[RC] FW: BC2A/L-carnitine -part 1 and a half - sherman

BCAA has a double-edged effect.

1. The amino acids in BC2A are used by muscle fibres as energy through oxidative pathways for sprint work. Administration of BC2A prior to fast work increases the pool of non-carbohydrate energy, which generally becomes limiting after 1200m. It is, therefore useful as an energy source.
