L-Valine

L-Valine is an amino acid and is not only an essential amino acid but is also a branched-chain amino acid found in high concentration in the muscles. The other two essential BCAA's are L-Valine and L-Isoleucine.

L-Valine can not be made by the body, and must be acquired through food or dietary supplements.

It has a stimulating effect and is needed for muscle metabolism, repair and growth of tissue and maintaining the nitrogen balance in the body.

Since it is a branched-chain amino acid, it can be used as an energy source in the muscles, and in doing so preserves the use of glucose.
