What are BCAAs? Pt. 2
If you’re an athlete or bodybuilder, you may take oral supplements of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) to try to help with recovery from workouts and enhance athletic performance.
Studies suggest that BCAAs may prevent muscle breakdown during exercise. But they are not likely to help with athletic performance.
For the most part, current scientific literature suggests that BCAAs are a waste of your money. Of course, BCAAs are essential to ingest daily, but many protein sources already provide BCAAs. Even better, they also give you the other 6 EAAs that work – synergistically – to help with muscle-building.
