Vetsense BCAA Paste

BCAA – Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplement

A concentrated source of the three essential Branched Chain Amino Acids – Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine – with supporting cofactors for performance, muscle recovery and protein synthesis in horses and dogs.

This specialised BCAA supplement provides the essential amino acids Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, together with nutritional cofactors to support normal energy metabolism, muscle function and protein synthesis.

Designed particularly for performance horses and active or working dogs, BCAA supplementation can provide valuable nutritional support following strenuous exercise when demands on muscle metabolism and recovery are increased.

What Are BCAAs?

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids:

• Leucine
• Isoleucine
• Valine

Because these amino acids cannot be synthesised in sufficient quantities by the body, they must be obtained through the diet.

BCAAs are particularly important for muscle protein metabolism and play a role in maintaining, repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue.

Supports Muscle Recovery

Strenuous exercise increases the metabolic demands placed on working muscles and can alter circulating amino-acid availability.

Providing BCAAs around the recovery period supplies readily available essential amino acids that can be utilised during normal muscle protein synthesis and post-exercise recovery.

This makes BCAA supplementation particularly useful for animals undergoing demanding training, racing, competition or regular strenuous exercise.

Post-Exercise Nutritional Support

When used according to manufacturer directions, BCAAs may be particularly beneficial when provided soon after strenuous exercise, when the body is beginning the recovery and repair process.

Providing essential amino acids during this period helps ensure the nutritional building blocks required for normal muscle repair and protein synthesis are readily available.

Supporting Performance & Recovery

A correctly balanced supply of protein and essential amino acids is important for maintaining muscle condition in performance animals.

BCAA supplementation provides Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine to support normal protein synthesis, muscle function and recovery following demanding exercise in horses and dogs.

BCAA supplementation should form part of a balanced diet containing adequate high-quality protein and energy. Persistent muscle soreness, weakness, poor recovery or reduced performance should be investigated by a veterinarian.
