EXCELLENT.
This HIGH QUALITY CONTENT is why I won’t stop watching this channel.
When I take Beverly BCAA’s I feel more clean energy and better over all. Busy mom and grandma here. I use it as needed and I’m telling you it was a game changer for my chronic fatigue
You should upgrade to e a a's. Branch chain amino acids are significantly inferior compared to essential amino acids. Is bca supplements are incomplete. Check out The brand body health.
So much truth here. Thanks for discussing this.
Amazing knowledge
Thanks!
Thank you guys most informative peace
Definitely needed this video, thank you 🙏🏾
That was a wonderfully concise explanation.
This makes SOOO much sense. I’m a vegetarian and I kept seeing how bad or unnecessary BCAAs were and I was confused cus It’s helped me so much with recovery. I workout 6 days a week and I’m never sore when I drink my BCAAs during my workout. I’m not always consistent with my protein intake so now I understand why it’s been so beneficial for me. Thanks!
Facts!
yep same i noticed taking bcaas they been amazing
Yes! It’s crazy!! I started taking BCAA past 2 weeks, and noticed my body don’t feel beat! And that’s me working out 6 days a week as well
I don't take bcaa & I rarely get sore. Soreness is just lactic acid accumulation. The more & longer you exercise the more your body becomes acclimated to it & you thus become less sore overtime.
Why Bcaa and not Eaa?
Whey protein and BCAA are different. BCAA takes minimal processes of digestion to get absorbed. So it works best when your body needs a bulk of amino acids to maximize the synthesis of protein. You may argue the difference may not be significant. But the mechanism is there. You are free to choose what you believe.
I agree 👍
Well, if u eat protein every 3 hrs u always have AAs in the bloodstream. Protein synthesis from BCAAs?? Not enough come close to steroids.
Eaa makes more sense because you get a complete amino acids.
@@nattyboii4905100%!!
I think which is why I take EAA’s that for older adults who’s ability to synthesis protein is compromised it may not be possible to take in enough protein to work alongside exercise in the fight against sarcopenia, all things that can help should be seriously considered.
Thank you for this Info some days I don’t do well on my protein intake but I’m gonna stop taking bcaas I just came across your channel today and I’m glad I did
Ar
Carbs and fats are protein sparing. Calories, proper training. You do not need 1 freaking supplement. It's a waste of money.
@@jasonneil101 thanks for your input 😁
If you're trying to just preserve muscle I found that casein protein helped a lot. It takes way longer to digest so you can do like casein protein and the day old oats I forget what they called those but that's what I used to do.
@@jasonneil101if you wanna get as strong and/or as muscular as possible protein powder is quite useful ..creatine helps too..there is no such thing as protein sparing ..there are only calories...
@@jasonneil101you should probably get on some supps… string bean
Great video and very informative
I agree with everything said in the video. Only thing i question. Isn’t better to get our protein from multiple sources? As long as you can offered it.
I have stomach issues and this helps me get even more protein in my diet. I can't take a protein powder BEFORE working out or I feel nauseous. I can take regular protein at other times of the day, but BCAAs help me get more protein in my diet without sabotaging my workouts.
For someone with adequate protein intake, I totally understand, but they definitely help me.
Bcaa’s have protein in them?
Someone didn’t listen very well
@@rzfbgjy goober
Folic acid fixes most if not all problems with your stomach and all system
@@jdbrice6425do you know what an amino acid is?
Supposedly BCAA supplements benefit is they are faster bioavailable right when your blood flow to the muscles is at pick -- during workout. Turns out EAA sups already contain all the BCAAs, so looking to see if switching to EAA sups before, during workout will be better.
I think the greatest use of BCAA's is when you're in a calorie deficit and not quite getting enough protein.
I take it daily as well as creatine and a multivitamin to fill in the gaps. I notice a big difference in my recovery, brain fog, hunger, and energy levels.
Calling it a waste is a bit too far but for those who do get enough protein that's fair. If you're in a moderate to large deficit though they're a godsend.
this is the answer i came to the comments for. 🙏
BCAAs for me really just help with the recovery aspect, I take them to help with the muscle soreness combined with ZMA and that works like a charm.
I sometimes just take them for the flavor. I enjoy regular water, but I like to have some taste every now and then.
He shouldn't just say High Protein diet because some people like myself who are vegetarians can eat more protein but the Amino Acid breakdown might not be as high so it still helps to add EAAs when getting enough of the Protein number to get a higher Amino count.
