BCAAs (particularly leucine) play an important role in stimulation protein synthesis. They play a role in gaining and maintaining muscle mass-especially in low calorie diets, but also as we age to prevent muscle wasting. Muscles use BCAAs as an energy source. Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) consist of three amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine, and are among the nine essential amino acids - those amino acids that are not produced within the body and must be obtained through the diet or supplementation.
BCAAs also play roles in other metabolic and physiologic processes including the metabolism of glucose and play a role in obesity through the increase of the oxidation of fatty acids, chronic loss of appetite and brain support.
