Product Description

Valine is one of the twenty amino acids that comprise the core of protein molecules. It is an essential amino acid, hence it cannot be synthesized by the body and must be consumed in the diet. It holds domain in many physiological functions, most importantly in protein synthesis and muscle metabolism. Valine is one of the amino acid molecules from the group of the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) including leucine and isoleucine. They make up about one-third of all amino acids in muscle tissue.
Besides its core function, which is protein synthesis, valine is involved in processes of energy production and tissue repair. This serves as a source of energy for prolonged exercise time and when significant metabolic stress is present, gluconeogenesis is utilized in the liver by means of converting it to glucose. Moreover, valine is a necessary amino acid for keeping nitrogen balance maintained and for supporting the proper immune functionality.
Meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, nuts, seeds, and legumes are dietary sources that are rich in this amino acid. Supplementation with valine is also popular for athletes as well as individuals aiming for muscle mass increase, recovery, and overall athletic performance.
