BCAA (BRANCHED CHAIN AMINO ACIDS) (3 essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, valine) found in eggs, meat and dairy are beneficial for increased muscle growth and to prevent muscle wasting. This is important because muscles burn a lot more energy than other tissues.
PAPAIN is a digestive enzyme which facilitates the digestion of dietary proteins. It is also an anti-oxidant which helps to break down and replace damaged proteins (including collagen & muscle)
CO-ENZYME Q10 is an important factor in the process of converting Carbohydrates into energy. It may also increase the oxygen supply to mitochondria, which would aid in optimizing the ‘burning’ reaction.
