Amino Acids and BCAAs

Amino acids are often referred to as the building blocks of proteins, and the proteins and enzymes that are made up of these amino acids make up the muscles, hormones, neurotransmitters, and more that keep the body running smoothly. A healthy body requires twenty different amino acids, some of which are produced by the body itself. However, eight of these can only be obtained through diet or supplementation, and many more often need to be boosted due to a variety of factors, including diet, age, exercise, infection, and stress levels. Amino acid supplements can help keep the body healthy and fight conditions like fatigue. They are especially beneficial for bodybuilders and strength trainers as amino acids are essential for building, maintaining and repairing muscle.


For those taking strength training supplements, BCAA supplements are a good option. BCAAs are branched-chain amino acids that include leucine, isoleucine, and valine—three amino acids that your body cannot make on its own. Leucine, isoleucine and valine make up about 33% of the skeletal muscle in the body and are essential for muscle formation and are also helpful in slowing down muscle degradation.
