BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids)
Leucine, isoleucine, valine; primarily support protein synthesis & reduce exercise-induced muscle soreness. Less useful if protein intake is adequate.
Competes with tryptophan and tyrosine for brain uptake — may reduce serotonin/dopamine precursor availability at very high doses
Context: very high or unbalanced intake
Largely redundant if total dietary protein is adequate (>1.6g/kg/day) — unlikely to add meaningful benefit
Reduce DOMS & muscle damage markers; protein synthesis benefit is marginal vs adequate total protein intake.
