If atoms are the building block of all matter, amino acids are the building blocks of protein. There are 21 different amino acids, and each one is necessary to perform bodily functions as necessary. Some of the amino acids cannot be produced by our bodies, and must be supplemented externally usually via our foods. These are what is known as essential amino acids, or EAAs. 3 of these essential amino acids are further sub-categorized into what is know as Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs and include leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAAs are not metabolised in the liver as all the other amino acids, but rather in the skeletal muscle tissues. Along with this comes a range of benefits, which is taken advantage of by athletes, sport fitness individuals and others requiring BCAA supplementation.
BCAA is scientifically proven to offer a range of benefits regarding physical performance, and is often used by endurance/workout athletes. BCAAs are used firstly to boost muscle protein synthesis through leucine. This increased protein synthesis promotes more muscle growth and development, while protects against catabolism (muscle wastage) at the same time. BCAAs are also helpful for extending the endurance levels, acting as a potential fuel source during exercise as well as interfering tryptophan transportation into the brain, reducing serotonin levels and reduce fatigue.
Branched Chain Amino Acids are usually supplemented as a blend, usually in fruity flavours. It is the cordial like drink which is often ingested at gyms during a workout session. Usage of Branched Chain Amino Acids will not only help with specific exercise regimes, but will also ensure the body has an abundant supply of these essential amino acids so as to be able to carry out its necessary functions. With no setbacks, warnings or side-effects, BCAAs is a great product and a recommended supplement for everybody.
