Supplements should never replace nutrition from healthful foods, but by including the ones your body needs, along with a regular training regime at utime Fitness Studios, you’ll hit your fitness goals much faster! In this article we are going to cover Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and Glutamine, if you are interested in Protein supplements, please see our previous article here.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine (BCAAs) are amino acids that your body cannot naturally synthesize. But BCAAs are likely already a part of your diet as they are found in foods high in protein.  BCAAs possess many benefits for anyone who wants to build muscle. When taken during gym training, they can improve your performance and assist in a swifter recovery. BCAAs may also reduce muscle breakdown (catabolism), likely leading to increased total muscle growth.

In short the benefits of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) include:

• Increased energy
• Build and increase protein synthesis
• Raise strength and power
• Increased total muscle growth

Glutamine

For faster training without needing long recovery periods use a supplement with glutamine. Glutamine is an adaptogenic amino acid found in protein, and is the most abundant amino acid in muscle comprising of 61% of the total mass. Glutamine also ensures a robust immune system and general wellbeing. Glutamine is particularly beneficial after workouts because it has the ability to resynthesize muscle glycogen and glutamine levels lost during your workout without releasing insulin. This is why glutamine is good for training hard, without needing extended recovery time, or for people on a low-carb diet. A longer recovery time results in a longer time needed to reach your fitness goals. Start supplementing with glutamine! Some dietary sources include protein foods like fish, beef, chicken, dairy products, beans, beets, and cabbage.

In short the benefits of Glutamine include:

• Increased muscle growth
• Reduced muscle catabolism -- catabolism is the wasting of lean muscle tissue
• Normal, healthy immune system function
• Gut health
