BCAA refers to the branched-chain amino acids leucine, valine and isoleucine. They play an important role in the diet of strength and endurance athletes because, on one hand, they reduce protein breakdown in the muscle, which takes place during sport, and, on the other hand, can be metabolised as an alternative energy source by the body.

Branched-chain amino acids and their importance in sport

During physical exertion and increasing duration, the body also uses BCAAs to provide energy and attacks the body's own reserves of muscle tissue if there is no supply of BCAA. Endurance athletes therefore benefit from BCAA intake during sporting performance because the body's own reserves are conserved. Strength athletes appreciate BCAA, especially leucine, which serves as an anabolic signalling agent for muscle protein synthesis, which is crucial for building and maintaining muscle mass and ultimately also has a positive effect on recovery. Because declining BCAA levels have a negative impact on athletes' perception of fatigue and exertion, endurance athletes ideally use BCAA during endurance events such as cycling and bike marathons, Ironman, long-distance triathlons and ultra runs, preferably in combination with recovery products. Strength athletes can take BCAA shortly before their workout and/or supplement their protein shake after training.

BCAA INSTANT is a powder for adding to shakes and drinks. BCAA CAPSULES are hard-shell capsules that are particularly easy to dose. AMINO 12500 contains around 1100 mg BCAA per ampoule, which is ideal for use in endurance and strength sports at any time due to its small pack size. LIQUID ENERGY BCAA gel provides 42 g of carbohydrates and 500 mg of BCAA per tube (70 g), which is why the gel is suitable for long-term endurance training as well as for regeneration. EAA INSTANT is a zero-carb drink powder that supplies strength and endurance athletes with 11 essential and conditionally essential amino acids in free form.

BCAA capsules and powder: FAQs about BCAA

BCAA CAPSULES are hard-shell capsules containing the three essential amino acids leucine, valine and isoleucine in a ratio of 3:1:1, which must be provided by dietary intake. BCAA INSTANT also contains the three essential amino acids mentioned, but comes as a micronised and instantised powder; either as a ready-flavoured cola drink or in a neutral flavour for adding to sports drinks or shakes.

For strength athletes looking for amino acids to build muscle, the following dosage of BCAA CAPSULES is recommended: two portions shortly before and shortly after training, ideally 2 capsules per 10 kg body weight divided into two portions, combined with a protein or recovery shake. Endurance athletes achieve the desired effect of BCAA if they take 2-4 capsules per hour and 1 capsule per 10 kg of body weight shortly after their performance during long periods of endurance exercise.

In amino acid metabolism, BCAA are also used for the body's own production of glutamine. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Its requirement often exceeds its availability during high levels of stress and injuries. Supplementation with BCAA can therefore help the muscles to synthesise glutamine. Glutamine also promotes glycogen resynthesis, supports immune function, promotes regeneration after exercise and attenuates muscle breakdown.

Anyone considering taking BCAA as a dietary supplement for muscle protection and muscle maintenance will recognise that BCAA is available in different dosage forms. Whether you end up taking your BCAA requirements in powder form, as a shot or in capsule form depends on individual preferences and convenience of use (strength or endurance sports, bodybuilding; directly after training, during training, etc.).

BCAA capsules and BCAA supplements are considered a dietary supplement in strength and endurance sports. In order to achieve the full benefits of BCAA, they should always be consumed as described on the packaging and accompanied by a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
