Do BCAA really help in retaining muscle?

Looking to lose 100 pounds. Will bcaa help retain muscle mass? I know that's what I'm reading but does it really work?

I am using extend for fasted pre workout - have the same question you do. The BCAA's do, I think, help in the volume dept when diet sometimes makes muscles feel deflated. My 2 cents. I am on my way to losing 100 LBS and trying to preserve my slabs of old powerlifting muscle - good luck!

I notice the difference to when I am using BCAAs to when I am not.

I use at least six scoops of RecoverPRO daily, timing as required (between and with meals, etc.). Check out my 2012 log for more information on my supplementation.

Same here big time. I believe it is an Essential to anyone's stack.
