Amino Acid - L-Valine
L-Valine is one of three BCAA's - the other two being L-Isoleucine and L-Leucine. Together they form the largest amino section of human protein (NOTE: About 33% of MUSCLE protein!) and are therefore vitally important for muscle repair. BCAA's are often sold in supplement form together and usually in a ratio of 2:2:1 Leucine:Valine:Isoleucine - for example: L-Leucine 500mg, L-Valine 500mg, L-Isoleucine 250mg - although some supplement manufacturers choose to have a greater ratio of L-Leucine.
Contraindications: Hallucination, Kidney & Liver Illnesses, Skin Irriations.
