Sheer BCAA is a nutritional supplement designed to help physically active individuals to increase their muscle mass and improve their training efficiency by reducing muscle fatigue.

The formula was developed by Sheer Training Labs, a new manufacturer on this ever growing industry.

The company was founded no more than two years ago and has already developed several dietary formulations for the sports nutrition market. However, the information about the company is rather limited at this time. Hopefully they will decide to reveal more data regarding their production processes, origin of the active ingredients, quality standards to which they comply, etc.

Sheer BCAA is composed of three amino acids generically named Branched Chain Amino Acids: L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine. These are well-known chemicals in the bodybuilding industry. Such substances are frequently used by athletes, fitness trainers, and physically active individuals to increase muscle mass and improve or sustain their very demanding routines.
The product is claimed to bring the following benefits to its users: faster muscle growth (due to the BCAAs ability to stimulate protein synthesis), faster recovery time, and increased fat burning rates. The manufacturer promises that if their customers are not satisfied with the results, they will fully refund them as the formula comes with a 100% money-back guarantee.

Synopsis

1) Sheer BCAA at a Glance

Branched chain amino acids are essential nutrients our bodies require to function properly. They can be obtained by consuming appropriate amounts of meat, various vegetables and dairy products. The supplemental form is considered by some more effective because in their natural forms, BCAAs are often bound to other molecules and have to be digested in order to become available for the body.

Leucine, one of the three BCAAs is considered the main amino-acid responsible for muscle growth. Sometimes exercising does in fact lower muscle mass because of the increased protein breakdown that results from intense training. Specialists consider that by using Leucine, the post workout protein balance becomes positive, which means that protein synthesis exceeds protein breakdown, thus allowing the muscle mass to grow.

3) Is Sheer BCAA Right for You?

Branched Chain Amino Acids are very popular in the bodybuilding industry. Many trainers and specialists recommend these substances because they are believed to be more efficient in promoting protein synthesis. These amino-acids also increase the cell’s capacity for protein synthesis, while reducing the rate of protein breakdown. Because of their ability to enhance the body’s capacity to synthesize proteins and reduce their breakthrough, gaining muscle mass becomes a much easier process.

BCAAs are also attributed with the effect of increasing intensity of training. They do that by reducing the levels of another amino-acid (Tryptophan) in the brain. Tryptophan is a predecessor of Serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is responsible for how we perceive fatigue. By preventing Tryptophan to enter the brain, Serotonin levels remain lower, so training can be improved in both intensity and duration.

Branched Chain Amino Acids are available in foods like whey, meat, and vegetables, but some say that in their natural forms they are usually bound to other molecules, so in order for them to become useful, they must be liberated through digestion. Only in that form they will be absorbed into the bloodstream. The supplemental forms already contain the free form BCAAs, which makes them effective shortly after being consumed.

Valine and Isoleucine, two of the three BCAAs act as energy sources as they participate in glucose formation during workouts. Leucine, the third amino acid is considered responsible for the actual muscle growth.

7) How to Use Sheer BCAA

L-Isoleucine has a much lower effect on protein synthesis, but along with Valine they are able to significantly increase glucose uptake and the usage of glucose during physical workout. In other terms, these two other branched chain amino acids can enhance energy levels, thus creating the necessary set for higher intensity exercises and longer durations of training sessions.
