Cortisol is a hormone produced during stressful situations, active physical activity, or during fasting. High cortisol increases adrenaline levels and also makes glucose more available for metabolism – preventing blood sugar from dropping to critical levels.

BCAA is a sports nutrition containing the three most important amino acids for metabolism. The abbreviation BCAA (or BCA) stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids (branched-chain amino acids) and means leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

Essential amino acids are amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from protein foods. Recall that science identifies the 22 most important amino acids, 8 of which are essential – valine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine. For children, arginine is also indispensable.
