BIOGENA SPORTS - BCAA 500
Proteins support muscle building
Regular physical activity and a balanced diet are essential cornerstones for building and maintaining muscle mass. Providing growth stimuli through sport during competition or training phases leads to an increase in the muscle cross-section (muscle hypertrophy), which is characterised by a growth in the thickness of the muscle fibres while the number of muscle fibres remains constant. Intense physical exertion, such as that experienced by competitive athletes, can even lead to an increase in fibre size (hyperplasia). Proteins play a particularly important role in increasing muscle mass, as the amino acids they contain are the building blocks of muscle.
Leucine, valine and isoleucine belong to the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), whose primary structure distinguishes them from the other amino acids and are also essential amino acids, as they cannot be produced by the body itself and must therefore be supplied through the daily diet. In contrast to other amino acids, which are mostly metabolised in the liver, BCAAs are mainly utilised in the muscles. For this reason, BCAAs support the development and maintenance of muscle mass and provide an additional source of energy during exercise.
BIOGENA SPORTS BCAA 500 contains all three branched-chain amino acids, L-leucine, L-valine and L-isoleucine in pure form and in the proven 2:1:1 ratio, making it an ideal source of amino acids for athletes as a daily food supplement.

100% active ingredients - no hidden additives
At Biogena, we are committed to 100% quality, adhering to the pure substance principle. We guarantee that every one of our micronutrient preparations is pure and free of colourings, preservatives and additives. Thanks to this approach, BIOGENA preparations have a tolerability of 97% and are suitable for 95% of people.
What distinguishes the BIOGENA SPORTS LINE
We have collected a great deal of diagnostic data in professional sport over the last few years through whole blood analyses, gut checks and urine samples. This has enabled us to determine where the exact micronutrient deficiencies lie. We have used this data to develop BIOGENA SPORTS products that are specifically tailored to the needs of athletes.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification. The quality-tested raw materials come from premium brand raw material manufacturers - sourced directly from the world market leaders.
