BCAAs- Worth While?? Breakdown



THE BREAKDOWN


Here is a quick and simple breakdown of BCAAs and they role the play in building muscle and dieting

What are BCAAs?....Branched Chain Amino Acids

Why are they important?....They have a positive effect on the muscle building process and play a key role in keeping muscle mass when dieting, in a caloric deficit.

Science behind it all- greater protein synthesis and decreasing protein breakdown. Vital component is leucine, setups up greater protein synthesis possibilities.

When should I take them?..... Morning/ Night/ Between meals & Pre/Intra/Post workout

Be smart.... BCAAs are found in many different products, you don't necessarily need to consume additional bcaa's on top of certain products you may be using already that contain a sufficient amount of BCAAs.

(Example: night time BCAAs are found in my casein protein, therefore not needed to add additional)
