Taking an EAA Supplement before, during or after your workout can produce an increase in Protein Synthesis that may create a positive protein balance and result in a muscle building (anabolic) state that allows you to recover and build muscle more easily. Essential Amino Acid Supplements are made of specific Amino Acids that are considered Essential. Of the 20 Amino Acids, 9 are considered Essential with Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine – the BCAAs – being amongst the most well known EAAs.The body cannot produce EAA on its own and need to be taken in from food/supplementation. Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, they are crucial in the synthesis of muscle growth and prevention of muscle catabolism.
