Effectiveness

These BCAAs belong to the 2:1:1 ratio (in terms of leucine / iso-leucine / valine). They are used for the following purposes:

1. Muscle recovery after workouts. Leucine, iso-leucine, and valine are the 3 essential amino acids that make up most of the muscle. Therefore, consuming BCAAs allows for faster recovery.
2. Muscle preservation while cutting or losing weight. This is possible due to the same nuance mentioned above.
3. Muscle growth. However, BCAAs consist of only these 3 amino acids. Therefore, if you drink only them, it may not be effective. BCAAs work well for muscle growth in addition to a weight gainer.

How to Take

Here are the main rules for taking:

• Regardless of the number of workouts, it is better to take them every day.
• Take 1-2 times a day (depending on your financial capabilities). Since BCAAs are quite an expensive supplement. Once in the first half of the day, and another in the second.
• Taking before, after, or during a workout is not critical. Personally, I take them in the morning and after a workout (or in the evening).
• If you drink protein every day twice, then there is no need to separately buy BCAAs. Since whey protein typically contains 15-17% BCAAs.
• To achieve effects, the duration of intake should be at least a month.
• The maximum duration of intake is without restrictions. This means you can take them for a lifetime without breaks.

Daily Dosage:

• For weight up to 60 kg: 10 - 12 grams (if taken twice a day, then 5 - 6 grams at a time).
• For weight up to 80 kg: 12 - 16 grams (if taken twice a day, then 6 - 8 grams at a time).
• For weight up to 100 kg: 16 - 18 grams (if taken twice a day, then 8 - 9 grams at a time).
• For weight over 100 kg: 18 - 22 grams (if taken twice a day, then 9 - 11 grams at a time).

Naturally, all dosages are quite approximate. And they largely depend on your overall activity, the number of workouts, how much or little protein you eat from regular food, etc.

I advise you not to pay attention to the dosage indicated by the manufacturer. Manufacturers almost always underestimate dosages (sometimes by several times). This is done so that you think that you are getting a larger package that will last a long time. In such a case, you are much more likely to buy.
