BCAAs is observed to be the most effective in triggering protein synthesis. Maximum protein synthesis is noticed when BCAAs is supplemented in conjunction with resistance exercise as they both activates mTORC1 signaling pathway which is necessary for muscle building. Take BCAA for greater muscle growth and for maintaing those hard earned muscle during the time off from exercise or at cut.

Few of the studies have noted the BCAA supplementation at the ratio of 4:1:1 activated the mTOR anabolic signal molecules in the muscle cells but also inhibited the concentration of catabolic protein MAFbx. The more BCAA you have in your muscles, the slower your muscles breakdown.

BCAAs prevent fatigue of central nervous system by inhibiting tryptophan which is a precursor to serotinin made in the brain, serotonin is what makes us feel tired and sleepy. In a study participants who took 300mg/kg of BCAA supplement noted a 17.2% increased time of exhausion compared to placebo.

During strenuous exercise the glycogen are depleted. In this case body can burn BCAA for enery to maintain the ATP energy levels. BCAA may also promote body's ability to burn fat for energy.

Studies shows BCAA can reduce muscle soreness & DOMS. In a study supplemeting 100mg/kg of BCAA reduced muscle soreness at 48 hours and allowed greater training frequency.
