What are Amino Acid Supplements?

BCAAs are the building blocks of protein, which stimulates your body to rebuild and grow new muscle tissue. Among the numerous essential amino acids, three of them are responsible for maintaining muscle mass and repairing broken-down muscle tissue:

  • isoleucine
  • valine
  • leucine

Leucine, in particular, stands as the primary BCAA that stimulates protein synthesis and prevents muscle catabolism. You'll notice that BCAA products have a higher ratio of leucine to isoleucine and valine in their mixtures to activate mTOR signalling and amp up the muscle-building and recovery process. MAX'S BCAA 10:1:1, for example, has a high-leucine formulation for maximising energy, boosting recovery and promoting protein synthesis.

Benefits of Taking BCAAs

There's a reason why amino acids are a popular supplement in the bodybuilding sphere— it's because of the massive benefits they offer, regardless of your fitness goal. BCAAs can:

  • build muscle
  • accelerate the rate of protein synthesis
  • slow down protein breakdown
  • reduce fatigue, thereby enhancing workout intensity
  • improve mental focus
  • increase muscle retention
  • burn more fat, especially when combined with glutamine
  • decrease delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS)
