Build Awesome Muscles with Branched Chain Amino Acids. What are Branched Chain Amino Acids? Branched Chain Amino Acids, also known as BCAAs, is a group of 3 specific amino acids. BCAAs can promote the production of muscle protein, help increase muscle mass, minimize muscle loss, and prevent fatigue, allowing you to have a much harder workout. BCAAs are essential nutrients which are obtained from the food we eat, especially meat, dairy products and legumes. The name Branched Chain actually refers

Tissue In humans, there are four basic types of tissue: Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nervous tissue Epithelial tissue Epithelial tissue & subtypes The epithelial tissue covers inner and outer layer/surface of the body, e.g. the stomach, or blood lines, vessels and the lung. The epithelium consists of closely packed, flattened cells that make up the inside/ outside lining of body areas. Epithelial tissues that cover/line surfaces are classified by cell shape and by the number of cell layers

Statins are drugs used in the treatment of many diseases including hypercholesterolemia, ischemic heart disease (angina, chronic heart disease and myocardial infarction), cerebrovascular accidents and peripheral arterial disease. Adults with a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or those with a 10-year risk of developing CVD should start statin therapy as a prophylactic measure.

Skeletal muscle This is the muscle which covers the bones. Human body contains over 400 skeletal muscles. 40-50% of total body weight. It is soft muscle. Most are attached by tendons to bones. It is attached to skeleton by strong and directly connected to rough patches of bones. Muscles are striated and have visible banding. It works voluntary. Some skeletal muscles in face are directly attached to skin this helps in facial expression. Contraction helps in pulling the tendons on the bones that causes
