![]() WHAT, WHY, and HOW OF SUPPLEMENTING WITH BCAAS (a Straightforward explanation) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BCAAs are common talk/knowledge in the fitness industry, but aren’t always used optimally & there are so many different ways people do use them! So, you might be wondering what they REALLY are and how to get the MOST out of them for muscle gains, recovery, and optimizing your workouts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Before I switched my major to Psychology I studied Clinical Nutrition & Dietetics for my Associates degree and many of my main courses (yum lol!). I also spend a lot of my ‘free time’ reading research papers, studies, and learning from the best (yes...I am a hoot!!!) so I can support my clients and even my audience to the best of my ability! So now after reading that maybe you can trust me more with this info? 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are 20 essential amino acids, 3 of which are most notable for Increasing skeletal muscle mass; leucine, isoleucine, and valine. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s important to use a product that has a 2:1:1 ratio with these BCAAs because it gets used directly by the muscle fibers for energy. Allowing for less fatigue and more stamina, as well as fat loss or minimal fat gain due to isoleucines magic ability to activate the PPAR which is a long acronym for a receptor with many different jobs, one of which being turning on genes for fat burning and inhibiting genes that wanna store the fat! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Take at least 5g of these BCAAs before and after a workout to get the most results. You could also add in more leucine after your workout for greater protein synthesis. Take this WITH a protein shake for optimal recovery and muscle growth. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myself, and other athletes, rely on branch chain amino acids to help with our progress, recovery, & building / protecting muscle. One of the best products I’ve used is the Edge Supps aminos because they meet these needs and they even have things like L-glutamine, coconut water, magnesium, calcium, & potassium (You can reach out with questions on these or do your own research too!). Plus they have a whey protein so you can use that post workout too! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They also taste really good which makes taking them much more enjoyable and allows me to get my water intake in easier! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can check the supps out HERE. Do your own research then reach out with any questions you might have or just use my code ‘celeste15’ at checkout to save you money. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I get a small kickback for you using the link but I’d say all my efforts & energy to break it down for you is worth so much more :) Win, win situation really and I am SO grateful to those of you who use my code consistently, it’s really cool to see that there are a few of you who do this and it means a lot to me knowing you trust me, like the products too, & support me in taking the time to make posts like this by using my code at checkout here: www.edgesupps.com :) 😊
