VETSENSE BCAA Paste 60ml (12)

DescriptionA source of the three essential Branch Chain Amino Acids Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine plus cofactors which may assist in normal energy production and protein synthesis in horses. Branch chain amino acids (BCAA) cannot be synthesized by the body and research studies have shown that they play an important role in muscle recovery after exercise. Following heavy exercise, branch chain amino acids levels in the bloodstream are reduced to the point where the body needs to breakdown muscle cells and degrade liver protein to supply more branch chain amino acids for the body to use. When horses consume branch chain amino acid within 30 minutes after strenuous work, the body will use these added BCAA in the bloodstream first. This reduces the need to use muscle cells and liver proteins.
