Ramificati+ is a balanced mixture of branched chain amino acids (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine) with vitamin B6. L-leucine is the main acid involved in controlling protein synthesis, especially in the muscles and skeleton. Branched chain amino acids have important metabolic functions. At a muscular level they have a plastic/structural function regulating protein synthesis in an anti-catabolic and slightly anabolic sense. This effect is partly due to their capacity of modulating the secretion of important hormones. Besides this, at a muscular tissue level, branched chain amino acids are an alternative source of energy to carbohydrates. This energetic function begins with their transamination, and becomes important when the person, after intense and prolonged physical effort, has poor availability of carbohydrates. Transamination, which allows energetic use of the branched chain amino acids, is catalysed by vitamin B6; this is the reason why this vitamin is present in the product formula. A third function of branched chain amino acids is the possibility of reducing the sensation of tiredness in people who are subject to intense and prolonged muscular effort.This effect is due to the chance of modulating the entry of tryptophane from the sanguinary circuit to the brain. At a central level tryptophane is a precursor of serotonin, one of the biogene animas potentially involved in perceiving fatigue. Overall, these physiological aspects of branched chain amino acids suggest their use in sporting circles to support intense muscular effort.

SPORT: if the product is taken before physical effort, it can represent an alternative source of energy if the body requires. It also helps in reducing the sense of fatigue in athletes who are not in perfect condition. If the product is taken after the competition/training, it guarantees better recovery, especially if physical stress has caused deterioration or small traumas at muscle level, as can happen in cross country races or in very intense exercises for the muscular mass.

Dose: dissolve the dose (1.6 g) in a glass of water. Three doses should be taken per day during the period of muscular stress or sports activities.

Warning: In the case of prolonged use, with kidney or liver complaints, or in pregnancy, please consult your Doctor.