As a plant based athlete BCAA’s are my go to. Without it I get very soar after heavy lifts. On run or hike days I sip on them I don’t burn out so fast. Love them!
As a gymnast I like EAA's for the digestibility and I get some that has electrolytes added in. Makes it easier for me to hydrate during practice where I'm flipping around a ton or doing lots of intense strength positions. Don't want to be sick from eating too much before haha. Plus I'm one of those people that try to maximize protein intake at my body size but find it hard sometimes because of some sources interrupting my sleep or bloating me because of my poor digestion of it. For most people I can see how it's probably a waste of money. Ben Greenfield has also brought up some studies before about sipping EAA's throughout a workout but I'd be curious to know if those in the study were in a calorie deficit/max protein consumption and other factors.
I'm going to give eea's a try for intra, mpmd finally had them in stock, because i'm kinda here with you on this one. I do rings and other body weight movements with statics and I can't eat for like two hours before I exercise. I usually do full body every other day anywhere between 1-1/2 to 2hrs at a clip.
As long as you know you are getting some type of benefits from EAA supplementation , hydration, digestion ect ect, but just know that if you are already eating 0.6 - 1 gram of protein per lb of bodyweight, those extra aminos are literally worthless for the muscle fibers
@@earlcoles5215 it's not worthless, benefits are just very small and that's assuming you don't have a deficit of protein
@@lolerie no disrespect but it may be the fact that you are just one of those individuals that made your self believe that bullsh*t..... supplementation with eaas is unecessary if a serious bodybuilder is eating the right amount of protein from whole foods and protein shakes... if he or she is doing that then his or her body has more than what he needs with bcaas, eaas, L- glutamine ect ect ... you must be a rookie to the game, if not then you should know better
@@earlcoles5215no I agree with what this person is saying. Basically the convenience of an EAA and electrolyte mix for an athlete that may be working out for longer than 90 minutes makes a ton of sense.
Especially if it's a female, since in general they don't ingest as much protein as they need to for muscle gain and adequate recovery.
I know quite a few mixed martial artists that feel way better after using that kind of mix. We make it with various raw powders for cheaper and just put some zero sugar lemonade or orange mix fruit mix of some kind in it.
Keep in mind if the aminos aren't used in the muscles they end up just getting used as fuel for your gut if you're active.
Great explanation 👏🏻👏🏻
went from 125 to 140 in 2-3 years without any supplement other then a protein shake 5 "3" with 7-10% body fat. Nothing beats real food.
Absolutely, if youre reading this you dont need to buy this stuff just eat
I needed this. Thank you!
100%, just like Rich Piana said back in the days. Real food is always better
were u in prison or wha
I do agree with this but Ive been training 6 days a week consistently for years now and have been on a high protein diet the whole time. I also usually take bcaas to help me recover from my workouts, reduce fatigue while working out, etc. I definitely notice the difference in my size, strength and energy when I dont take bcaas from when I do have them. They help me a lot. My suggestion is, find out what works best for YOU. They work for me. I can usually get 2-3 more reps on each exercise when I throw bcaas into the mix.
Facts💯💯💯💯 i agree!
What brands do you recommend?
@@theerealatm I’d say my top 2 favorites are ryse bcaa/eaa and blackstone labs bcaas
Yes and no. Your body isn't doing anything with the aminos that it couldn't do with the protein.
Our bodies aren't different like that, you're just a consumer conditioned to believe what you're spending your money on is better than just getting protein in that window.
There's nothing you get from eaas that you don't get from cottage cheese.
@@theerealatmaminocore
Personally I notice a big difference in my workouts if I don’t sip bcaa’s during my workouts. Especially towards the end of my workouts. I definitely fatigue less towards the end of my workouts if I sip them
EAA is good for VLCD diets, when you really want to keep the calories low and protein as high as possible.
thanks you fpr the information
Can someone please answer the percent of vitamin daily requirement and if it is a scam understand meeting 100% on up to half but a lot of things have 30% in one serving of 1 thing in 2% of another do you think you really have to meet those daily percentages on all vitamins or is it just a giant scam by the food companies
What if I'm getting 0.8g of protein/lbs of bodyweight but not from whey protein which is rich in amino acids but from whole foods? Then should I take BCAAs?
