NOCCO’s latest creation is named Ice Soda which it says is inspired by the action-packed world of ice hockey. That makes the release quite fitting for the brand, as it does sponsor a lot of elite hockey players. As for the actual taste of the beverage, it is said to be a combination of classic sugar drinks and fruit soda, but with zero carbs.
NOCCO BCAA is a slightly carbonated drink enriched with BCAA (a complex of branched chain amino acids) and vitamins, all NOCCO products do not contain sugar, preservatives, artificial colors, and the flavors of NOCCO BCAA + (apple and citrus-lilac) additionally contain neither caffeine nor L - carnitine, thanks to which they have no stimulant effect and can also be consumed by people hypersensitive to caffeine or after evening training, when for better recovery it is better to avoid excessive arousal - NOCCO BCAA + involves a double dose of BCAA (5000 mg).
BCAA is the English term Branched Chain Amino Acids denoting a complex of branched chain amino acids. BCAAs are three amino acids: leucine, valine and isoleucine. These are essential amino acids (exogenous) that are not produced by our body and therefore require external supplementation, especially in the context of intensive training and building muscle mass. NOCCO BCAA + drinks contain a total of 5000 mg of BCAA in the proportions 4: 1: 1 3333mg L-Leucine, 833 mg L-isoleucine and 833 mg L-Valine. NOCCO BCAA shortens the period of regeneration after intense physical effort and positively affects the endurance of the body. It contains the optimal proportions of exogenous amino acids, which are extremely important in the case of increased physical activity. They are a preferential source of human energy and the building block of muscle tissue. Branched amino acids reduce the feeling of fatigue after training by reducing the amount of tryptophan in the blood, which leads to a decrease in serotonin (responsible for drowsiness and fatigue) in the brain, which is why they are often consumed in the form of supplements by athletes. BCAAs also have anti-catabolic potential in muscle cells, as they increase energy absorption from adipocytes by the body, reducing the consumption of amino acids to energy processes and positively affect the post-workout regeneration of muscle tissue. The human body uses about 20 amino acids for muscle production. 9 of them are so-called exogenous amino acids, that is, which the body is unable to produce itself and must be supplied 'from the outside', eg through food, liquids. BCAA amino acids belong to this group.
The Swedish NOCCO BCAA + drink contains a complex of branched-chain amino acids BCAA and six different vitamins that affect the reduced fatigue after exercise and help in the regeneration of muscle tissue - one can contains:
NOCCO drinks contain 5 different types of vitamin B: folic acid, niacin, biotin, B6 and B12. Folic acid, niacin. Vitamins B6 and B12 help reduce fatigue and exhaustion. Biotin, niacin, B6 and B12 contribute to the maintenance of normal energy metabolism. In addition, NOCCO BCAA also contains vitamin D, which affects the normal function of the muscles.
