BCAA GUIDE

1. BCAA

BCAA which stands for “Branched Chain Amino Acids” does make 35% of your muscles,

BCAA is an essential which means every protein you eat contains BCAA because there is a non-essential amino acid which is being made by your body itself so if the BCAA are already included in the protein you eat then why you should consume BCAA as a supplement

2. Why you should consume BCAA Supplements?

Although if you eat protein food and whey protein isolate there is not enough BCAA in there, that means they are not enough to build your muscles and you are still missing some nutrition. Specially if you work at high intensity then you need much high BCAA than any other athletes.
