BCAA’s

I know... you all were expecting a post about us being the best workout music in history and now here we are talking about recovery and BCAAs... BCAA's are actually SUPER important for recovery and give us a second... so when you're ready to hit pause on your workout music playlist and take a second to read, feel free to continue.


Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are one of the nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body and thus must be obtained from dietary sources. BCAAs are comprised of the three unique amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These three essential amino acids are responsible for up to 33% of muscle protein which is why they have become go-to supplements for athletes and bodybuilders. BCAAs have been studied extensively and are thought to have wide-ranging health benefits including improved exercise performance, reduced fatigue, increased muscle growth, improved cognitive function, and better recovery from exercise.

BCAAs are involved in a number of biochemical processes in the body. They help regulate protein synthesis, energy production, and can also act as an effective fuel source for muscles during exercise. BCAAs can help reduce fatigue by slowing the breakdown of muscle glycogen and increasing the release of serotonin and dopamine. This combination can help improve focus and mental clarity during exercise. BCAAs are also thought to reduce the risk of muscle soreness and injury by providing a steady source of energy and reducing inflammation.

BCAAs can also help increase muscle growth by increasing the activity of certain proteins involved in new muscle cell production. Studies have shown that consuming BCAAs both before and after exercise can increase protein synthesis and muscle growth. BCAAs can also help improve cognitive function by increasing the production of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, which plays a major role in cognition and memory.

In addition to the above benefits, BCAAs have been shown to improve recovery from exercise-related fatigue. BCAAs can help reduce the accumulation of toxins in the body and improve muscle soreness after exercise. They are also thought to reduce the risk of overtraining by providing an effective fuel source and reducing inflammation.

Overall, BCAAs are an important supplement for athletes, bodybuilders, and anyone looking to improve their exercise performance and recovery. BCAAs have been shown to have a wide range of health benefits including improved exercise performance, increased muscle growth, and improved cognitive function. They can also reduce fatigue, and muscle soreness, and help reduce the risk of overtraining. With all of these potential health benefits, BCAAs are an excellent way to help optimize performance and recovery.


Okay feel free to crank the volume, put your headphones back in and start the workout playlist again. We love the sweet sweet sound of the best workout music in history going into your ears. Almost like we're whispering sweet nothings in your ears only instead of sweet nothings, we are shouting to keep working harder.