I tried tracking the amino acids and leucine falls short. I barely get around 5g of leucine when 10-15g is recommended for optimal muscle growth
You should watch Peter Attia episode 217 with Mike Joyner. Leucine should be had in good amounts in the morning to stop the night's catabolism, and in the evening to keep body less catabolic during the night's fast. Yes you can eat protein to get enough leucine, which is the signal amino acid that starts the anabolic process. However, I prefer to kick-start anabolism by taking BCAA before a meal, and I really do note an effect. I recommed taking BCAAs at least in the morning, and post-workout. If you want to be hard-core, take with all meals.
Also, why not just leucine? Well, my logic is that when that protein synthesis process kicks in, you have the need for all the aminos, and for a muscle building intention, having the full BCAA stack in the basic ratio 2:1:1 is obvious.
In my opinion, EAAs intra workout have some benefits to it. Since you are actually breaking down muscles during your training, these can help with better recovery. But that's just my opinion. Results might be negligible, but it's still results.I myself on roids, so I think it would be more beneficial for me.
Are you aware of the fact that digestion takes a while ? You can’t anything that fast...
@@sjevernivjetar1945 it's a lot quicker with liquid than solid foods. Heck you don't even have to chew.
You are incredibly stupid!
@@sjevernivjetar1945 The Master amino pattern amino acids are absorbed in 20-30 minutes. 99% absorption.
@@sjevernivjetar1945 That was the whole argument of bcaas, then they said its not complete, hence the eaas, then thats not enough hence protein from food. Its a circular argument
It's a way to get proteins with less calories and increase the percentage of protein that is synthesized per gram. Some even claim it's above the percentage synthesized from egg protein which is known to be one of the highest. At least those are the arguments which you don't seem to directly address here.
So he said that if the protein intake is adequate which is 0.6-1 g per pound of body weight.l, for a 90kg person like me, that woukd be around 100-160 g of protein then bcaa is not required. But then he says that even in one scoop of 15g of whey protein you get enough BCAA in it. How does the both situation compares?
I don't feel it helps me speed up my recovery. I have tried several brands of BCAA and never have I felt that. The only reason I take them is because I exercise very early in the morning and I don't have time to eat anything beforehand. So, I take a scoop of BCAA to help get through my workout, which it does wonderfully. I feel as if I ate something and have more than enough energy
A point was made that If you supplement with protein powder you don’t need bcaas. However, i wonder if the kind of protein you’re having makes a difference in the intake of those Bcaas. For instance, if you take pea protein?! Then again Can look at the formula on the bottle too
I use pea protein
Pea protein is very similar to whey in amino profile.
BCAA surely help me recover from post workout fatigue much better. As I take animal protein I don’t take any whey rather some Bcaa capsules to fight fatigue and recover until next workout. I also add some glutamine to improve it.
I just take [ON] 100% Whey Protein once in the morning (mixed with 5g-creatine) with breakfast and once at night with dinner (or) 1-hr before I go to bed (without creatine).
My daily intake of food is 2,400-calories with 175-protein. with only (3) meals a day and a snack in-between meal. Like 3 Oreo's (or) 3-Chocolate chip cookies.
Snack is just something sweet so I have some kind of change of taste, it can also sometimes be Jello with (1) Mini-Milky-Way, usually at night when I'm chillin watching a movie.
If I miss my protein shake for any reason, that's when I take [ON] Amino-2222. The pill is like a horse pill, I have to crush it and mix it with Milk.
Great content!
So what if a meal or a scoop of protein powder doesn't provide enough leucine to hit that leucine threshold, and decide to add in some BCAA's for that purpose?
I’m vegan so they work for me but it’s also like he said because the flavor just works better with water than most protein works. I’ve been considering trying something different though because it definitely is expensive in comparison
Condolences…
Vegan personal trainer here, i reccomend just overshooting your protein and getting diverse protein sources
As someone who doesn’t drink caffeine (and if I do it decaffeinate - I’m sensitive) BCAAs make a world of a difference on my energy levels. I don’t feel jittery and I feel well recovered. I even notice I’m able to wake up not feeling sluggish in the morning.
Lol😂 that doesn't even begin to make sense. Take casein protein at night you donut
@@greuju?
@@meagainandagain5756 what are you confused on?
@@meagainandagain5756 you got a problem?
This is the exact video I needed 😂
I recently started going to the gym and I supplement with BCAA and isolate whey. My BCAA comes with electrolytes and has a nice taste so I have two scoops (two bottles) per day. I also eat around 200gr of protein. In one week of lifting I already noticed a great recovery and muscle gain! Believe it or not, I have a friend doing it with me and he’s not doing what I’m doing and he’s all sore while my recovery is much faster. I advise anyone here to try, have it post workout with a meal with good complex carbs and some good complete animal source protein and you’ll see results
Could you please share the brand od BCAA you use?
