Worried about muscle loss and break? BCAA is for you!

Hi Guys, after creatine and L-glutamine, this topic is on BCAA.

What is BCAA?
It's a combination of amino acids in the ratio 2:1:1, abbreviated Branched Chain Amino Acids. Three types of amino acids make it to BCAA - Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. Each serving of 5mg contains 2.5gm of Leucine, 1.25gm isoleucine and 1.25gm valine.

Why is BCAA used?
Its very simple, when ever the muscle or protein breakdown occurs, repair and recovery is most important and none other BCAA does it better. These amino acids play a vital role in protein synthesis, in other words, building muscle.

How does it work?
When the body is in catabolic state, body will use fat and muscle tissues as source of energy. This results in muscle loss. Ideally, muscle building must be higher than that of muscle loss. BCAA increases the rate of protein synthesis (muscle building) and helps in repairing muscle break which takes place diuring intensive workout routines.



Now, let's see how BCAA helps athletes and builders. I'm sure until now, you'd have understood it supports muscle building, but there are other benefits of it as well. It helps boost energy levels, reduce tiredness while during a routine and adds to gain of electrolytes.

The below chart will give you a better understanding of its benefits when consumed at different times of the day
