Ergogenic evidence tier C BCAAs redundant protein notes branched chains add little when total protein already hits one point six grams per kilogram from food.
Ergogenic evidence tier C BCAAs redundant protein notes branched chains add little when total protein already hits one point six grams per kilogram from food. Calorie deficit and fasted training myths keep BCAA sales alive—whole protein beats isolated leucine for most.
Cash better spent on creatine or food. Vegans low on leucine may differ—check totals first.
