Bcaa Do they even work?

The twins alway hate on them
Luii Marco all way say there a need
Idk what to do
My whey dosent have bcaa's long story short I can't change the whey I take
Do u think they could be useful?

This post is my personal opinion

I would go with odge twins when it comes to advice on supplements

See the first thing you should concentrate is clean up your diet and get a solid workout plan

Next you should think of supplements after finalizing your diet plan

IMO you do not need any BCAAs if you are consuming enough protein , 1 g per pound of lean mass

I am working our for three years I have used xtend only once when I was a beginner , for past 2 years I mainly used whey protein and creatine - which is more than enough

Eggs , meat , chicken , milk all are complete source of Protein and they have bcaa In them

1 scoop of ON whey is 5 g of bcaa , I take 3 scoops a day which is a lot

Only thing you should do is eat quality protein food , it is better to spend for foods instead of supps which are over priced

I subscribe to all fitness channel - hodge twins , luii Marco , bigJextremefitness , Omar , scooby , many more but I don't blindly follow them , I do my research

Long story short
I can't take supplements
My friend gives me my whey which dosent have bcaa's
My diet is really good
Been training for 1.5years
Found 30$ on the floor and wana buy some type of supplement
Idk what to get

dxjoedx BCAA is found in protein including whey protein.  It may not have added BCAA but it does contain BCAA.  IT actually has the most BCAA of regular food type protein.

Look at any whey protein profile

if your gains have slowed down allot look to routine and diet/recovery no supp out there is going to do anything that will make a difference if any of the 3 above are off.  spend the 30 on something more worth while.

Here are the facts then.

What it's supposed to do:
The BCAA’s are the amino acids that are primarily used (oxidized) during exercise and make up to one third of the amino acids in muscle tissue. It has been known for a long time that BCAA’s play a critical role in the turn over of lean body tissues (muscle) and is muscle sparing (i.e. anti-catabolic) in a variety of muscles wasting states. Of the three BCAA, L-leucine appears to be the most important to  preserving hard earned muscle mass; intense exercise and certain disease states have been shown to eat up a great deal of L-leucine.

what research actually says:

On the research front, some studies have found the consumption of BCAA before endurance exercise may decrease the rate of protein degradation and may have a sparing effect on muscle glycogen degradation and depletion of muscle glycogen stores. However, leucine supplementation at 200 mg per kg of bodyweight prior to anaerobic running exercise (sprinting) did not improve performance. Truth is, research to date with BCAA’s and performance has been contradictory at best. One of the major drawbacks of the BCAA’s as a supplement is dosage. It takes very high doses to see any ergogenic effect, assuming there are any ergogenic effects to be had, as studies are still limited and or contradictory. Although BCAA’s supplementation may or may not be effective, it is cost prohibitive when one factors in the amounts needed. The good news however is that proteins, in particular whey protein, is very high in BCAA’s and this may be
yet another reason whey is the so popular with athletes and so impressive in the research. It’s far more
cost effective to use a high BCAA content protein supplement than take BCAA’s supplements in capsule form due to the high doses needed.

Hope this helps:

For me personally they didn't work and they taste like crap in powder form, I could hardly choke it down. If you curious about them, buy some and try it, see if they work for you. Thats the only way your going to know. Not all supplements work for everybody.
