EAA vs BCAA| Which Is Better For Building Muscle, Improved Recovery And Performance?
In this video we are going to go over BCAA vs EAA supplements to determin which one is better for building muscle, improved recovery and performance. To do this we will go over what they are and compare the differences between the two to figure out if one has a slight edge over the other.
What are BCCA’s and EAA’s?
BCAA’s and EAA’s are essential amino acids. Our bodies 20 amino acids to function properly. But our bodies can only synthesize 11 of these on its own which are the non-essential amino acids and the other 9 are essential which is what you could classify as both EAA’s and BCAA’s. Amino acids serve as the building blocks of proteins in our body and are crucial for building muscle and helping to recover better after training because they reduce muscle break down by activating muscle protein synthesis helping to repair and rebuild muscle tissue.
What makes them different
The biggest difference between EAA’s and BCAA’s is in the essential amino acid profile.
EAA’s are comprised of all nine essential amino acids while BCAA’s are only the branched chain amino acids which are specifically only 3 of the 9 EAA’s. BCAA’s put a more concentrated focus on the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine which are the three of the 9 aino acids that are directly involved in muscle tissue regeneration and protein synthesis while EAA’s include the the three branched chain amino acids plus the other 6 essential amino acids as well giving you a more complete amino acid profile.
Which should you go with if your looking to supplement amino acids for building muscle, improved recovery and performance?
If you had to choose one or the other EAA’s are going to be in their affect on maximizing protein synthesis. Protein synthesis is what helps us decrease our muscle breakdown so that our bodies are constantly repairing and growing more muscle. Its been shown that for your body to maximize protein synthesis that you need all 9 essential EAA’s. Although BCAA’s contain the three most important EAA’s that stimulate protein synthesis those three alone cannot sustain the process enough for it to affect your muscle growth and recovery. Which is why EAA’s will be your best bet if you want to supplement amino acids for the goal of building muscle, better recovery and performance in your training.
