Should I Buy PhD Nutrition BCAA's?
BCAA’s are Branched Chain Amino Acids consisting of 3 essential amino acids leucine, iso-leucine, and valine. They are considered essential amino acids because human beings cannot survive unless these amino acids are present in the diet. Together they comprise approximately 1/3 of human muscle tissue. Studies have shown that BCAA's help to stimulate protein synthesis and inhibit its breakdown, so BCAA's have powerful anabolic and anti-catabolic effects on the body.
PhD Nutrition BCAA’s, the exciting first product in the brand new “Recovery range” have been designed to the specific 2:1:1 ratio required to optimise the effects of Leucine, the most important of the three BCAA’s.
Muscle protein synthesis (muscle growth and production)
PhD BCAA’s are vital to protein synthesis (the ability to build muscle) and also vital in reducing muscle damage. Vitally, when we workout strenuously with weights, we oxidise amino acids (use them to fuel our training). BCAA oxidisation is rapidly promoted by exercise, so when we train hard, we use BCAA’s. If we do not replace or keep topping these BCAA’s up before, during and after exercise, we run the risk of increasing muscle damage indicators Creatine Kinease (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and missing the opportunity of recovering in the optimum time. Slow recovery means slow progression, fast recovery equals faster progression, it’s a simple equation.
Managing workout muscular stress and recovery
One of the reasons athletes fail to increase lean muscle size is down to their inability to manage workout stress and recovery. Studies show that intense training increases the presence of muscle damage indicators (CK and LDH). With high plasma concentrations of CK and LDH, we cannot recover quickly and effectively (if we can’t recover, we can’t build muscle, get quicker, stronger or more powerful).
BCAA supplementation before and after exercise has beneficial effects for decreasing exercise-induced muscle damage and promoting muscle-protein synthesis; this suggests the possibility that BCAAs are a useful supplement in relation to exercise and sports.

| Usage | Due to the strong and potent formula of Maximuscle Maxipower, the product can be an acquired taste. The following mixing instructions however will ensure a good tasting formula, which will deliver the same, if not better excellent results. Add 1 serving of Maxipower to a 1000ml Maximuscle water bottle along with 350ml of normal orange juice and 350ml of water. Shake well and drink 20 mins before training or sip before and during training. The 700ml of liquid will provide an isotonic solution, allowing easier digestion and make for a superior tasting product, which will enhance your training intensity. |
