Description:
L-Alpha-HydroxyIsocaproic Acid, abbreviated as HICA, is a natural metabolite of leucine (A degradation pathway of leucine produces the hydroxy-analog of KIC, and HICA), it can decrease muscle protein breakdown and promote for the protein synthesis, thus supporting for muscle growth.
Benefits of L-Alpha-HydroxyIsocaproic Acid:
Its mechanism of action has been suggested as an independent mTOR signal transducer, which is a “cell-signaler” for muscle protein synthesis. To hard training athletes, HICA can help to support the gains in muscle and strength, promote recovery from workout so that they could train more frequently. Besides, under hard training, it can reduce muscle soreness to release the fatigue.
