What conditions is a BCAA supplement helpful for?
Safety and review of side effects, use in sports nutrition BCAA is an abbreviation for branched chain amino acids. BCAA — leucine, isoleucine, and valine — particularly leucine, have anabolic effects on protein metabolism by increasing the rate of protein synthesis and decreasing the rate of protein degradation in resting human muscle. Also, during recovery from endurance exercise, BCAA have anabolic effects in human muscle. These effects are likely to be mediated through changes in signaling pathways controlling protein synthesis. BCAA activate mTOR and p70 S6 kinase in human muscle in the recovery period after exercise. BCAAs are easily found in dairy foods and meat.
