Branch-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
Branch-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include the amino acids luecine, isoleucine and valine. These three aminos are essential for muscle growth, and they are an important energy source for muscle during exercise. Leucine is particularly critical, as it has been found to be the key that turns on the process of growth in muscle cells. These BCAAs are used directly by the muscle for fuel during workouts, sparing muscle BCAAs from being broken down as fuel. Additionally, BCAAs inhibit cortisol, which interferes with testosterone’s levels and its anabolic functions in the body.
BCAAs are considered to be the building blocks for muscle growth. They will be found in most all protein formulas, ranging from 2-5g. Dosing ranges from 10-20g. There are a variety of ways that you may supplement with BCAAs such as fruit flavored powder form, flavorless powder, capsules, even in the matrix of many vitamins. I supplement my protein shakes with an additional 5g that comes in a flavorless powdered form manufactured by Optimum Nutrition (ON). I have found ON to offer the best pricing for this supplement.
Consult with your Doctor about the application and usage of this supplement.

Researchers have known about leucine for decades, but exciting new research has shed a new and broader light on this important health-promoting amino acid,:*’*

Leucine is an essential amino acid, which simply means our bodies cannot produce it and we must get it from dietary sources. Leucine is the most abundant of the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) in muscles (the other two are isoleucine and valine). BCAAs make up a high proportion of the amino acids in muscle. They are unique because they are the only amino acids burned by muscles as fuel; thus, both blood and muscle levels of BCAAs decrease after exercise…
