BCAA
• Branched-chain amino acids– Lots of products– Different supplementation

Energie Needs
• 80-100% of the body's energy – supplied by fats and carbohydrates
• normal conditions – amino acids can provide up to 20% of your energy
• muscle proteins – a rich source of BCAAs– muscles can use the BCAAs directly

BCAA Oxidation
• BCAA oxidation during exercise period– 240% above baseline
• total BCAA oxidation during a ride – 90% of the total requirement for
various BCAAs

BCAA Oxidation Conclusion
• Not consumimg enough protein – to make up for that protein by a workout– body will strip aminos & BCAA • from muscles • This is obviously not something you want to happen

BCAA Benefits
• Boosting Immune Function• Stimulate Fat Loss• Increased Recovery• Anti-Catabolic Effects• Endurance

Results
• The combination of glutamine and BCAA's– improve nitrogen balance– slow down muscle wasting
• low dose combination – BCAA (3 grams) – glutamine (5 grams) – greater gain in muscle mass– greater gains in strength

BCAA Dosage
• maximize the various anabolic effects – approximately 9 grams per 100 pounds lean
bodyweight per day. – BCAA dosages as high as .44 g BCAA per kg of lean
bodyweight
• 220 lbs (total weight) - 20 lbs (body fat in lbs)= 200 lbs / 2.2= 90.91 kg (weight in kg) X .44g = 40 grams BCAA per day.

BCAA Timing
• splitting the dosage in half – consuming half 30 minutes prior – other half immediately after the workout
• periods of dieting– supplemental levels of 2-5 grams BCAA and
glutamine between meals
