Why You Should Use EAAs NOT BCAAs

In this video I go over why you should be using EAAs not BCAAs. I go into two different studies about the effects of EAAs and how they are much grater then BCAAs. Please ask any questions you need on this topic int he comment section below.
BCAA: A branched-chain amino acid is an amino acid having aliphatic side-chains with a branch. Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine and valine. Non-proteinogenic BCAAs include 2-aminoisobutyric acid.
EAA: Essential amino acid
An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized de novo by the organism, and thus must be supplied in its diet. The nine amino acids humans cannot synthesize are phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and histidine

@@brbjk.m.846 I don't disagree that it would be better to use EAAs instead, although there is some very technical data to suggest that BCAAs alone may have certain advantages, and that stacking EAA's with even more BCAA's or leucine can give greater effects. Anyway, I've become a big believer in BCAA's. It's a great intra-workout supplement for people like me that aren't big eaters. They are cheaper and more available than EAA's, I can't consider them a scam anymore than whey protein.

[@thatguynicky1979]

Holy crap, thank you! I started taking BCAAs in January, and the results I was feeling was great, at first. After 4 different products, I was looking for something better bc I was starting to feel like nothing was happening anymore. I was at the store talking to them about this and they suggested REAAL (which is an EAA, but until now I didn't catch the difference). It was the most expensive one yet, but I got a discount on it and since I'm still trying things out, I decided to just go with it. These were great, most improvement yet! No Preworkout, just EAA, and power thru (and even increased energy the more sets I do!), the performance is impressive! Thanx for this info, bc now this all makes sense for me. The BCAAs help me more than not, but the EAAs are the true winner for my peak performance!

[@teojoni2311]

Do u take BCAA along with EAA or just EAA alone? What is the brand of the EAA that u are taking if u don't mind? Do u think it is better to take BCAA+EAA or just EAA?

[@thatguynicky1979]

@@teojoni2311 The EAA is called "REAAL" Its typically $40+ at Vitamin Shoppe, but as of writing my comment, VS has discontinued selling it. I asked and they were careful to answer, but the gist of it was that it was too expensive and they just weren't selling enough of it to keep it in stock (not sure about VS online or locations). I really like the results (so far) from REAAL, and the KONA Dragonfruit flavor is tasty good! The upshot in my case was that they discounted the REAAL because they went on clearance. I don't take both BCAA+EAAs. I've been finding thru research that the EAAs have more potential for my goals, but there is so much propaganda out there that it's def confusing. However, sometimes i'll stack in some preworkout (C4) before the gym and I'll drink the EAAs intra and then also post workout (so like 3 scoops a day). This combo has given me the most of my muscles and less sore, and I'm starting my work outs with my old maxes now, so I'm impressed, honestly, as I'm not doing much else but eating as much protein as my body craves, thats it!

[@gokulnath227]

Thanks for everything man...will miss you always.. ❤️

[@artv4nd3l4y]

Great video and information. Other BCAA studies have shown how pure leucine alone wasn't as beneficial when compared with valine and iso-leucine included. Following that logic, it makes sense that you simply need all EAAs to fully maximize protein synthesis. "Using BCAA's alone are like turning on the ignition with no gas in the tank." That's a good one, John is definitely one of the best coaches around.

Great info, I read the study by Robert Wolfe a few weeks ago. Another interesting find was this "For example, the addition of 5 g of BCAAs to a beverage containing 6.25 g whey protein increased muscle protein synthesis to a level comparable to that induced by 25 g of whey protein." So bcaa's can be handy when you can't get a full meal in.

[@mountaindog1]

yes, but who only consumes 6.25 grams of whey in a drink? I do agree with you though, I just think that data is not very relevant (but solid)

[@craig4life0678]

lol, not sure but I use the same principal with my snacks, if i have a bar or a low protein meal at work or something ill just mix bcaas to get the same effect to hold me over until I can eat a solid meal. Whey doesnt agress with me, even isolate but most people could easily just have 20-30g of whey instead of buying bcaas.

Hello John, I'm an ectomorph, toothpick body type. I've noticed that bcaa's work really good for me ONLY when I eat enough protein from food. However, I've also noticed that it gives me a slight hyperthyroid issue (I feel hyper and lose a bit of weight as a result) when I don't eat enough and do too much in the day and not eat enough calories in general (really hard as an ectomorth to eat enough, friggin sux!). Looks like I'll be switching to eaa's asap. I had a hunch about this long time ago, that eaa's are superior to bcaa's. Thanks to this video and actual research with actual people, I'm now confident that bcaa's were only part of the equation for achieving illusive anabolism all ecto's need, thus using eaa's to get these results is the best way to prevent muscle loss even under heavy aerobic exercise, you will NOT lose a single gram of muscle mass.

Hey John, my wife and I love your EAA product, and the content that you provide for free to all of us. Was wondering if it be ok to drink a serving of the EAA's throughout the day (in a gallon of water), or if that just be a waste? I still sip on the same gallon of water with the EAA's during my training, just wanted your input, since I've seen people in the past supplement with BCAA's and sip on that throughout the day. Thanks again John!

I think it's kind of a waste honestly...

I tried BCCA for while it was ok but i got tha EAA i can't wait to try it man

Thanks for the info John. I understand the various arguments for bcaa and eaa but if a person agrees with the 'all eaa required' model why not simply use a decent whey / protein supplement drink which contain the complete protein profile?

[@mountaindog1]

im not a fan of drinking whey while training,and the digestion it requires,where as aminos can essentially get right into blood from stomach and into muscle...

[@PFPGymExeter]

Thanks for reply. Makes sense!

Is gross congestion from high amount of EAA during workout?