Im gonna start with the bcaa tomorrow .....hopefully i see results with the consistency
you've definitely not seen results in one week. That's placebo. BCAA can help some people, but in one week? nah.
You guys are ridiculous. If you just started it, getting enough protein is all that matters. Eaa is just a tasty drink.
You can use it all the time, but if you just eat protein throughout the day, the results would be exactly the same. Maybe the increased bioavailability helps out, but I'd just use hydrolyzed whey then. Which is nearly as fast, and a complete protein.
Any EAA recommendations for supplementation for a 65-year-old plant-based diet since I am trying to avoid sarcopenia
good stuff brotha
Currently drinking my first EAA shaker rn… as a vegan, post workout.
Probably suffering from IBS.
Will update
How did it go?
yeah but i bought one with both because it has electrolytes to hydrate myself because im' trying to keep from cramping up from the lack of nutrition i've had. IS it still worth it if thats my reason?
They taste good and the one I buy is $15 for 30 servings. I feel like bcaa’s help me retain muscle. Maybe it’s just a placebo, but to me it’s not that expensive and it beats drinking plain water while workin out.
EAA's can benefit people on a low protien diet, who are in CKD (Chronic Kidney Failure), because EAA's are already broken down so the kidney doesn't have to process the acids like eating animal or plant protein's
What about the elderly who do eat protein? Is it beneficial?
Thank you this saved me money!!!!!
Awesome 👏🏼
Does it depend on what kind of protein you are getting? If you get it from beef vs chicken vs pork vs supplements? I mostly eat pork because of the potassium but I'm not sure the difference in protein profiles.
Always helped me with recovery
EAA supplements aren’t just for protein though, this guy is missing that sometimes they have pink Himalayan salt in them for electrolytes throughout your workout because that’s when most people take their eaa’s and protein powders mess with your stomach a lot more mid workout. EAA supplements can also have potassium to keep your muscles from cramping during the workout and magnesium and other ingredients so it’s not just to get in the protein you need, it’s to help you sustain your energy longer during your workout and recover faster.
Pink Himalayan salt is a waste of money just use salt. Trace amounts of the extra blah blah blah is a selling feature
I read EAAs will have you absorb 99 percent of the protein whereas protein from food or powders are half to a 3rd of that. You also get the protein without the calories or spiking insulin. What about that?
There are studies showing increased protein synthesis after taking EAAs. This makes sense because you don't just need amino acids to build protein; you need specific ratios of amino acids. Protein has a recipe, and if you are left with excess amino acids those just get burned. EAAs can fill in gaps, let you complete a few more of those ratio sets.
For building muscle this may just have a small effect, but for recovery and for recycling older damaged proteins for new ones (a process that increases with protein intake) having EAAs is beneficial... for me, anyway. And that's really what it comes down to: if you can feel a noticeable benefit then it is worth it.
Yes, DeLauer says 4x the protein synthesis with EAAs added.
What’s a great brand?
@@lancer717 TC Nutrients
Yes,you are right,some proteins will wait,into the cels for the aminos,to link to them,then will build those comlete bloks of the protein.Analogy:the sand will ask for the cement to bond togeter then it results the concrete.👍🤚😃 hallo from Romania!
For oceanauge
What about how they help with CNS fatigue when heavy lifting?
Hi, here is why want to try taking bcaas, so 1 it doesn’t break fasting state, I am not doing any fasting but if I eat before workout I feel way less energy, so I was thinking thay I should take bcaa on my way to the gym, then post workout I’d take my whey protein+creatine+b complex + vitamina D. what do you all think ? does this make sense ?
Thanks! I'll just have my protein shake 💪
Nicely put
Is the protein relevant or can i use that as a vegan because before my training break i ate meat but now im vegan but wannt to get back to training. But im concerned my muscle memory wont work without the meat but its dumb actually
I'm training fasted and sometimes go on fasting for quite a while after training. That's where EAAs come in handy. I can take it before and after training and don't feel like I've consumed food that needs to be digested.
How about consuming BCAA's before a workout when you do your workout in a fasted state?
i tried an EAA supplement and it’s about to run out and honestly it doesn’t do much for me not even recovery will not be buying again honestly
Just saved me some money. Nice explanation
Protein powder prices have sky rocketed. I wonder if the cost comparison is still the same
this guy spitting truth
That’s only 1.5g of aminos. You would typically take at least 5-15g.
