Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Most of the time people would take BCAA to build muscle, but it is just a total myth. There are no human studies that show taking BCAA will increase muscle synthesis and it won’t also prevent muscle loss.</p> <p><br></p> <p>3 Types of Branched Chain Amino Acids </p> <p>1. Leucine </p> <p>2. Isoleucine </p> <p>3. Valine </p> <p><br></p> <p>There are two intravenous studies that showed it decrease in protein synthesis. BCAA turns into fuel that may give you a little bit of energy while you are working out. The body needs all 9 essential amino acids for recovery, repair, and regrowth of proteins. 70% of muscle protein breakdown is recycled. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:</p> <p>Dr. Berg, 51 years of age is a chiropractor who specializes in weight loss through nutritional &amp; natural methods.
