Have you heard people discuss BCAAs and wondered what on earth they are talking about? In this article we hope to clear up a few things from what they to exactly what those ratios mean for you.

What are BCAAs?
Well, firstly BCAAs is short for Branched-Chain Amino Acids and they are made up of the essential amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine. We call them essential amino acids (EAAs) because the body can't produce these acids on their own and this is why BCAA supplementation is so popular. There have been countless scientific studies that have backed up the use of BCAA's an example of which being a study conducted in 1998. The study had two different groups take an endurance cycle ride in the heat. The results from the experiment showed that the Experimental Group (the group that is exposed to the independent variable, in this case the BCAA) cycled 153.1 minutes on average in comparison to the Control Group (the group who will take a placebo as opposed to the actual BCAA) who only cycled 137 minutes on average. This particular experiment shows that BCAAs can be an integral part of your supplement regime if used correctly.

Who Can Take BCAAs?
BCAAs are designed for individuals and athletes who take part in intense physical exercise on a regular basis. Recovery is the number one limiting factor in terms of progress and gains, the better the recovery the better the progress and gains. BCAAs are the perfect addition to your supplement stack for those who want to enhance recovery, whilst also having a tasty, intra-workout drink to sip during their training.

What Can BCAAs Do For You?
There are many benefits to taking BCAAs that even those who don't religiously workout still have a lot to gain from BCAA supplementation. Here’s a few of the main ones:

✔ A trigger for Protein synthesis
✔ An increase in your glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity
✔ Reduce muscle soreness
