BCAA's

Branch Chain Amino Acid's (BCAA's) refers to three amino acids; leucine, isoleucine and valine. These are essential amino acids, meaning they can not be produced by your body and must be ingested.

Supplementing with BCAA's can help promote muscle growth and decrease fatigue during training. Each amino acid found in BCAA's has its own benefits as well:

• Leucine is known for its main benefit of building muscle. Leucine activates a protein called mTOR which induces muscle protein protein synthesis.
• Isoleucine significantly increases glucose uptake during exercise, this is a powerful combination when combined with carbohydrates.
• Valine helps prevent muscle breakdown and supporting the nervous system and cognitive function.

Motion has a BCAA ratio of 2:1:1 (leucine:isoleucine:valine) which has been shown to be most effective in increasing performance benefits

Lactate

Athletes have been told for decades that lactic acid is the enemy. Modern science has shown that is the complete opposite of the truth, lactic acid is not a waste product as a result of exercise, it is fuel for muscles. Lactate (lactic acid) is now recognized as a key fuel source for your muscles during strenuous exercise.

When you exercise muscles start to produce more lactate than they can consume. This process continues until the lactate levels rise in your blood to a level that signals your muscles to stop producing it. This can quickly throw off the pH in your muscles (acidosis), causing the burning sensation we all know.

By supplementing with lactate, you switch your body from lactate production to lactate consumption - as well as provide additional fuel for your muscles.
