What are BCAAs?
BCAAs stand for Branched Chain Amino Acid supplements and are the building blocks for protein as they help stimulate protein synthesis and not only do they increase the rate of protein synthesis but they also increase the cell’s capacity for protein synthesis. One way the body satisfies its energy needs if you’re low on fuel is by turning to muscle as this burns more easily than fat. So whether you have body fat or not, the chances are of your body is hungry and needs energy it will use your muscles as an energy source, leading to muscle loss.
BCAAs help prevent this muscle loss by increasing the rate of protein synthesis compared with the rate of protein breakdown, contributing to muscle gain.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard BCAA Train + Sustain has 5g of BCAAs per serving.
