BCAAs
Branched
Chain Amino Acidsare held in high regard in bodybuilding circles and justly
so. They are the three most important amino acids in the manufacture,
maintenance and repair of muscle-tissue. All three exert a strong synergistic
effect.
Using
just Valine or Iso-leucine does little as far as anabolics is concerned but
both, when dosed in the right amounts, enhance the effect of the all-important
Leucine. As with certain other supplements, the relative dose is more
important than the overall dose.
It
is believed that a 2-1-2 equilibrium in Leucine/Iso-leucine/Valine dosing
yields the best results. The dosages listed are the FDA recommendations for
taking the individual BCAA's. BCAAs are used medically to treat headaches,
dizziness, fatigue, depression and irritability as a result of protein
deficiency.
BCAAs
are always best used together. A little useful stack advice: BCAAs stack well
with B-complex vitamins.
