Taking Xtend during time off--help recovery?

[lboston]

So, I bought some Scivation Xtend and used one serving--then I hurt my back pretty bad at the gym. PT and chiro both say I need to take some time off training. I am not wanting to, but I'm probably going to take a couple weeks off.

Could taking these BCAAs while recovering possibly keep muscle loss to a minimum?

They may or may not; there is not enough research on BCAAs and body composition. I think if you eat at maintenance or even a 100 calorie surplus with a high protein diet, you will be fine.
