Branched-chain
amino acids (BCAAs) consist of three amino acids: leucine, isoleucine
and valine, and are among the nine essential amino acids – those
amino acids that are not produced within the body and must be
obtained through the diet or supplementation.
BCAAs
(particularly leucine) play an important role in stimulating protein
synthesis. The play a role in gaining and maintaining muscle mass –
especially in low calorie diets, but also as we age to prevent muscle
wasting. Muscles use BCAAs as an energy source
BCAAs
also play roles in other metabolic and physiologic processes
including the metabolism of glucose and play a role in obesity
through the increase of the oxidation of fatty acids, chronic loss of
appetite and brain support.
