So maybe stop using that BCAA supplement?
- FartyMcFarter 3y agoThese days BCAAs have the reputation of being pretty useless anyway, unless your diet is very poor. You get enough BCAAs from complete protein sources.
- treprinum 3y agoLook up the AXA1125 for non-fatty liver disease and see how BCAA with a bunch of other amino acids (arginine, NAC, glutamine) gets your liver and mitochondria back in shape.
- FartyMcFarter 3y agoI didn't know about that, to clarify I meant for people using it to build muscle.
- seec 3y agoI just started using it out of curiosity and I have to say it does seem to improve recovery and building. I don't know if I'm hallucinating yet (just about a week in) but something has changed for sure and that's not confirmation bias (measurable on the bioimpedance meter) Putting muscle mass is not my priority as I am mostly a runner, but I do swim too and upper body strength makes a good difference there. So, I would rather not lose whatever I build and make it easier to maintain... My diet isn't very high in animal products most of the time which may be the reason. But between vegan doomerism and the price of quality meat it's not easy to find a balance...
