1. What is BCAA powder?

Bcaa powder is a BCAA powdered food supplement that is often refreshed in taste. BCAAs are real all-rounders for your muscles. The name Bcaa stands for "branched chain amino acids" (in German: branched chain amino acids). BCAA stands for a group of amino acids, which consists of the three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids play an important role in muscle tissue. BCAA products are always given in a ratio of the 3 amino acids, e.g. 4: 1: 1. The first number indicates the leucine content, the second isoleucine and the third number valine. Basically, leucine is dosed the highest because it is the most important amino acid for muscle building and muscle maintenance.

2. How does BCAA powder work?

Amino acids are the building blocks of the entire body tissue, which logically also includes the muscles. If the body has all the amino acids in sufficient form, it can build all kinds of proteins. The more amino acids the body has available, the better it can build new muscles and protect built-up muscles from being broken down. In return, if the body does not have enough amino acids, it has to get them from the muscles. The result: painstakingly built muscle mass is becoming less and less.
No matter whether your goal is muscle building or fat loss. BCAAs can support your body and help you reach your training goal faster.
When BCAAs are taken with carbohydrates, they stimulate insulin release. Because insulin is a strongly anabolic hormone, these have a positive effect on muscle building.

3. What are the advantages of BCAA powder?

In contrast to other amino acids, the BCAAs are not metabolized by the liver, but are directly available to the body.
During the training, the body uses these, among other things, for the resynthesis of ATP. The body needs ATP as the primary energy source for the muscles.
By taking BCAAs before training, the body is provided with a quick source of energy. The body can prefer this. The BCAA reserves in the muscles remain untouched even during long training sessions. The big advantage of BCAAs is their rapid absorption through the body.

4. Possible side effects of BCAA powder

BCAAs are natural amino acids that are also found in normal foods. Human skeletal muscles consist of approximately 35% BCAAs.
They belong to the non-toxic compounds. This means that even larger quantities have no harmful effects. Nevertheless, you should stick to the recommended dosage to avoid slight intolerances such as bloating or skin reactions.

5. When does the effect of BCAAs start?

BCAA are among the supplements that have a medium to long-term effect.

6. How is BCAA powder taken?

The correct intake and dosage depend on various factors. This includes height, weight and of course the eating habits. A general recommendation for income could look like this:
30-40 minutes before training: 5 g (max. 10 g)
After the workout: 5 g (max. 10 g)
Optional: morning / evening: 5 g (max. 10 g)

7. Which is better, BCAA powder or EAA powder?

EAA has been finding more and more fans in recent times. But what's the difference? EAA stands for “essential amino acids”. The essential amino acids also include the branched-chain amino acids. The BCAAs leucine, valine and isoleucine make up part of the EAAs. The body cannot produce the so-called essential amino acids itself. They have to be absorbed from the outside.
