Ingredients
BCAA’s
BCAA’s are free form amino acids that prevent post-workout muscle breakdown (1).
They also promote muscle growth after a workout.
The three BCAA’s are leucine, valine and iso-leucine. The most important of these for muscle growth is leucine.
Viper Pure Protein provides you with four times more leucine than valine or iso-leucine.
HMB
HMB is an amino acid that has been shown to help to prevent post workout muscle breakdown (2).
It can also help relieve post workout muscle soreness (3).
Glutamine
Glutamine is an amino acid which transports nitrogen to the muscle cell.
This helps to promote post exercise muscle growth (4).
The effective dose is 5 grams per serving.
Aspartic Acid
Aspartic acid promotes short-term testosterone release in men, creating an anabolic environment (5).
