BCAA ugly scam !

How NOT to use BCAA.

Nowadays BCAA seems to be the most selling supplement just after protein and Pre-Workout respectively. The BCAA is primarily consumed for post-workout recovery, pre-workout energy enhancing, anti-catabolic effect and to promote muscle growth. But has any of these benefits been scientifically proved? In the following paragraph I will recall many studies and clinical trials that proved that BCAA is ineffective and a complete waste of money.

Does BCAA promote muscle growth?

No, a recent study showed that 8 weeks heavy training exercises combined with 9 grams of BCAA was ineffective to improve muscle performance or promote muscle growth(1).

Does BCAA improve performance?

Multiple recent studies proved that BCAA is ineffective to improve athletic performance. A study even proved that BCAA negatively affects muscle performance (2).

Does BCAA inhibit the catabolism process?

Many trials and studies showed that BCAA reduces Exercise-induced muscle damage SAY IT AGAIN? “BCAA reduces Exercise-induced muscle damage” DON’T YOU GET IT AREN’T YOU? Why we go to the gym? To destroy our muscles so new fibers will grow yes? But the BCAA reduces the damage so your hard work goes for free.

Conclusion

if you still believe in the magic of BCAA then just drink your protein shake, whey protein naturally contains about 5 grams of BCAA per 30g serving. Now you got the truth post comments -> share:)
