OVER 5000mg MEGA POTENCY DOSAGE
- HEALTHY ‘N FIT Correct Proportion BCAA’s are unique and different than those found in a protein product—they are 100% pure pharmaceutical grade Free Form Amino Acids, and have the quickest absorption and fastest delivery of amino acids to muscle target tissue, even more so than Whey protein.
- HEALTHY ‘N FIT was first to introduce groundbreaking technology to take BCAA’s (Branched Chain Amino Acids) to a higher level of efficacy. Before HEALTHY ‘N FIT, typical dosages of BCAA’s were low potency and improperly formulated with the same or equal ratio, containing 500 mg. each of L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine and L-Valine. Today you’ll see many brands boasting of “ratio technology” which we created decades ago. However, other brands can‘t seem to agree on the correct proportion (also known as ratio or profile) of BCAA’s in their product to produce the most effective formulation, and while virtually every brand has a different ratio, each claims that theirs is “the best”.
The scientific literature indicates that BCAA’s can be quite effective, however to produce the highest effectiveness they should be formulated and taken in their correct proportion, also known as ratio or profile. Today, every company’s ads claim that they have the best BCAA’s ratio. Some companies simply try to outdo each other by having higher and higher ratios, 3:1:1, 4:1:1, even 10:1:1 of their L-Leucine potency being higher than the other two amino acids that make up the BCAA’s trio of amino acids (which are L-Isoleucine and L-Valine). As it is in any industry, not every company has the resources, knowledge, and expertise of their industry, and simply copy or try to top what’s popular. As we know, in many cases and in many different industries what is perceived as popular or temporarily popular (usually by expensive fancy marketing or celebrity endorsements) is not always what is best. The correct proportion should not be based on opinion, fancy marketing, hype, or paid drugged-up bodybuilder endorsements, but rather, it should be based on solid science, not pseudo-science or a brand’s “marketing quasi-science” geared to sell their products. To give you a brief background…. Before most sports Nutrition Companies existed, HEALTHY ‘N FIT introduced to the supplement industry, the first BCAA’s ratio technology called Correct Proportion Ratio Technology. Correct Proportion Ratio Technology is based on the advanced methodology of quality and effectiveness for amino acids known as Amino Acids Chemical Score (AACS). AACS is based on the amino acid profile, also known as proportion or ratio, and how it most closely matches that needed by the human body. To determine the best AACS, we looked to the highest quality sources of naturally occurring amino acids – Egg Protein and Whey Protein. These sources have shown to be the most effective sources of naturally occurring amino acids for building muscle mass and strength. The ratio of BCAA’s that we use is based on these sources. Products that are “high ratio”/ “Leucine heavy”, meaning that the L-Leucine has a much higher potency than L-Isoleucine or L-Valine (some ratios are 10:1:1, 4:1:1, 3:1:1), may appear impressive to some, however in reality these ratios upset the natural balance of BCAA’s, and are counterproductive and antagonistic to the product or BCAA’s AACS, hence its effectiveness. Furthering the problem, “high ratio” Leucine and “Leucine heavy” products are also too low in the other two very effective BCAA’s, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine that comprise the BCAA’s trio of amino acids. HEALTHY N’ FIT Correct Proportion BCAA’S are not high ratio Leucine or Leucine heavy, and contain the correct and most effective ratio and potency of L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. BCAA’s in a 2:1:1 ratio are closer to the correct ratio but are still not in the ideal ratio as are HEALTHY N’ FIT Correct Proportion BCAA’S, at a ratio of 1.60:1:25:1- which have the highest AACS of all BCAA’s, and are *Guaranteed to exceed every brand. It may also be interesting to note that L-Isoleucine tends to be the most expensive amino acid and other brands which contain a very high level of the less expensive Leucine may be saving themselves a good deal of money by including such a comparatively small amount of Isoleucine.
