BCAAs Boost Immunity...

[faipdeooiad]

How's the flavor? Or in your part of the world, flavour

You mean in proper English? The flavour is agreeable.

[compan]

What ratio though?

4:1:1

the gold standard for immunity repose IMO.


BCAAs also let me add on 10lbs of lean muscle while fighting off the virus. It mostly went to my dick though.

thats the worst time to take them...

Elaborate please

The only thing I know about proper is mixing me some BCAAs in carbonated water

And you thought BCAAs were just hype

I finally listened and now I'm cured, added muscle all over (especially in the dick) and currently dating a supermodel. I feel like a real like Nugenix commercial.

COVID-19: Doctors in New York now Recommend Critically Ill 16 Times More Intake of Vitamin C

[ILPump]

Increasing Vit. D, C and zinc along with extra BCAA’s and protein sounds like a great idea. Especially now. Could be the new norm after all this?

although it's not bad advice for long term health, he is just parroting and should not be taken as an authority on health, now if he does a clinic on how to look at refs and have them throw flags...

He owns a supplement company and has a prtety good understanding on how to incorporate them for success. Also, what happened to App Nut?

If they were truly a waste I wouldn't use em or recommend them

Its all about the timing

What is a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA)?
BCAAs are a set of three amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) that belong to the category of essential amino acids, accounting for 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle proteins and 40% of the preformed amino acids required by mammals. That’s an astounding amount. The “branched” structure of these 3 amino acids makes them unique in how they are transported in the body. They can be sent to the bloodstream directly from the liver, as opposed to undergoing the more lengthy metabolic process of other amino acids. This makes them fast to act, and possibly more important to the prevention and repair of damaged muscle tissue in the body.

Benefits of BCAAs
Branched-chain amino acids are utilized in the medical treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, Lou Gehrig’s disease), brain conditions related to liver disease like chronic hepatic encephalopathy and tardive dyskinesia. Branched-chain amino acids stimulate our bodies to build protein, and my help prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue. They also assist to prevent broken chemical transmissions in the brain that lead to certain chronic diseases. Outside of treatment for major medical conditions, multiple studies have shown usage of BCAA for general health, body weight management and exercise support. Let’s examine some of the most common uses for BCAA as a supplement.

[TheFugitive]

Decreased obesity and belly fat
– Having more BCAAs in your diet may help you keep your weight down. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found higher intake of BCAAs to be inversely associated with overweight status/obesity. In short, more BCAAs in the diet may mean lower body fat percentage. Ahem, I’ll take some of that!


Increased exercise performance
– Taking some BCAAs with your exercise sessions may enhance your performance at the gym or on the road. BCAA supplementation can reduce your perceived exertion during your workouts and lead to better performance. This is likely due to the effect that BCAAs can have on brain serotonin levels. Serotonin is a lovely neurotransmitter. It can make us feel calm and relaxed, and maybe a little bit sleepy. Those are really great things, but not when you’re trying to beat your speed record! Tryptophan is the parent amino acid to serotonin production. BCAAs may reduce serotonin levels in the brain by competitively blocking entry of tryptophan. Studies showenhancement of physical performance of over 17%, and reduction in endurance running times with BCAA supplementation, particularly in the “slower runners” of the group. Just sayin…

[TheFugitive]

Decreased DOMS
– Say what now? DOMS or delayed onset muscle soreness is the lingering, sore, heavy, “why did I do this” feeling you get the day or 2 after your intense gym sessions. DOMS may result from the micro tears in your muscle fibers that cause inflammation. Not to fear! Those tiny tears get repaired, which is how we facilitate hypertrophy, or muscle growth, as long as the damage is not excessive. Studies suggest that BCAAs may help prevent excessive muscle breakdown during exercise. Not only does DOMS make you feel cruddy, it can reduce your strength and inhibit you getting back in for that next workout and staying on track! BCAA supplementation before weight training reduces DOMs. So, take some BCAAs and you can get back to your squat program, and we know what that means.

How is this ridiculously clear trolling attempt not a locked thread already?

[ILPump]

Why should anyone listen to either of you? As far as I can tell more than enough credible information has been presented on BCAA’s

To dismiss them entirely? Correct.

The purpose of this thread was to bring awareness to members that compromise their immunity through strenuous training. I could honestly careless what brand of BCAAs you use, and what's presented is backed by plenty of credible sources

Use a scoop of whey for the extra grams of bcaas. It bolsters glutathione which is critical to healthy immune function and muscle glutamine. Not to mention, you need arginine for proper T cell reception and cysteine is a glutathione precursor.

BCAAs, EAAs and Protein were all mentioned along with arginine. I didn't leave anyone out of the pool. I said "Pool", get it?

This is where taking a free form BCAA might be more beneficial versus a shake or a meal, and let's be honest... who likes to drink a shake or eat a meal prior to training

Since the body utilizes glutamine stores as cellular energy for the immune system, it is important to keep them topped off. It has been shown that intense exercise whether for athletic performance, muscle hypertrophy, fat loss or general health and fitness can deplete glutamine levels in the body up to 50%, and therefore significantly suppress the immune system. Fortunately as noted, BCAAs can help to maintain glutamine levels and proper immune function.


Recent research showed that after an Olympic distance triathlon, athletes supplemented with BCAAs maintained their blood glutamine levels before and after the triathlon, while the placebo group had a 23% reduction in blood glutamine. The supplemental BCAA group also had a 34% decreased risk of infection after completion of the triathlon compared to the placebo group.


Besides the maintenance of glutamine stores, other research has shown that even with glutamine at optimal concentrations, there is still an absolute requirement for BCAAs in the immune system. Immune cells intake BCAAs into their protein structures, and they also oxidize BCAAs as fuel. The immune system seems to use BCAAs mainly for protein synthesis, of which it has a very high dependence since mounting a response requires the creation of new cells, immunoglobulins, cytokines, and more.


If BCAAs are not sufficient then proper synthesis of these immune system materials is impaired and the immune response is markedly decreased.

My job does not require me to post on here, I do it because I love BB.com. Take it for what it's worth, more than enough info is present on Amino Acids and Immunity

I have them in the cabinet so why not use them.
