General information on BCAA
A category of muscle-building supplements that lifters and bodybuilders use to improve their results are branched-chained amino acids (BCAAs), or BCAAs. Of the 20 amino acids that make up protein, just three are referred to as BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These are the specific amino acids that have been shown to stimulate protein synthesis and help regulate protein metabolism.
Benefits of BCAA Supplementation
Increased levels of muscle protein synthesis[18]
Decreased levels of muscle damage during exercise[19,20]
Decreased muscle soreness from exercise[19,20]
Improved endurance during exercise[21,22]
Recommended Dose:
3-6 grams before or during exercise. A ratio of two parts leucine to one part each of isoleucine and valine appears to be most beneficial. As Krissy Kendall, PhD, explains in “The Top 7 Supplements to Boost Endurance Performance,” BCAAs can be just as effective for endurance athletes like runners, rowers, and cyclists as they can be for lifters and bodybuilders.
