Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) function by increasing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. Athletes and bodybuilders recognize that protein synthesis and nitrogen retention are important functions required for muscle growth, but many don’t realize how these compounds work.

BCAAE2™ turns on the genes necessary for protein synthesis. They work by turning on the main protein synthesis pathway called mTOR. mTOR is a very important biochemical pathway that acts as the main signal to tell your muscle cells to increase protein synthesis. When the mTOR pathway is activated it signals your muscles to enter a muscle-building state. This will allow you to reach your genetic potential and build new slabs of muscle.

BCAAE2™ also increases the release of insulin. These hormones are the main hormones your body uses to crease muscle protein synthesis, and when these hormones are high there is a synergistic effect with sufficient BCAA. Axis Labs® BCAAE2™ will fuel muscle growth like nothing you have experienced before. Supplementing with BCAAE2™ is especially important for people over the age of 40. Research shows that the muscle growth that occurs following a meal high in protein is reduced in aged muscle. 

ANTI-CATABOLIC

The benefits of supplementing with BCAAE2™ aren’t limited to muscle growth, these compounds are hugely anti-catabolic and prevent you from wasting your hard earned muscle. When you exercise strenuously your body is forced to uses glycogen as fuel, when glycogen is used up your body begins to use muscle as fuel. BCAAE2™ are unique in that they are primarily metabolized in the muscle. When metabolized, BCAAE2™ provide the necessary amino acids that your body uses for gluconeogenesis once the glycogen stores have been used up. Taking BCAAE2™ before strenuous exercise will insure that you don’t use your muscles for fuel. Because of their anti-catabolic effect BCAA's may also help during extreme dieting by preventing muscle tissue breakdown. Additionally, BCAAE2™ can aid in recuperation by decreasing lactic acid levels in muscle cells. This is a great benefit, and can an athlete reach new levels of workout intensity. 

BIOAVAILABILITY

The reason that BCAA supplementation has never been extremely popular among athletes is that their benefit is difficult to realize when taken orally. The problem with traditional BCAA's is that there is limited absorption through the digestive tract, this has plagued other BCAA products since they were first released. Regular BCAA's are degraded rapidly, leaving small amounts of the original dose active. Because of the rapid breakdown of BCAA's, their ability to promote muscle growth is limited. The limited potential of BCAA's has historically been a problem, until now.

Axis Labs® BCAAE2™ are an amazing advance in scientific supplement technology, that are much more effective than traditional BCAA supplements. The Ester-Sorb™ technology we use allows the BCAA's to be much more bioavailable. They are not broken down by the body as quickly as normal amino acids and they can enter the blood stream from the GI tract more readily.

The reason BCAAE2™ is much more effective than other BCAA products is because of the ethyl ester added to each BCAA molecule. In fact, BCAAE2™ utilizes the same Ester-Sorb™ ethyl ester delivery technology that makes our NE2™ many times more effective than regular L-Arginine. The ethyl ester makes the BCAA’s less polar and therefore more easily absorbed in the digestive tract. Because of this design, each amino acid can pass through the intestine largely intact. The ethyl ester also protects the BCAA molecules from rapid degradation, making them much more effective in smaller doses than other BCAA products. BCAAE2™ is superior in design to all other current BCAA products on the market, including products containing BCAA metabolites like a-ketoisocaproic acid and after one month of use, you will never train without them again. BCAAE2™ provides a much more effective and efficient way to experience the benefits of BCAA supplementation. If you are ready to take training to the next level and record muscle growth, then you are ready for BCAAE2™.
