BCAA 2:1:1 PepForm® Peptides – Amino Acids Bound to Whey Peptides for Enhanced Absorption

BCAA 2:1:1 PepForm® Peptides deliver 3900 mg of PepForm® peptides with branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) in peptide form in a daily dose of six capsules. They contain leucine, isoleucine, and valine in a ratio of 2:1:1, meaning double the amount of leucine compared to the other two amino acids. Leucine, in particular, has the greatest potential of the trio in the context of muscle growth.³

Peptide Form Instead of Free Amino Acids

The PepForm® peptide form means that the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine are bound to short peptides isolated from hydrolyzed whey isolate, rather than being administered freely. The free form is less soluble and bitter, whereas the peptide form dissolves and absorbs better. Short peptides (di- and tripeptides) have their own PepT1 transport system in the small intestine, separate from free amino acid carriers, and are therefore absorbed more efficiently.^1,2 Free amino acids, on the other hand, compete for their carriers, which slows down their absorption.²

Leucine and the mTOR Pathway

Leucine acts as a trigger for the mTOR signaling pathway, which initiates muscle protein synthesis.^3,4 Among all amino acids, it holds the strongest position in this regard, which is why the 2:1:1 ratio with double the leucine in BCAA is advantageous.

Verified Raw Material

Each batch is tested for microbiological purity and heavy metal content, and production takes place in the EU according to ISO 9001, GMP, and HACCP standards. Additionally, PepForm® peptides contain over 93% protein, all three amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are produced by fermentation, and the raw material is GMO-free, non-irradiated, and free of residual solvents.

Why Take BCAA 2:1:1 PepForm® Peptides

• You train for strength: BCAA are the most popular group of amino acids among athletes, and leucine is the most studied in relation to muscle mass.³
• You train for endurance: During prolonged exertion, the body can utilize BCAA in the muscle as an energy source. Research also examines their role in relation to fatigue during endurance performance.⁵
• You want quality, not just quantity: The PepForm® peptide form is absorbed more effectively than free amino acids from cheaper supplements.¹
• You value convenience: Capsules avoid the bitter taste of free BCAA, which can be unpleasant for many people in powder form.

How to Take BCAA 2:1:1 PepForm® Peptides

Take 6 capsules daily with a sufficient amount of water. It is ideal to split the dose around your workout, either before or after.
