The Real Difference Between EAA and BCAA

Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. Every amino acid has the same basic structure with a special “customized” side chain. The side chain gives each amino acid unique properties.

Our bodies use 22 different amino to build all the protein in your body: everything from enzymes to fingernails to muscle.

Of these 22, there are 8 that we cannot make on our own. We must get them from our diet. These are called Essential Amino Acids.

Of these 8 essential amino acids, 3 of them have a side chain called a “branched chain.” These are BCAAs.

What’s so Great About a Branched Chain?

These 3 amino acids became famous because they are processed directly in muscle tissue.

But while this makes BCAAs useful fuel during a workout which prevents muscle breakdown, they fall short of the full benefits of using amino acids. They rely exclusively on the catabolic pathway, the “fuel pathway.” As a fuel, users can “notice”, “feel” and effect from BCAAs and equate that with effectiveness, but they are quite ineffective for building or repairing anything in the body.

Without the rest of the essential amino acids, it is impossible to build muscle tissue with BCAAs.

Your cells don't’ have the right ingredients.

To go anabolic (Building as opposed to fueling), you need all 8 EAAs

How to go Anabolic During Your Workout To Build & Repair

Many amino acid products on the market utilize solely BCAAs, but what the BCAA marketing machine doesn’t tell you is that all essential amino acids, not just BCAAs can be processed directly in muscle tissue.

With all 8 essential amino acids, you activate the anabolic pathway. You can build and repair muscle during the workout instead of merely preventing breakdown with BCAAs.

Even in the middle of a race, in the middle of cycling, in the middle of a run or swim or in the middle of a competition.

EAAs induce “active recovery” – which means even greater results from your workout, less damage to your tissue, and overall better health.

The Trinity of Optimal Performance: EAAs, Fasting and Hormones

The benefits of EAAs don't’ stop there. You can take it one step further.

Many studies have shown massive benefits by working out in a fasted state (On an empty stomach). This stimulates the natural production of powerful hormones which lead to even greater results in your training.

Instead of hitting a wall or shutting down from tissue damage and lack of fuel, you can dig deeper, go farther push harder, and recover faster.

Because EAAs are processed directly in tissue, they do not raise blood levels. PerfectAmino has only 4 calories per serving, so you remain in a fasted state. This gives you the best of both worlds: active recovery with anabolic EAAs PLUS increased hormone production for maximum sustained benefits.
