About Old School Labs Classic BCAA 2:1:1 - Branched-Chain
Who is Classic BCAA ideal for? Classic BCAA can be used by anyone who is striving to build or preserve lean muscle or enhance their ability to recover from workouts. It is especially helpful for so-called “hard gainers” (i.e. individuals who have an especially hard time gaining and/or retaining muscle), athletes who are in a heavy period of training (e.g. prolonged or twice-a-day workouts), and anyone who is on a carbohydrate- or calorie-restricted diet (e.g. keto) in which case there is an increased risk of losing lean muscle. How should I use it? There are essentially two ways to supplement with BCAAs. Method 1: Take them in between meals. Most meals contain at least some protein, which means they contain at least some BCAAs. Thus, after eating a protein-containing meal, your blood BCAA level rises, as does muscle protein synthesis. This is good news from a muscle-building standpoint. Eventually, however, your blood BCAA level starts to fall, as does muscle protein synthesis. The idea behind supplementing with BCAAs in between meals is to prevent this. Over time, this is believed to encourage greater gains in lean muscle and enhance recovery. Method 2: Take them with meals. The idea behind taking BCAAs with a meal is to “maximize” muscle protein synthesis, just in case the meal itself wasn’t enough (i.e. it didn’t contain enough BCAAs) to do so. Which method is best, 1 or 2? Both can work, though we think Method 1 makes the most sense.
