7/26/2023 0 Comments Bcaa post workout vox nutritionEven though whey protein is relatively fast digesting, it still takes several hours for all the amino acids to be liberated & absorbed into the bloodstream. The BCAAs in whey are peptide bound to other amino acids and must be liberated through digestion & absorbed into the bloodstream to exert their effects. Here is an excerpt from an article I wroteĭespite the numerous positive benefits to BCAA supplementation, there are many skeptics who suggest that BCAAs are overpriced and that one can just increase their consumption of whey protein which is rich in BCAAs. So what’s the advantages of BCAA during your workout or some BCAA midnight in comparison to a blended protein shake. When you eat a balanced meal 1 to 2 hours before your workout and about an half our before a whey shake with oats you have plenty of BCAA in your nutrition that helps to combat protein breakdown. But I don’t understand why someone needs it if they eat proper nutrion pre en post workout. I am reading quite a few positive reviews about BCAAs. I space out my BCAA like thisĥg when i wake up to pee during the night lol Sure you can combine them, would work well. of bcaa fluid seems like a bunch of fluid at one time. of post workout whey protein (ON), maltodextrin, and creatine. That stuff tastes like Cool Aid! By a recommendation I was told to drink it during my workout, But the directions say immediately post workout. I just started taking Xtend (grape flavor). When is the best time to supplement with them? I.e. Layne, since we’re on the subject of bcaa’s. Leucine is what stimulates protein synthesis but isoleucine also stimulates glucose uptake, so it does have benefits, but if you are on a budget pure leucine will work fine Supposedly, leucine is the powerhouse of the 3 bcaa’s, is there any need to supplement with the other 2 ? I’m stripped for cash as a college student and plain Leucine would be cheaper then taking bcaa’s altogether ( the 3 aminos) but do not want to create an imbalance etc… On Counting BCAA towards Protein requirement:īut you personally do not count the BCAAs towards your protein count, you take them on top of your 1g/pound bodyweight protein, correct? BCAAs will cause insulin secretion, read my post above yours in this thread. The reason it is listed as 0 is because they FDA will not allow a company to list free form amino acids as having calories which is absolutely asinine. It has 5g of amino acids per scoop which is 4kcal/gram = 20 total kcals per scoop. I am working with Dave, following a ketogenic diet and am a big fan of the Xtend product which I use during my workouts! I am getting confusing messages about it’s calorie content! I had believed it was 0 but now not quite so sure! What is your take on it & also would it cause insulin secretion at all? On Caloric Value of Xtend/ BCAA effect on insulin I have 5g BCAA between each meal i have about 4-6 meals per day so that’s about 30g bcaa/day Layne, is it necessary to take a high glycemic carbohydrate source when you take your BCAA’s? Or will they get absorbed without em? I am at 160lbs, do you think 15 grams is about the right amount for my bodyweight? I assume powder is best for the quickest absorption? You would think that more people would be doing this. And yes the reason I like free form bcaas is because they spike plasma BCAA levels to a much greater extent than whey. The others are needed as substrates but if you are eating like a typical bodybuilder (every 2-3 hours) then you will have AMPLE levels of all the other amino acids and BCAAs alone will be sufficient. The BCAAs in particular leucine are the amino acids responsible for stimulating protein synthesis… not the others. I think you are saying that whey may be better since it has all the aminos. I know you follow this up with a whole meal about an hour later, but why do you feel this is more beneficial than say getting a whey protein that is a complete protein that has a good BCAA profile post workout? Do the BCAA’s lead to greater/faster protein synthesis than whey? Was curious, while listening to MDR and your conversations (which were awesome by the way, great for us “Natties” to get some exposure) you mentioned you use 15-20 gms of BCAA post workout.
