Bcca Branched-chain amino acids are the building blocks of protein. In order for your body to rebuild and grow new muscle, you need these amino acids. There are 20 in total, 11 of which can be manufactured by the body. However, the body can't make the other nine, they have to come from our diet or supplements.
The nine essential amino acids are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Of these nine, however, there's an important trio when it comes to maintaining all-important muscle mass: isoleucine, valine and leucine.
The latter, leucine, is the most important amino acid. Within your body, leucine diminishes during exercise, meaning that it must be replaced through your diet to help stimulate further protein synthesis and allow the body to build more muscle. #ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ dm for more
