In recent years, branched-chain amino acid supplements have made a comeback in the bodybuilding and fitness communities, and with good reason. There’s more research that supports the use of BCAAs than most other supplements in the market.
Suggested Use: One tablet, taken preferably with water before and/or after training.
Amino acid supplementation could also help you get a more intense workout. Branch-chain amino acids compete with the amino acid tryptophan for entry into the brain, where tryptophan can be converted to the neurotransmitter serotonin.
BCAA supplementation reduces the amount of tryptophan that gets through the blood-brain barrier, allowing better gains from workouts.
BCAA’s trigger muscle protein synthesis and prevent the breakdown of muscles. They also play an important role in muscle and energy productivity and physical endurance during intense exercise. BCAA’s also help to speed up your metabolism, decrease fatigue, and can even improve insulin health.
There may be a reduction in soreness (DOMS) if you take protein or BCAAs before a workout (but not after). If you train fasted, then taking protein soon after you workout can have benefits. There are more benefits if you take protein before than after your workout (which ironically means you are not training fasted).
When your body breaks down or digests proteins, amino acids are what’s left behind. There are nine essential amino acids, which are not made by your body and therefore must be obtained via your diet. Of them, three — leucine, isoleucine and valine — are considered branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) because they have a branched molecular structure.
While most amino acids are broken down in your liver, BCAAs are broken down primarily in your muscle. As such, they’re believed to help improve exercise performance as well as reduce the breakdown of muscle.
“Essential workout companion. Absolutely love this. I take what I need before and after a workout and I definitely feel my energy increase so I can push myself further in my routine!. – DAMIEN K
“Made in USA – Branch chain amino acids or as they are more commonly referred to, BCAAs, are an essential part of any workout routine. They are the basic building blocks needed to refuel the body as it breaks down. That is how lifting, exercise, etc works. – KOK BOON
“Important for muscles – Excellent product. I did not purchase this product to be used as a pre-workout. For years I have used alpha aminos and purchased this for the days I could use a boost. It does just that. – LIANG FU
