Y BCAA? – Branched-chain amino acids support recovery

Why BCAAs are important in supplementation? Because BCAA Blends are great for anyone who works out in the gym every day and wants to preserve lean muscle while preventing catabolism. Did you hear that guys? This is one thing that is surely needed during our workout days!

Protein is necessary to repair and rebuild your muscle tissue after your workout is complete. These proteins will then be broken down and disassembled into amino acids. There are 22 different amino acids in the body, all of which have a unique function.
There are nine essential amino acids that the body cannot manufacture itself and consumed through food or supplement form. Of those nine, L-Leucine, L-IsoLeucine, and L-Valine play a critical role in muscle development because they are metabolized in the muscle rather than the liver.

BCAAs are absorbed directly into the muscle tissues and are metabolized quickly. Because of this, BCAAs commonly support:

  • Strength and power
  • Quick recovery after workout sessions
  • Muscle building potential
  • Energy levels

We are using the BCAA 6000 from Gaspari Nutrition, which contains the 3 most important essential amino acids the L-Leucine, L-IsoLeucine, and L-Valine plus Vitamin B-6 and Vitamin B-12 to further maximize your training while simultaneously supporting recovery. We usually take 4 tabs right after the workout and 2 tabs before bed.
