About
Facts
- 1 BCAAs make up about 35-40% of all essential amino acids in the body and are primarily metabolized in the muscles rather than the liver, unlike other amino acids.
- 2 BCAAs, particularly valine and isoleucine, may play a role in combating mental fatigue during prolonged or intense exercise. They are thought to compete with tryptophan for entry into the brain, potentially reducing the production of serotonin, which is associated with fatigue.
- 3 The name "carnitine" is derived from the Latin word "carnus," meaning "flesh," as it was first isolated from meat, and the name “citrulline” is derived from the Latin word "citrullus," meaning "watermelon," as watermelon is a natural source of citrulline.
- 4 In addition to promoting nitric oxide production, citrulline aids in removing ammonia from the body. Ammonia is a byproduct of intense exercise and can contribute to fatigue.
- 5 Carnitine is derived from the amino acids lysine and methionine.