Oh "just take protein" that's illuminating
Anybody have tips for people with ibs i cant use protein powder as it leaves my stomach a mess i have to get it all in through foods , but i was advised to start taking bcaas anybody have stomach problems with them? Or anybody any tips on getting more protein in without using protein shakes?
Well, sir, I should have seen this video before I bought a kilogram of it. Thanks!
I just like the bcaa with caffeine and I only take it for my 5am workouts. Keeps me pumped up and I think it's worth it. I have a full day everyday and this keeps me going energy wise. But this was still good info
Any suggestions for energy other than coffee and carbs?
a lot of it depends on preference and what works for you. 'when do you feel most rested and energized' is a good question to ask. is it a certain time in a day, is it when you have a good amount and quality of sleep, and does it also include what you ate, and when you ate it. you would have to play around with your own variables to find what is fitting for you. there are good guides to help with finding optimal strategies for that, whether it is sleep, food, or the timing of it all. if the 5am workouts are ideal for your schedule, and you need a way to find that energy in that moment, I would suggest finding a good stimulant pre-workout. I would check out Gorilla Mode Stim Energy Pre-Workout. the guy who sells it does a full product breakdown on UA-cam. it's titled "Gorilla Mode "Stim" Energy Formula | Full Product Breakdown" but first go through your own personal variables for optimizing your own energy levels for a good workout
Honestly y’all, figure out what works for you by paying attention to how you feel in the gym. For my body, I take pill BCAA’s in the morning with powder form G-Fuel 😂 the BCAA’s give me a type of fuel for my body to use while lifting, sorta like eating a quick meal so my stomach isn’t on empty nor my muscles and the g fuel gives me focus with no crash.
No one’s recommended this to me it just works, especially for sustainment in the gym and recovery after
The dosages you get with powders is quite high though, Like what, 3-5 Grams a scoop ?
I can feel a difference off the big bottle of capsules from Nutricost :)
I only take half a dose per meal though cuz it makes me feel thirstier if I take the full two caps for some reason...
This video did not age well. It's very outdated and newer.Studies show that essential amino acid supplements are highly affected for everybody, Especially athletic individuals who already consume a high protein diet. E a a's are very important for someone who wants to incorporate calorie restriction as well.
Could you refer to an updated video from any youtuber or the actual study itself?
Different protein sources have different amino acid profiles. That being said I can't imagine they "do nothing" just because you eat a lot of a single type of protein. Perhaps if you eat a lot of a variety of proteins, then maybe they "do nothing."
I mean $19 a month and I put the recommended serving into a gallon jug and it helps me stay hydrated that way
I'm on a high calorie diet (3500). So I am eating lots of peanut butter, almonds and bread which consist of incomplete proteins. Ever since I started taking Amino Stack supplements, my gains started going through the roof.
Is seems this argument ignores the complete protein need and how not all proteins have enough of all 9 to be absorbed. Supplements help can help add some of the 9 that compete other chains. It makes what you are eating more bio available.
For a 49yr old woman that does not take in the adequate amount of protein and works out during their fasting period which Amino Acids is best to take? BCAA or EAA or BOTH??
Don't waste your time or money on BC.A.A only by essential mean our acids e a a's. Body health is a very high quality brand.
just what i thought. thanks for clearing it out.
At least on myself notice after workout a punch of help in recovery. It's been the best recovery product ever in my life.
I don't like protein powder because of the high cholesterol in them. I am also new to weight lifting and I have not been consistent with nutrition. I am on call and sometimes work comes up and I can prepare food for the day or I stay later and have to get food that is near a job site.
WTH are talking aobut ???
There's not that much Cholesterol in Whey O_0
I love Cholesterol !
EVERY cell of your body's built from it &It's ESSENTIAL for hormone production.
You best get MORE of that in yer diet sir :)
Wow. As a person who worked as a trainer 30 years ago and has been amazed at the BS in the industry, I’m impressed these guys are using basic sense and not schilling.
Appreciate that!
I just use them specifically for hydration purposes. Essentially to make sure I’m getting my two gallons of water in per day.
And intraworkout with Vitargo carbs for long ass workouts
damn, 2 gallons? ive heard that your body weight in ounces is a good measure which ends up being about a gallon a day for most people
@Miguel Padilla the flavoring makes the water go down faster... I drink a crap ton of water way faster when sweetened with tigers blood EAA.
