BCAA’s For Muscle Growth
The key to building muscle is triggering a process in your body called muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Each time you perform resistance exercise (ie weight lifting) you trigger MPS.
What and when you eat will also stimulate MPS.
Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) stimulate MPS each time you consume them, in turn helping your muscles grow.
BCAA VMINO provides a clinical dose of BCAA’s in a 2:1:1 ratio of Lecuine : Isoleucine : Valine that scientific trials demonstrated to be the most effective for triggering MPS.
BCAA’s for Recovery and Endurance
BCAA supplementation will decrease muscle breakdown and decrease muscle fatigue.
Muscle Protein Breakdown (MPB) occurs during all forms of exercise including during anaerobic exercise (ie weightlifting), during aerobic exercise (ie long-distance running), and during composite exercise (ie most sports).
BCAA’s will help significantly decrease this MPB. As a result, BCAA’s limit Exercise Induced Muscle Damage (EIMD), and in turn will curb the dreaded Delayed Onset Muscle Sorness (DOMS) that kicks in 1-2 days after working out.
By minimizing EIMD and DOMS, athletes are able to recover faster and perform at a higher level.
In addition to improvements in recovery, BCAA supplementation will also improve endurance in both aerobic and anaerobic athletes by reducing muscle fatigue.
BCAA’s for the Healthy Lifestyle
BCAA’s for the Healthy Lifestyle
Many scientific trials have demonstrated that BCAA’s can benefit and support many aspects of health. These trials included the young, the old, the athletic, and the sedentary, and the scientists performed them under a wide array situations. Some of the results included:
- Support muscle mass and prevent muscle loss*
- Improve satiety after eating and thus support decreased food intake*
- Support proper glucose metabolism*
- Associated with being leaner*
- Stimulate PGC-1α (what some scientists are calling exercise in a pill) that supports health parameters*
- Support brain and liver*
Each time BCAA VMINO is produced, the product is batch tested to ensure your safety. Heavy metals, yeast and bacterial counts are quantified.

BCAA VMINO Ingredients & Usage
How to get the most out of your supplements
Directions
Each serving of BCAA VMINO provides 7 grams of BCAA with 0 carbohydrates and 0 sugars. For those calculating your macros, each serving delivers about 28 calories directly derived from the amino acids.
Mix one scoop of VMINO in 10-14 ounces of water depending upon your taste preference.
For Athletic Benefits:Take BCAA VMINO prior to your exercise and competition. This will trigger muscle growth and improve endurance, while decreasing muscle breakdown, muscle damage, and muscle soreness. We also suggest taking BCAA VMINO one other time during the day to further support muscle growth and minimize muscle breakdown. Studies show muscle breakdown will begin to occur approx. 2-3 hours following a meal. BCAA supplementation will help stop this.
For Health / Diet Benefits: Take VMINO BCAA 2-3 times a day. Use VMINO in place of your normal drink (ie soda or sports drink). If you use it in between meals, it will help offset hangry pains, and keep you focused on your diet goals.
Warnings
VMINO is not for use by those with pre-existing medical conditions; those taking any medications; those under the age of 18, or women who are contemplating pregnancy, pregnant or nursing. Always consult your physician prior to starting a new supplement, diet and exercise regime. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

BCAA VMINO Science
What Does the Latest Research Tell Us?
What are BCAA’S?
Though there are hundreds of known amino acids, we know 22 of them build proteins in the body, and 20 of them are encoded in our genes. Nine of these amino acids are essential, meaning we must consume them, because our body cannot create them on its own.
All of the amino acids play important functions in cellular metabolism, enzymatic processes, hormone production, and tissue function. Three of the essential amino acids are further sub-classified by their chemical structure. You may have guessed it, we refer to these three as the Branched Chain Amino Acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. They are chemically characterized by having an aliphatic side chain (branched chain) off the main amino structure.
Leucine, isoleucine and valine make up 35% of the protein in muscle. As essential amino acids, they must be consumed in adequate amounts. The BCAA’s play critical functions in fat metabolism, immune function, neurologic function, and muscle protein synthesis.
The Effects of BCAA Supplementation
BCAA’s trigger muscle protein synthesis via mTOR (the mammalian target of rapamycin) switch activation. The ideal supplement timing for BCAA’s is prior to intense exercise. Studies also show that consuming BCAA’s during exercise is beneficial for aiding muscle protein synthesis.
BCAA’s maintain lean muscle tissue and decrease their breakdown. Exercise produces the catabolism of muscle branched chain amino acids by activating the branched chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex. Supplementation with BCAA’s decreases this effect. As a result, BCAA supplementation decreases the delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and exercise induced muscle damage (EIMD) that results from intense exercise. DOMS produces a decrease in exercise performance and is best minimized.
Branched chain amino acids have additional effects on the muscle building process. BCAA supplementation helps maintain the insulin dependent, anabolic state. Further, BCAA’s help maintain mass and increase strength during hypocaloric diets (fat cutting).
Studied athletes demonstrate a reduction in fatigue and the reduction in perceived exertion during exercise when supplementing with BCAA. This improves exercise performance and athletic concentration.
Endurance athletes competing in running, cycling, rowing and triathlon perform better with pre-exercise BCAA consumption. They decrease the athlete’s muscle damage, perceived exertion, soreness, and central nervous system fatigue. The endurance athlete’s anabolic signaling, immune response and overall recovery are improved with BCAA’s.
Beside the BCAA effect on lean muscle, BCAA may support loss of body fat via oxidation. People who take branched chain amino acids routinely tend to have less body fat, more lean muscle and thus better body composition.
Branched chain amino acids have a positive effect on the Testosterone to Cortisol ratio in athletes performing high intensity exercise. HIIT can dramatically increase stress based cortisol levels that are catabolic and lead to immune and musculoskeletal breakdown.
The Proven 2:1:1 Ratio
Research shows that adequate doses of leucine alone increases muscle protein synthesis by as much as 145%. Adding the other two branched chain amino’s, isoleucine and valine magnifies this effect as they seem to function as cofactors.
The vast majority of studies support an ideal ratio of 2:1:1 in the dosing of leucine, isoleucine and valine. This means for every two grams of leucine that is given, one gram of isoleucine and valine is given. Many studies site the ideal dose of leucine at 3-4 grams. Most indicate that the total daily dosing of BCAA supplementation should be in the 14-20 gram range.
