You know that BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) promote muscle growth, recovery and performance, but do you really know how to use BCAAs to maximize your results?
This article explains how and when to use BCAAs to take advantage of all the proven benefits to this powerhouse supplement.
BCAAs are special because they bypass the liver and go straight to muscles where they can be used as fuel to help you perform better and recover faster. If you choose to drink your BCAAs, and we recommend that you do, you'll benefit from the water used to mix them. We also recommend choosing a BCAA supplement that includes added electrolytes to further boost hydration during your most strenuous workouts.
Muscle protein synthesis spikes after a meal, but it subsides around 2 hours later. After Muscle Protein Synthesis subsides there is a large amount of amino acids left unutilized. Supplementing with BCAAs during this time may once again increase muscle protein synthesis utilizing the remaining amino acids from your previous meal.

A meal must contain enough protein (~ 30g) and leucine (~3g) to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Even with the strictest meal prep it's hard to keep up with life and eat to support your goals 100% of the time. If you're facing a meal that you know won't maximize muscle protein synthesis, consider supplementing with BCAAs while you eat to gain the full benefit.
