Do BcAA’s work?

[Davy25]

Im sure this has been debated time and time again but its ahrd to find a thread on it. What is the 2018 consensus? Do they work for preventing catabolism/ increase protein synthesis?

Particularly asking in an instance where alcohol is consumed.

As far as I know BCAAs don't increase protein synthesis, but EAAs do.

They work well if taken combined with a full amino profile in scenarios that you are concerned with calorie restriction

dont think they will counter act the negative effects of booze tho.... stop drinking. lol
