You have probably heard about the benefits of BCAA supplements. Basically, they are one of the best supplements you can take if you are looking to build muscle, lose weight, get stronger, or improve athletic performance.

What are BCAA supplements?

Branched-chain amino acids are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are called branched-chain because they have a branched carbon chain structure, which is different from the linear structure of other amino acids. BCAAs are found in foods such as chicken, beef, fish, and eggs. They make up one-third of the amino acids in muscle protein, so they are important for maintaining muscle mass and preventing muscle tissue breakdown during exercise. They are commonly used to prevent fatigue during endurance exercise, reduce muscle soreness after exercise, improve exercise performance, and help maintain lean body mass during weight loss diets.

BCAA supplements are commonly used by athletes who train intensely and need extra fuel to help them recover from strenuous training sessions. Research has shown that BCAA supplements can be beneficial for preventing muscle soreness, reducing muscle damage, and improving performance during exercise.

Using BCAAs as a recovery supplement can help muscle growth and repair after intense workouts. It also helps prevent muscle breakdown during fasting or calorie restriction by preserving muscle glycogen stores for energy use instead of using them for gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors).

What are they used for?

Just like with protein powders, amino acids serve to: (claims approved and validated by EFSA Regulation (EU) 432/2012)

  • BCAAs contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass
  • BCAA amino acids help maintain muscle glycogen
  • Speeds up muscle recovery after exercise
  • Reduces stress or fatigue perceived by the athlete during exercise
  • Keeps the immune system in good condition

BCAAs: powder or tablets?

When buying a BCAA supplement, is it better to take BCAA supplements in powder or tablet form? This is a question we have been asked many times, and the answer depends on the situation.

  • If you are looking for purity and value for money, then we recommend BCAA supplements in powder form. This is because the price per serving of BCAA powders is lower than the price per serving in capsules. On the other hand, they are more versatile since you can mix them with other powdered supplements as well.
  • On the other hand, if you want convenience for transport and even to avoid gas, then we recommend taking BCAA tablets instead of powders.

What types of BCAA formulations exist?

The ratio of BCAAs in your supplement can vary quite a bit. A supplement with a ratio of X:Y:Z indicates that for each serving there are:

  • X parts leucine
  • Y parts isoleucine
  • Z parts valine

Traditionally, supplements have been made with a 2:1:1 ratio, as it is closer to the natural ratio found in muscle tissue, but in recent years new innovative formulations have been developed, such as 4:1:1, 8:1:1, 12:1:1, and even 20:1:1.

These ratios different from 2:1:1 have other positive effects, since the higher the amount of leucine, the more anabolic the supplement will be. So when you see 8:1:1 or 4:1:1, it means there is more leucine than isoleucine and valine in those formulas. This is because leucine activates muscle protein synthesis more than the other two amino acids.
