BCAAs – why are they worth taking?

The popularity of products containing exogenous amino acids among athletes is really impressive. Years have passed, trends are changing and products in this category are still one of the main dietary supplements while regularly exercising at different intensity levels. Find out what BCAAs are and why are they worth taking?

BCAAs – why are they worth taking? Basic component of protein

The name "macro nutrients" refers to the three fundamental sources of energy in everyone's daily diet - proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Each person has completely different needs, which are related to a number of variables such as age, gender, current body weight or the frequency and intensity of workouts. Although all of them are extremely important, especially for physically active people, athletes should take special care of the appropriate level of protein. How are BCAAs associated with this and why should they be taken?

 

Amino acids are protein-forming components, which are the basic elements used by the body to synthesize various types of proteins. The BCAA complex is a combination of constituents of an exogenous nature, which explains the need to obtain them from external sources. Since the body is not able to produce them on its own, we are also aware of the reason why it is worth taking them in the context of protein and the everyday diet.

BCAAs – why are worth taking during workouts?

The BCAA complex contains three amino acids - L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. All of them are essential components of the aforementioned protein, but what is the protein itself responsible for? Maintaining an optimal supply of protein in your daily diet allows you to maintain your existing muscle mass. It is not difficult to guess that increasing the amount of protein consumed in the diet, and thus the BCAAs, will lead to an increase in your total weight.
