Isoleucine

Isoleucine

Isoleucine is an essential amino acid that along with leucine and valine makeup the branched chain amino acids (BCAA). This amino acid cannot be manufactured in the body, and needs to be supplied in the diet. Isoleucine is thought to play the biggest role in increasing endurance and helping heal, repair and grow muscle tissue damaged from injury and strenuous exercise and training. Isoleucine is especially important to serious athletes and body builders because of its role in boosting energy production and assisting the body recover from strenuous physical activity.

Isoleucine, together with the other two branched-chain-amino-acids promote muscle recovery after physical exercise and on its own it is needed for the formation of hemoglobin as well as assisting with regulation of blood sugar levels as well as energy levels. It is also involved in blood-clot formation.


Therapeutic doses of isoleucine may be very helpful in preventing muscle wasting and promoting tissue repair after surgery or trauma. Substantial evidence in the literature supports the anabolic effects of branched-chain amino acids on muscle protein synthesis. Supplementation with isoleucine may, therefore, have a positive effect on increasing muscle protein in those who are suffering from muscle protein loss. Amen and Yoshumira have presented evidence which indicates that isoleucine, leucine, and valine are important for stimulating anabolic function in humans. Isoleucine is also converted in the liver to blood sugar; therefore, it can be helpful in maintaining proper blood glucose levels. Therapeutic doses of isoleucine range between 200 to 2,000 mg per day.

The Best BCAA Product for the Price is MuscleTech MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA


MuscleTech MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA, Fruit Punch, 332 grams

I loved the taste of MyoBuild and more importantly the price and formulation.

I highly recommend. 

Contains 2 grams of Leucine. 



From the manufacturer
·         Subjects Built 3.75 lbs. of Muscle in 6 Weeks with BCAA formula
·         Powerful strength enhancing BCAA formula
·         4:1:1 ratio of BCAA
·         Replenish electrolytes with BCAA formula

·         Increase strength by 40%, support recovery and fight catabolism, improves endurance

Amino BCAA Supplement
MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA is one of the most advanced BCAA and recovery formula in the market. A 4:1:1 ratio of BCAAs featuring a scientifically studied dose of leucine, plus isoleucine, valine, betaine, taurine and tart cherry work to build muscle, increase strength, improve recovery and decrease catabolic activity.

Replenish Electrolytes
For a truly complete amino BCAA formula, precise doses of electrolytes were added to help replenish electrolyte stores that are depleted during your workout.

Increase Strength By 40%
MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA is precisely formulated with a 4g dose of L-leucine (in 2 scoops). MuscleTech researchers ensured each serving of MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA has this exact 4g dose of leucine that was shown in a clinical study to help subjects increase their 5-rep max strength by over 40%.
Ispoglou et al., 2011 International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance. 6(1):38-50.

Improve Performance

The 2g dose of taurine found in 2 scoops of MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA is clinically shown to improve performance in endurance athletes. This free-form amino acid is one of the most abundant amino acids in muscle and also aids in cell volumization.
Balshaw et al., 2013. Amino Acids. 44(2):555-61.

Support Recovery and Fight Catabolism

Emerging research shows the powerful phytonutrients in tart cherries can support recovery after training through the reduction of post-workout pain, and also fight catabolism (muscle breakdown).
Connolly et al., 2006. British Journal of Sports Medicine. 40:679-683.

Subjects Built 3.75 lbs. Of Muscle In 6 Weeks

Betaine is one of the hottest new muscle building ingredients thanks to its ability to increase gains in lean muscle, strength and power! In fact, test subjects who supplemented with the exact 2.5g dose of betaine in 2 scoops of MyoBuild 4X Amino BCAA built 3.75 lbs. of lean muscle in 6 weeks compared to 0.66 lbs. by the placebo group. That’s over 4 times more muscle (vs. the placebo).
Betaine has been shown in a separate study to also enhance muscle endurance. In this study, active college males taking 1.25g of betaine per day for 2 weeks improved muscle endurance (squats) and increased the quality of repetitions performed.
