Recovering quickly with BCAAs
- optimal 2:1:1 ratio
- helps prevent muscle breakdown
- increases lean muscle mass
Branched-chain amino acids – we can’t make the three amino acids ourselves, so we must obtain them from the 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 them down.
Leucine activates processes that kickstart muscle building and makes new mitochondria, which generate cellular energy. Valine and isoleucine play a slightly different roles, helping our cells take in glucose from the 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 Powder?
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;
- Improve recovery after strengthening exercises;
- Help to decrease the damage endurance exercise causes to muscles;
- Decrease feelings of tiredness;
- Make it easier to lose weight and help burn fat.
For those who would like to grow muscle or shed some pounds without compromising their current physique, BCAAs can be a goldmine. BCAA Powder is also great for those who don’t consume sufficient protein or those who prefer fasted exercise.
Any athlete’s must-have
When you workout BCAAs integrate into musclebuilding chemistry and when you are done – they help to mend microdamage that was caused to the muscle tissue and ensure complete recovery. There is no simpler way to put it – BCAA Powder is a must for anyone who wants to get the best out of each workout.
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.

BCAAs and protein – what is the connection?
Protein is made up of amino acids. It typically contains three BCAAs and 17 other amino acids. Some of the amino acids that make up protein are produced by our bodies and are considered non-essential; others must be obtained from outside: through food or supplements, and are considered essential.
BCAA powder and protein powder - is there a difference?
The two serve different purposes, with protein powders providing more amino acids. Protein powders are great as meal replacements or as supplements to increase overall intake. BCAAs are a targeted supplement designed to promote recovery.
heard that leucine is the active ingredient - so can you just take leucine?
Leucine promotes muscle growth, but on its own it can also have the opposite effect. This is because our cells trigger reactions when they process leucine, which require other BCAAs. If you don't have enough of them, your muscles have to supply them, which reduces your performance.
Why does BCAA Powder have a 2:1:1 ratio?
BCAA Powder features an optimal BCAA ratio of 2:1:1, with leucine being preferred. The formula contains twice as much of leucine as other two BCAAs because it's easier for the body to utilize it in this ratio and get exactly what it needs for recovery.