@Miguel Padilla you quoted/replied to the wrong dude
@Miguel Padilla they do have electrolytes
thanks a lot
Any idea why the biggest benefit i see from my BCAAs besides recovery is major focus? Any suggestions on another product that can produce that same calm but intense focus?
I'm interested to know if there's any benefit of taking EAAs or BCAAs for a fasted workout? I train first thing in the morning and if i have a protein shake there's not enough time for it to digest and i start to feel uncomfortable towards the end of the workout. In this case would BCAAs or EAAs be a good alternative, or just a waste of time? I get plenty of protein throughout the rest of the day.
Bcaas help me recover better from my workouts. But likely I need to increase my protein. I get it - try protein powder. Cool.
My first few yrs got to training I used to wasting a lot of money on BCAA/“pre workouts”, now 5 yrs later I realized I was so stupid😂, just like Rich Piana said real food is always better
think it's more to help recovery
I put 4 scoops of bcaa into a 3L Jug for my water intake a day. Tastes good and if it helps me I don't know but I like it lol 😂
I believe these guys but i also drink BCAA's everyday. I also consume a high protein diet. Drinking BCAA's mid workout and post workout help me feel way better. Also idk why but if i have a heavy night of drinking. I can down a scoop of bcaas in a bottle of water before bed. I dont wake up with a hangover If i dont. I wake up head pounding and feel like trash. So idk. I truly believe in taking them and i love the taste lol. Maybe im wasting money idk but i like them alot. Also i use 5% nutrition bcaas and they have a lot of other in them as well
if you think taking BCAAs are good (which I do and I push people to take BCAAs and Protein powder, but you wouldnt believe how many people push this off immediately and just take more Ls)
EAAs are top tier and when balanced right with leucine > 700mg and with a decent ratio between it and the other 8 AAs you get crazy more benefits!
EAAs are the #1 best way to get protein synthesis at its absolute max when taken right before workout/lifting and shows great benefits when taken during the workout as well, it is so substantial it is the single most effective and important time to make the most of your lifting. You have far far greater synthesis results when doing this (as in before and get even more when including during) compared to after your workout.
Casein or food with high amount of it like cottage cheese before bed seems to be the second best thing/time to get the most bang for your buck
so funny enough, EAAS are the same things as simply going for whey protein because protein is amino acids
you also only want to take 25mg to 40mg of a form of protein at a time, of course for synthesis purposes only, eating more like during meals with protein is absolutely okay, your body will only process that amount though so taking more than that in EAAS or whey will just be expensive pee
theres 9 eaas at most and even HIS is debatable...conditionally essential aint the same
is there any harm in drinking BCAA daily, cuz i do love their taste....even when i knew they were not exactly useful
Wait a minute, if the amino acid is the building blocks of the protein, how come to take the protein instead of the amino?
as far I know when you consume protein, the protein is been broken down into aminos and then is built up to a protein for the certain function is needed?
Dk if it is a bit late, but amino acids are the same thing as proteins
@@timmuller1516they aren't, amino acids form proteins
I rather so over then under supplement intake
The way I understand it is technically BCAAS are only useless if you don't get enough protein, and only beneficial for performance and recovery if protein is sufficient. The three amino acids found in BCAAS are the three mainly responsible for stimulating protein synthesis. If your protein intake is down and you are taking bcaas well then you don't have enough of the other essential amino acids so you are telling your body to rapidly draw from old protein sources(breaking down old muscles) which can actually be harmful to muscle gain. The goal is to take bcaas right before a workout, and with adequate protein your protein synthesis will speed up and you will recover faster. If your goal is supporting muscle building directly, then you would need take all nine essential amino acids. Bcaas are only for performance, you need all EAA to build muscle. May as well stick to whey protein unless you are calorie restricted, then you can use EAAs.
👍👍👍👍
What if my protein intake is high but maybe almost half of it is plant based.(I don’t supplement with whey)Should I take EAA/BCAA’s?
Thanks so much! 💓
Check out 3:25 for your answer 😀
@@thesoundmajors9858 thank you but he also said if you’re protein intake is already high you don’t need to supplement with more so that’s why I asked for clarified guidance cause this is all new to me 😬💓
Ok so someone like me ,i am 300 pounds and about 35% body fat, i'm not drinking my body weight in protein everyday as much as i'd like to day dream i am, so its good for someone like me who's being realistic about their diet.
