Bcaa ratio

[fame126]

Im confused, can someone tell me what is the best ratio, what it means, and why. I wanna buy some powder and am looking into usp's modern bcaa. Your thoughts?

 

[R1balla]

honestly, i dont see any difference in any ratio. im currently using 2:1:1 iBCAA by Primordial Performance. I have used Body Mortar which is 4:1:1. thats as high as i will go.

I'd stick to the normal ratio: get bulk + crystal light or just xtend

 

[WhatsaRoid?]

Get the cheapest one, it all does the same thing.

I've seen all the way up to 12:1:1, which ends up being practically straight leucine. Last I saw, 2:1:1 is high enough to spike mTOR levels, so I stick with either that 4:1:1, which is the highest I will go personally, if I incorporate any at all.

This has been quite the topic of discussion this week

If you get adequate protein intake, I reckon BCAAs are needed, but I still have some once in a while and they do taste nice

I bought bulk BCAA and Leucine so now I can use the ratio I decide... 5:1:1 just to be different

They should most certainly still enhance protein synthesis

Just above adequate protein intake will retain calcium in the body too for bones. Strong bones, strong training, strong apatite = lots of good things

i mix iBCAA with crystal light and your good to go

I prefer EAAs:

Leucine:
- Primary anabolic trigger
- Enhance recovery
- Optimize hormone levels

Valine:
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Nitrogen balance
- Anti-inflammatory
- Analgesic

Isoleucine:
- Energy
- Recovery
- Glucose production
- Hormones

Lysine:
- Beta-oxidation
- Nitrogen balance
- Calcium absorption
- Energy

Arginine:
- Vasodilator
- Nutrient delivery
- Anti-Catabolic

Histidine:
- Vasodilator
- Sexual function

Threonine:
- Nutrient uptake
- Immune system

Methionine:
- Enhance metabolism
- Energy
- Mood
- Antioxidant

Phenylalanine:
- Energy
- Hormones
- Mood

I prefer EAAs:

Yup!

I think EAAs are very underrated. I wish there more options for a good EAA mix.
