BCAA Supplementation May Improve Sleep

[TheFugitive]

One of the most important things that the brain needs to function at optimal efficiency is rest. Patients who took BCAA supplements in early trials displayed increased REM (rapid eye movement) sleep and a sharp decrease in end-tidal C02 levels.
That is important for adequate respiration and dreaming during sleep.

Glad I don't have chronic renal failure.

3 day study? Seems like a very short term to draw any conclusion, especially since only one night used BCAAs.

Dammit Fug, never change.

Perhaps they confused REM with eye-rolling as those being tested were perusing these BCAA threads?

Don't worry, he won't.

Do these scientists believe a scoop of protein would return the same results? Or is it just the magical BCAAs?

[VaughnTrue]

I thought studies were useless?

[powercage]

Chronic renal failure patients with restricted protein diets.

This is in no way relevant to people on this board.

[VaughnTrue]

it's true, i agree

can I get an IP check mods

[TheFugitive]

If I said the sun sets in the west, some would disagree

[powercage]

This is likely the weakest study I have ever seen from a power standpoint.

BCAAs are instant where protein takes hours upon hours to digest. Plus the BCAAs from whole foods sources and powders are always compromised

I have more to add to this thread

based on personal trial (mine).... this is not true

Is west still west if the earth is flat???

explain “compromised”

[TheFugitive]

Also, has anyone here been diagnosed with sleep apnea?

[TheFugitive]

I knew compromised would attract you

Please spare us and spare yourself the embarrassment.

based on personal trial....the only thing BCAA did was waking me up every 2 hours to pee (serious)

Do you feel our amino pools are fully saturated when consuming adequate amounts of protein?

You're doing it wrong, powder dumps with minimal water

[Iceman1800]

Only on Tuesdays. If it's round, just Mon-Fri

Doesn't the word "adequate" somewhat answer your question?

i dont know why you are allowed to post

Hur Dur, saturate this.

You're crossing the line into Registered Dietitian/medical advice with this comment. Stay in your lane. See above.

can you explain to me exactly what our amino pools are and what the difference between saturated and unsaturated is? then I might be able to answer

[nugget5]

Can we give 1 star thread or is it only 3 stars? I forget the protocol of QuestBar reps

My conspiracy theory is that it is approved trolling to maintain traffic in the section.

Do I have to be in renal failure with a restricted protein diet to answer?
