What are BCAAs for?

BCAAs are the most abundant amino acids stored in our muscles and include leucine, valine, and isoleucine. The common reason for taking BCAAs is that when you take BCAAs during exercise and the recovery period, they can be oxidized in your muscles to provide extra energy for exercise and recovery. However, there is limited scientific evidence to prove if these claims are valid or not. Only very few studies have proven that after taking BCAAs supplements, the cognitive functions of individuals have been improved.
