What About Amino Acids Supplements like BCAAs, Glutamine, Leucine, and More???

There are a lot of sports supplements that are just extractions of amino acids found in protein, and some of the major ones are:

L-Glutamine
All three BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine)
HMB and Leucic acid (both metabolites of leucine)
These amino acids are great and all, but you don’t need to supplement them if you ingest enough protein. This is because the protein you are taking will give you more than enough glutamine and BCAAs, and leucine will convert into its metabolites in your body.

Still, there are some other amino acids to consider:

Some amino acids, like l-carnitine and taurine, are not highly present in protein and so supplementation could still be considered despite high dietary protein intake.
HMB for the specific purpose of anti-catabolism is apparently 20-fold more potent than leucine, so a 3g dosage of HMB is as anti-catabolic as 60g leucine. HMB can be a very useful supplement when cutting.
The supplements mentioned earlier can be useful as supplements if your diet has gone down the toilet.

Are You Eating Enough Protein To Build Muscle?


When it comes to building some serious muscle, all that work you do in the gym is only half of the battle. The other half takes place in the kitchen. Diet is extremely important when trying to improve your body composition. Without proper nutrients, no matter how much time you spend weight training, you won’t get the results you’re looking for.

Your muscles are made up of over 25% protein (a very significant amount!) along with up to 75% water and stored glycogen (carbohydrates). While people generally understand that consuming adequate protein is very important to support muscle growth and maintain lean mass, the amount of protein to consume becomes the tricky part.
