What are BCAAs? Why should you take them? Can't you just drink a protein shake?

• BCAAs contain 3 major amino acids (leucine, valine, isoleucine) involved in activating muscle protein synthesis.
• BCAAs provide maximal benefits for muscle protein synthesis with minimal caloric load. In other words, BCAAs will not break your fast.
• You would have to eat more than 500 calories of whey or meat to get an equivalent amount of BCAAs into your circulation.
• According to Martin Berkhan, regular feedings of BCAAs in the fasted state both pre and post workout ensure that:
  o       Muscle protein synthesis is stimulated and protein breakdown is inhibited. 
  o       Appetite is suppressed and insulin sensitivity is maintained.
  o    Maximal benefits for muscle protein synthesis are achieved with minimal caloric load.(Reference)

Branched-chain amino acids are essential nutrients that the body obtains from proteins found in food, especially meat, dairy products, and legumes. They include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. “Branched-chain” refers to the chemical structure of these amino acids. People use branched-chain amino acids for medicine.

Branched-chain amino acids are used to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig's disease), brain conditions due to liver disease (chronic hepatic encephalopathy, latent hepatic encephalopathy), a movement disorder called tardive dyskinesia, a genetic disease called McArdle's disease, a disease called spinocerebellar degeneration, and poor appetite in elderly kidney failure patients andcancer patients. Branched-chain amino acids are also used to help slow muscle wasting in people who are confined to bed.

Some people use branched-chain amino acids to prevent fatigue and improve concentration.

Athletes use branched-chain amino acids to improve exercise performance and reduce protein and muscle breakdown during intense exercise.

Healthcare providers give branched-chain amino acids intravenously (by IV) for sudden brain swelling due to liver disease (acute hepatic encephalopathy) and also when the body has been under extreme stress, for example after serious injury or widespread infection.

How does it work?

Branched-chain amino acids stimulate the building of protein in muscle and possibly reduce muscle breakdown. Branched-chain amino acids seem to prevent faulty message transmission in the brain cells of people with advanced liver disease, mania, tardive dyskinesia, and anorexia.

MY TAKE:

I take 4 before my workout like 20 minutes. I workout 2x a day. A HIIT or Tabata in the morning and than later in the afternoon I take 4 more before my workout with weights at the gym. This is what best works for me. My off days I still take them but only 4 in the middle of the day. I like to keep my muscle especially doing sprints when I do them. BCAA's are a big part of my training and when I am fasting they are a must!! I do not want to lose any muscle. Especially that I am getting older. I wish there was less to take. But it is a big bottle. And all depends on your weight . My husband has to take like 6 each time. There is no other way but to drink them and all the ones i have consumed are HORRIBLE. And the chewables I would have to chew 5-6 which are rough. I personally am better at taking pills. The price for such a great big bottle is well worth it. And no added fillers. When it comes to supplements in the fitness industry All most all have them. I call it "fairy dust" or saw dust. Which you really don't need. This is a great brand.
