L-VALINE
L-valine is an essential amino acid with numerous benefits for muscle growth, energy production, mental health, the immune system and nitrogen balance.
It is important for both dogs that get a lot of exercise and those that get little to get enough L-valine through their diet or supplements to support optimal health and performance. L-valine belongs to the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), along with leucine and isoleucine, and plays an important role in various physiological processes.
Valine is one of three branched-chain proteinogenic amino acids, together with L-isoleucine and L-leucine, also known as BCAAs.
