Can It Be All About It for Muscle Gain, Fat Loss, and Shaping? – BCAA Full Explanation
Chinese: Branched-Chain Amino Acids
BCAA: Represents the branched chain
Chain: A string, a group
Amino Acids: Containing amino groups
The human body is composed of proteins, which are various amino acids, there are about 20 kinds
Of these, 9 cannot be synthesized by the human body, which are the essential amino acids, meaning the amino acids that need to be supplemented additionally
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) are one of these groups of amino acids
Contains—Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine Leucine is the most important component, especially
In the blood circulationLeucine can open the mTOR mechanism of cellsmTOR Rapamycin Target ProteinIt governs the control of functions such as cell growth, apoptosis, and autophagy (which is to break down and extract nutrients)
Leucine can activate
mTOR muscle synthesis
function, BCAA other two members can also activate this function, justReceptors are more sensitive to leucineIn BCAA supplementation experiments, it was significantly better than the control group in burn, kidney damage, and liver damage experimentsThe conventional training experiment confirmed that in one month, the group that supplemented with BCAA showed a 9% increase in strength growth, compared to the control group A of 33% and group B of 42%—Branched-Chain Amino Acids groupLeucine in the food
Pumpkin Seeds1G protein contains 110MG (0.11G) leucineThen we know, 100G pumpkin seeds contain 33G protein, 11% of which is leucine, so 100G pumpkin seeds contain 3.63G leucine
And 100G beef contains about 20G protein, each G protein contains
80-100mg
LeucineTherefore, 100G beef contains about 2G leucine
If you eat 150G beef, you can achieve the level of a spoonful of supplement
Beef costs about 10-15 yuan, chicken meat costs 4-6 yuanLooking at it this way, eating meat and eating supplements are almost the same, but the real use case of BCAA is—fasted cardio Morning 45-minute fasted cardio
Post-workout fasted cardioIn a low-blood sugar state,Muscles
are easier to obtain as an energy source thanfat
For many years, the reality I have experienced is that you cannot stop muscle breakdown, only delaying it
For fitness and weight loss people who don't want to painstakingly build muscle, increasing the length of fasted cardio to prevent muscle loss, skin loosening and muscle circumference reduction is a nightmare
BCAA is the antidote to this problem, rapidly absorbed and replacing amino acids in the muscles, broken down into glycogen for the body to provide energy Against muscle breakdown and increasing muscle mass
has a significant function, the target audience includesLong-distance running, cycling and other long-duration cardioFootball, basketball and other high-intensity physical consumption sportsFitness enthusiasts, who have specific body shape requirements, are currently the mainstream population using BCAA
In general, supplementing with BCAA alone is cheap and fast, and it can extend exercise intensity during exercise, BCAA is a good choice
