Is this a pure BCAA product ?
No, MBB contains BCAA but also all the other essential amino acids. BCAAs alone are not a complete protein source and are waste of money.
You claim that BCAA alone do not work, why so?
Proteins are the only food source that deliver Nitrogen to our body and are needed for muscle maintenance and many other functions. They are made up from 20 different amino-acids, of which 9 are essential, meaning our body cannot make them. Unlike glycogen or fat, proteins are not stored as a reserve in our body. This means that a continuous supply from food is required to maintain or repair a muscle. If only 1 of the 9 essential amino-acids is missing, the body has no other choice than to break down muscle elsewhere to obtain the necessary building blocks. BCAAs are not a complete protein source because they contain only 3 of the 9 essential amino acids.
Therefore, supplementing with only BCAA cannot support muscle protein and will result in muscle catabolism (muscle loss). BCAAs need to be consumed with the other 6 essential amino acids to make a complete protein.
Should I choose amino acids instead of protein powder?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are essential for the body to function properly. Amino acids are superior to proteins because they are much easier to digest than proteins. It has been demonstrated that amino acid supplements enhance the basal rate of muscle protein turnovers, meaning that more energy is required to fuel the increased protein turnover, providing your metabolism with a long-lasting “boost” from which both weight loss and muscle building will benefit.
Protein powder needs to be converted to amino acids before the body can use them. It also takes 3-4 hours to do so, and a big part of the content is lost in the process. Many people also get bloated from protein powder and also contains calories and sometime carbs.
Amino acids of the other hand are ready to be used by your cells and are effective within 20 minutes from you take it.
What do you mean with 2:1:1 ratio?
The ratio between the 3 amino acids is indicated with three numbers, where the first number refers to Leucine, the second to Isoleucine and the third to Valine. BCAA 2:1:1 therefore means that the powder contains 2 parts of Leucine for every part of Isoleucine and Valine. The proportion of 2:1:1 is the most similar to the natural presence of these 3 amino acids in muscle tissue, which is why it is most efficient.
Why do you include Collagen II. That is a very expensive ingredient?
The body produces several types of collagen, but most of the collagen on the market as a food supplement is sold in a form called “hydrolyzed” collagen, which means the molecule is cut up into very tiny pieces. Then there is more advanced “Undenatured Collagen II” which is extracted with a very expensive technique to keep the molecule intact in their natural form, so it maintains its biological activity, which is the only really effective type of collagen.
Collagen is necessary to form a solid matrix for tissues like muscle, cartilage, and skin. In sports, it is especially important to keep a high level of collagen to prevent muscle or joint damage.
Why do you include Creatine and MSN?
MBB is a product is made for athletes or people that are serios in their workout and fitness. That why we have included additional key ingredients that athlets need to gain muscles and reduce the risk of injuries.
Creatine monohydrate is a very popular supplement among bodybuilders. It increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the most basic form of energy. ATP increases muscle performance in short-duration and high-intensity resistance exercises.
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural source of sulphur, which plays a role in many of the body’s processes. MSM is an anti-inflammatory agent that offers relief to people with arthritis and other types of inflammatory, muscle, or joint pain.
Do I need to take additional Creatine, Collagen og C-Vitamin?
MBB covers exactly the daily dose you need from Creatine, Collagen and C-vitamin. There is no need for higher doses. We recommend you supply with multivitamins (link FD) to get your additional vitamins in additin to a healthy diet.
Do you have any comparison to other BCAA products on the market?
