Branched chain amino acids may be the most important amino acids for exercise and recovery as they work directly into the muscle to regulate protein synthesis at the genetic level.
BCAA can also increase nitrogen retention and can be used as an energy source to fuel exercise. It provides dual benefits since BCAA can be used to build protein or broken down muscle to provide a direct source of energy.
BCAA hold nitrogen muscles for a variety of metabolic functions, which can be especially important during heavy training. Use: Taken before and after exercise or competition.
