The powdered Bcaa represent a quick and easy way to get branched chain amino acids. The main peculiarities of this type of products certainly concern the timing of assimilation (absorb quickly after ingestion) and the almost total absence of excipients (degree of purity), compounds without any nutritional contribution that are usually used in tablets to "bind" the active ingredients during compression (process of transformation of the raw material). Although harmless to health, these additives inevitably affect the dosage / concentration ratio of the active ingredient. In simpler words, for the same dosage consumed, powders contain more BCAAs than capsules and tablets.
The function of this type of supplement is the same as all other forms of Bcaa: buffer the catabolic processes (muscle damage induced by physical exercise), muscle energy supply in case of depletion of glycogen stocks as well as activation and incentive for protein synthesis.
All benefits that have a direct impact on the physical capacity for recovery and in terms of increase in muscle mass.
The dosage does not change here either; 1 gram of active ingredient per kilogram of body weight to be divided between before, during and immediately after training.
The best powdered Bcaa display the Kyowa brand (leading company in the production of pharmaceutical amino acids) and are Instant, which is instantly soluble. Unlike a few years ago, in fact, nowadays powders subjected to fermentation and micronization are marketed which are immediately dispersed in contact with water or other liquid. In addition to neutral powders for supplement "purists", it is in fact possible to buy pleasant and thirst-quenching flavored products, like a normal one energy drink.
No more dense lumps that do not dissolve but only super soluble Bcaa powder, produced by the best international sports nutrition brands.
