The branched chain amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine are three of the eight essential amino acids that the human body must receive in food, as these amino acids cannot be synthesized in the liver. The combination of these three essential amino acids makes up approximately 1\/3 of skeletal muscle in the human body, and plays an important role in protein synthesis. Besides having a potential benefit for healthy adults, brained-chain amino acids (BCAA) may show improvement in chronic wasting diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The current evidence suggests that BCAA is possibly an effective treatment of Anorexia, Hepatic Encephalopathy, Mania, muscle breakdown, and Tardive dyskinesia (involuntary, repetitive movements). NOW Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) contains these 3 essential amino acids in a recommended ratio. \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdult Dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e: Take 3 capsules, 1-3 times daily on an empty stomach, especially before and after exercise.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eIngredients (each capsule contains):\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eL-Leucine ((S)-2-amino-4-methylpentanoic acid)…………....400 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eL-Valine ((S)-2-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid)….…………...200 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eL-Isoleucine ((2S, 3S)-2-amino-3-methylpentanoic acid)……200 mg\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\r\n    \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cfont size=\"4\" face=\"Verdana\"\u003e Capsule (gelatin, water), Stearic Acid (vegetable source).\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"NOW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33256277074,"sku":"18712","price":31.75,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0408\/7649\/products\/s18712.jpg?v=1492532825","url":"https:\/\/parisnaturalhealthfoods.ca\/products\/now-branched-chain-amino-acids-120caps","provider":"Paris Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
