BCAAs or protein - what is better for building a good amount of muscle?

Many athletes are still trying to answer the question as to which supplement will be better when building muscle mass. Supplements based only on the BCAA complex or those rich in complete protein ? The truth turns out to be lying in the middle and, as usual, both solutions are equally beneficial for the support of a balanced diet and regular training.

BCAAs or protein - what is better when building mass?

Proteins are certainly a fundamental element of the daily diet, playing an undeniably important role in the process of muscle mass growth and preservation. It is the optimum supply of protein that will give your muscles the right building blocks for growth. In addition, the "mass building stage" and the hypertrophic training is inextricably linked to resistance exercises, which can promote excessive strain on the musculoskeletal system. The right amount of protein will help to maintain healthy and solid bone condition. Protein supplements are recommended primarily as a form of an additional source of protein, which is intended to quickly and conveniently cover part of the daily requirement.

 

How about BCAAs? It is a complex of three essential components - L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine - which are the components that make up the protein. That's right! Proteins are made up of endogenous amino acids (produced in the body) and exogenous amino acids (necessary to be supplied from external sources), like the three mentioned above. Thanks to the optimal supply of BCAA, there is a possibility to support your daily diet for the maintenance of the appropriate protein levels. Moreover, the amino acids are valuable for nitrogen metabolism. This in turn ensures that the muscles have a suitable working environment and much better protection against unwanted breakdown reactions, e.g. from exhausting exercise.

 

So what's better for people who are building mass? Both protein and BCAAs are needed in your daily diet. Moreover, by supplementing one of them, you in a way influence the level of the other one, which additionally confirms the validity of their use.
