeine, these herbs provide a potent source of antioxidants and flavonoids that may promote leanness, reduce minor soreness and exercise-induced inflammation and also extend the release of caffeine to reduce the “crash” associated with synthetic energizers. Its unique, potent formula makes BCAA 10X ENERGY a great choice as a muscle building and high energy supplement.
Caffeine itself is well documented to support exercise performance and concentration. Research shows caffeine supplementation can potentially enhance endurance performance by as much as 17%, increase strength and power by as much as 20% and reduce fatigue by 6%. These benefits appear to be due to caffeine’s ability to inhibit adenosine receptors, whose action is to inhibit excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain that are necessary for enhanced energy, focus and concentration (Astorino, Rohmann, and Firth, 2008; Ganio, et al., 2009).
Triggers Muscle Anabolism
For some time now, scientists have known that proteins are crucial for stimulating muscle growth. Fortunately, researchers have been able to identify which amino acids are responsible for this response. Proteins contain 20 different amino acids, nine of which are essential and cannot be produced by the body. In a groundbreaking series of experiments, Dr. Peter Garlick of the University of Illinois was able to isolate each individual amino acid and determined that the BCAAs were primarily responsible for the anabolic response elicited from a meal (Garlick, 2005). Dr. Garlick took this a step further and isolated all three BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine and valine) and found that it was in fact leucine that accounted for the anabolic response. A substantial amount of research has gone on to confirm these findings, showing that meals with higher leucine optimize muscle anabolism (Layman, 2002). |

A primary mechanism of action is leucine’s ability to stimulate activation of the protein kinase mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which helps to trigger muscle protein synthesis for greater growth. |
