BCAA stands for branched-chain amino acids. These key nutrients help the muscles in your body to cope with exercise and recover afterwards.
If you want to feel less tired and sore after workouts, you may find that BCAA supplements can help with this. Most of us already get lots of branched-chain amino acids from the foods we eat (eggs, milk, legumes and certain meats are all good sources of BCAAs) but many bodybuilders take BCAA supplements alongside a balanced diet to give their muscles that extra bit of help.
