BCAA supplementation and pregnancy - is it even possible?

Pregnant women are certainly a risk group. The huge number of hormonal changes resulting from the development of the fetus is often a contraindication to the use of many dietary supplements. Is it similar in case of the BCAA supplementation? Are exogenous amino acids not recommended for use by pregnant women?

BCAA supplementation and pregnancy – how to approach it?

Although exogenous amino acids, such as the BCAA complex, are a fundamental component of the daily diet, in the case of pregnancy , one should only rely on their natural sources. Supplementation with products based on amino acids is not recommended for women expecting a baby as well as breastfeeding mothers, which, however, does not result from the very action of the ingredients. The reason is a variety of dyes, flavours and sweeteners which, although safe for health, should not be found in the diet of pregnant women.

BCAA supplementation and finished pregnancy – is it possible?

The end of pregnancy and breastfeeding often means for a woman a return to physical activity. Resuming regular training can be extremely difficult at first for a number of reasons, such as a decrease in your fitness, demotivation due to a change in your body shape after giving birth, or simply laziness and lack of confidence in your own abilities. It is then worthwhile to decide on a BCAA supplementation , which can prove extremely helpful in overcoming visual imperfections and achieving the desired effects in the form of an aesthetic body.

 

What are the BCAAs responsible for? Maintaining their intake at a sufficiently high level can have a positive effect on the total nitrogen balance of the body, which creates favourable conditions for muscle formation and working on the body. What's more, L-leucine is one of the basic components in the synthesis of new proteins. It is not difficult to guess that this may be of significant importance in terms of maintaining muscle mass.

BCAA supplementation and pregnancy – which product is worth choosing?

Olimp Sport Nutrition is known for a wide range of products that supplement your daily diet with amino acids. Although BCAA supplementation is not recommended during pregnancy , nothing stands in the way of women being able to use these products later. Especially since the products have been prepared from the highest quality microbiologically tested raw materials under the supervision of qualified scientists from the modern Research and Development Centre of the Olimp Laboratories pharmaceutical company.

 

BCAA Xplode is the flagship of the Olimp Sport Nutrition brand. It is a product in the form of an easily soluble powder with a few incredibly refreshing and intensely fruity flavours, which provides as much as 6 g of an extremely valuable complex of exogenous amino acids in each serving. The product formula has been additionally enriched with L-glutamine (one of the most important amino acids that contribute to muscle tissue) and vitamin B6 (an important component of the diet in the context of regulating the proper functioning of the nervous system). The supplement is recommended equally for men and women who want to enrich their daily diet with essential amino acids.
