let's chat about BCAAS....

  BCAA's,  branched chain amino acids, are the building blocks of protein.   They help break down food, grow and repair body tissue, provide an energy source, maintain healthy hair, skin, and nails, and boost your immune system.  BCAA supplements have been shown to build muscle, decrease muscle fatigue , and alleviate muscle soreness.  They have also been used in a hospital setting  to prevent or slow muscle loss and to improve symptoms of liver disease.   Despite all this, for some reason, people still doubt the value of this supplement!

  Personally, I have been taking aminos for like 20 years !  I love them!   The only downfall, for me, is that most companies make their formulas with the artificial sweetener , sucralose....   Sucralose is better known as SPLENDA and is a chemical made in a laboratory .  It alters glucose and insulin levels, increases risk of digestive problems, alters gut health and damages the GI tract, and may play a role in several cancers.

  The amino formula I like the best (bodytech critical aminos) includes L-glutamine, which is the one that helps muscle soreness and L-carnatine , a non stim fatburner !!   Best times to drink your aminos are before, during, or after your workout !
