What are EAAs - Essential Amino Acids?

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) are the nine amino acids (Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine) that the human body cannot produce and must be obtained from food or supplements. This group includes all three BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine). Recent science confirms that EAAs are the absolute requirement for stimulating muscle protein synthesis(MPS); non-essential aminos (NEAAs) do not directly contribute to this trigger.

Evidence-Based Role in Muscle Physiology:

EAA Supplementation Protocol for Recovery & Anti-Catabolism

Updated Science & Superiority for Muscle Growth:

Landmark research from the last 5 years solidifies EAAs as the most efficient substrate for muscle repair and growth:

Who needs them and what are the benefits?

Recommended Usage & Nutritional Facts:

Disclaimer: As with all supplements, follow the manufacturer's directions and consult a qualified healthcare professional before use, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are taking medication.

Conclusion & Clinical Note: Supplemental BCAAs serve a specific, anti-catabolic, and ergogenic role, particularly under metabolic stress (Intra-Workout). In contrast, EAAs represent the most efficient and complete nutritional intervention for directly stimulating muscle protein anabolism (Post-Workout). The choice between them should be guided by specific physiological goals: BCAAs for performance and muscle sparing during stress; EAAs for maximal muscle protein synthesis and repair.
