BCAA powder

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAA supplements are commonly taken in order to boost muscle growth and enhance exercise performance. They may also help with weight loss and reduce fatigue after exercise.

As for branched-chain amino acids, they promote protein synthesis and also have anti-breakdown effects, which, in general, helps prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss, which is very important for people who are trying to lose fat. The daily caloric intake of people who lose fat is relatively low, and the metabolic rate is slowed down. The rate of protein synthesis in the body is decreased while the rate of protein breakdown is greatly increased, which leads to the increased risk of muscle loss. Therefore, it is very necessary to consume branched-chain amino acids to prevent the occurrence of the above situation. In addition, many studies have shown that branched-chain amino acids are beneficial in reducing muscle soreness, improving fat loss efficiency and alleviating fatigue.

In general, BCAA supplements are mainly divided into two types, one is powder type, the other is tablet type.

Powder BCAA generally contains 2g leucine, 1g isoleucine and 1g valine in one serving, and the ratio may be adjusted to 4:1:1 for some powder BCAA, which needs to be consumed 2 to 4 times a day. Each time, 5g BCAA needs to be thoroughly shaken with about 300ml water for instant drinking.
