Branched chain amino acids – we can’t make the three amino acids ourselves, so we must obtain them from foods we consume. We process them differently than other amino acids. Instead of being taken into the liver, they enter muscle cells directly and get used as they are.
We are constantly degrading muscle and building it back up, however when we exercise, we speed up the first process. To ensure we’re synthesizing muscle, the body requires the correct building blocks. BCAAs are perfect for this purpose, as they can boost muscle building processes and tone down those that break it down.
Leucine activates processes which kickstart muscle building and makes new mitochondria, which generate cellular energy. Valine and isoleucine play a slightly different role, helping our cells take in glucose from blood.
BCAAs promote recovery from a workout. They tend to decrease feelings of soreness, but also combat inflammation and immune reactions to muscle damage.
What’s so good about Maxler BCAA 8400?
BCAAs are versatile and involved in many processes. Some of their beneficial effects include:
Help to stay strong and keep muscle mass on if you’re eating less than usual;
Improved recovery after strengthening exercises;
Help to decrease the damage endurance exercise causes on muscles;
Decreased feelings of tiredness;
Aid in making weight loss and fat burning easier.
For those who would like to grow muscle or shed some pounds without compromising your current physique, BCAAs can be a goldmine. BCAA 8400 is also great for those who don’t consume sufficient protein or those who prefer fasted exercise.

Looking to maintain or increase muscle mass? We got you.
BCAA accounts for approximately 35% of essential amino acids in muscle proteins. When you workout BCAAs integrate into muscle building chemistry and when you are done – they help to mend microdamage that was caused to the muscle tissue and ensure complete recovery.
FAQ
Protein is built of amino acids. It has three BCAAs and 17 others. Some of those comprising protein are made within our body and called non-essential, some of those must be obtained from external sources: food or supplements, and are called essential.
The two serve different purposes, with protein powders providing more amino acids. Protein powders are great for meal replacements, or as additions to boost overall intake. BCAAs are a targeted supplement, designed to boost recovery.
Leucine increases muscle building, however on its own, leucine can have the opposite effect. That’s because when our cells process leucine, it activates reactions that require the other BCAAs. If you don’t have enough of them, your muscles will have to provide them, decreasing your gains.
BCAA 8400 boasts an optimal proportion of the BCAAs – 2:1:1, favoring leucine. The formula has twice more of it than other 2 BCAAs because for the body it is easier to utilize it in this proportion, getting just what it needs to recover.
Simple formula for complex results
2:1:1 ratio of BCAA ensures muscle growth, tones down muscle breakdown, and allows for a clean and smooth recovery, locking all your gains in and supporting your strive to get more.
