What are BCAAs?BCAA stands for Branch Chain Amino Acids, of which there are three (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine). They are one of the most overlooked & most effective supplements for anyone looking to build muscle & increase performance or simply to help lesson the muscle breakdown while doing intense exercise. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein & muscle growth. BCAAs make up 35% of our muscles & have to be present in the body for muscle growth. On top of that they are used to balance hormonal release & brain functions. When you are working out with heavy weights or doing extended periods of cardio, having a supply of branch chain amino acids (BCAAs) can benefi t you greatly. This is because, when you work out your body quickly depletes your glycogen storage & starts sending a signal to stop protein synthesis. This makes your body become catabolic (this is when your body starts breaking down muscle tissue), which is exactly what you dont want. When you use Garnell Nutritions BCAAs, you can greatly assist the body & allow you to continue protein synthesis. This can lead to better muscle gains, faster recovery between sessions, & greater performance. If you ever combine weight training & cardio in the same session, then it is highly recommended to take your BCAA capsules during your workout or right before your cardio session. This will assist to prevent any unwanted muscle loss during your aerobic exercise & provide extra energy to finish. By taking Garnell Nutritions BCAAs prior to cardio you will not hurt your fat burning power. Can I use BCAAs with other supplements? Yes you can use BCAAs alongside your overall supplementation plan. This product can be used inconjunction with High Performance Whey, Lean-Force fat burners, Creatine & Enrage, pretty muchany product you like.
