What are BCAAs?

BCAAs are essential branched-chain amino acids that include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are called "essential" because the body cannot synthesize them, so they must be obtained through diet or supplements. They are found in our diet, particularly in animal and plant proteins.

BCAAs, or branched chain amino acids, are essential for protein synthesis , thus promoting muscle growth and recovery.

During intense workouts, BCAAs act as an immediate source of energy , reducing muscle fatigue and improving endurance. They also help prevent muscle catabolism, which means your muscles remain protected during prolonged exercise.

By consuming BCAAs, you can therefore reduce muscle fatigue, improve endurance and prevent muscle breakdown.

Our BCAA 4.1.1 formula is enriched with citrulline, increasing the delivery of oxygen and essential nutrients during exercise.

BCAA 4.1.1

  • Muscle Growth Stimulation: BCAAs, especially leucine, are known for their essential role in protein synthesis, thus promoting the development of lean muscle mass.

  • Promotes faster recovery after training: It helps reduce muscle damage and inflammation, allowing you to recover faster from your intense workouts.

  • Quickly mobilizable energy source: it gives you an instant energy boost, allowing you to maintain your intensity throughout your workout.

What does 4.1.1 mean?

The 4.1.1 ratio means that there are four parts leucine to one part isoleucine and one part valine. Leucine is particularly important for protein synthesis and muscle growth.

For a dose of 10 g we therefore find:

  • 4009 mg of leucine for protein synthesis
  • 1000 mg of isoleucine, a source of energy for muscles 
  • 1000 mg of valine which repairs muscle tissue

In addition to these 3 essential amino acids, the formula contains 500 mg of citrulline , which is not found in all BCAAs on the market.

There are different amino acid ratios on the market. At Squad Nutrition, we've chosen to offer you a 4.1.1 ratio because it's the most optimal and best consumed and assimilated by our muscles, leucine being the most important amino acid for muscle anabolism. Without this amino acid, it's difficult to build muscle.

The role of BCAAs

  • BCAAs, especially leucine, play a crucial role in stimulating muscle protein synthesis , thereby promoting muscle growth and repair
  • Sustained energy source during prolonged exercise, thus delaying fatigue and improving performance
  • Help reduce the feeling of fatigue during training
  • Citrulline helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance during exercise and increase muscle pumping

Why consume BCAAs?

BCAAs are a smart choice for athletes, especially bodybuilders looking to maximize their performance and recovery. Our exclusive 4:1:1 ratio formula, enriched with leucine and citrulline, offers significant benefits for your training and recovery.

BCAAs play a key role in preserving muscle mass , which is essential for athletes looking to maximize their muscle growth. Leucine, in particular, stimulates protein synthesis, thus promoting lean muscle growth.

During intense workouts, muscle fibers are broken down. BCAAs therefore act as an immediate source of energy, reducing muscle fatigue, improving endurance, and promoting anabolism, i.e., muscle building, as opposed to catabolism.

They are also used to reduce fatigue and stress , and may even help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about our BCAA 4.1.1 Squad Nutrition

1. When is the best time to consume BCAAs?

Our citrulline-enriched formula increases oxygen and nutrient delivery during exercise, promoting muscle pump. Therefore, we recommend consuming our BCAAs around training, but it would be best to consume them during workouts.
2. Do BCAAs help you lose weight?

BCAAs are amino acids, and none of them actually help with weight loss.

However, this doesn't mean they're useless during a cutting phase. Indeed, when you're following a low-calorie diet, it's difficult to maintain muscle mass and performance in the gym.

Used as an energy source during exercise, these amino acids will help maintain intense training despite dieting. Additionally, by facilitating recovery, BCAA consumption contributes to muscle preservation. This effect is further enhanced if combined with a protein source after a workout, to optimize post-workout protein synthesis.
3. Are BCAAs dangerous for your health?

Our BCAAs pose no risk to your health. BCAAs are essential components found naturally in many protein-rich foods, such as meat, eggs, and dairy products.

They are crucial for muscle recovery, growth and maintenance of muscle tissue, as well as nitrogen balance in the body.

The important thing is to respect the dosage of 10g daily to be consumed around training.
4. Who can consume BCAAs?

BCAAs can be consumed by anyone who practices physical activity, whether they are casual exercisers or more regular athletes. They are particularly useful for those who do intensive training, weight training, or endurance sports, as they aid in recovery and reduce muscle fatigue. However, if your diet is already rich in protein, BCAAs are not necessarily essential. However, if you want to maximize your chances and optimize all parameters, we strongly recommend their consumption, but it may be useful to consult a healthcare professional or nutritionist before consuming them.
