Compared to what?
Compared to taking nothing, sure they will help.
Compared to taking protein, ehh not so clear here.
My point is not compared to protein, my point is IF BCAAs are useless. Like I said before, its not
an issue of BCAAs vs Protein. I said in another thread a few days ago, if I do not do anything
I need to change the way people see BCAAs. They are a supplement, not protein. Protein is
like a food. So the reason why I use the Arginine comparison is, it is an amino acid that has
a place as a supplement. Taurine is an amino acid that has a place as a supplement. The
"just eat more protein" is what I am trying to get people away from with BCAAs. Another one
is carnitine. Carnitine has very beneficial effects when taking around a workout to reduce CK
and this other muscle damaging enzyme LDH. I wouldn't say just eat more protein for the benefits
of carnitine, arginine and also BCAAs.
