Leucine, isoleucine and valine, the branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), make up about one-third of muscle protein. Few amino acids can be as important as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). Over the years, the BCAAs have been studied extensively for anti-catabolic and other properties. BCAAs can help prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss. During intense training or strict dieting, muscle loss becomes a real issue. That's when BCAAs supplementation can be helpful. BCAAs has also been shown to prevent the reduction of glutamine level in blood after long intensive training. BCAA supplementation can also reduce the brain uptake of another amino acid, Trytophan to combat the feeling of neurogical fatigue. BCAA is absolutely critical during certain periods of particularly intense dieting or training (i.e., when caloric intake is negative), During this time, there BCAA can help to 'spare' muscle loss because BCAAs can actually be oxidized for energy during a calorie-deficit diet. Some studies have actually examined the role BCAAs play during weight loss. In one study, elite athletes on a diet supplemented with BCAAs. The BCAA group showed the most weight loss and reduction in bodyfat percentages. Most research shows that taking 8-10g of BCAAs pre-exercise give results. Scientific References 1.
