EuphoriaMaxx BCAA contains a balance of Branch Chain Amino Acids, which are building blocks of muscles. Euphoriamaxx BCAA may improve nitrogen retention by sparing other amino acids group for repair.
 
There are 20 different amino acids that make up the thousands of different proteins in the human body. 
 
Nine of the 20 are considered essential amino acids, meaning they cannot be made by your body and must be obtained through your diet. 
 
Of the nine essential amino acids, three are the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine and valine.
 
“Branched-chain” refers to the chemical structure of BCAAs, which are found in protein-rich foods such as eggs, meat and dairy products. They are also a popular dietary supplement sold primarily in powder form.
 
Here are five proven benefits of BCAAs.
 
 
1. Increase Muscle Growth
 
One of the most popular uses of BCAAs is to increase muscle growth.
The BCAA leucine activates a certain pathway in the body that stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is the process of making muscle .
 
In one study, people who consumed  BCAAs after their resistance workout had a 22% greater increase in muscle protein synthesis compared to those who consumed a placebo.
 
BCAAs play an important role in building muscle. 
 
2. Decrease Muscle Soreness
Some research suggests BCAAs can help decrease muscle soreness after a workout.
It’s not uncommon to feel sore a day or two after a workout, especially if your exercise routine is new.
 
This soreness is called delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), which develops 12 to 24 hours after exercise and can last up to 72 hours.
 
While the exact cause of DOMS is not clearly understood, researchers believe it’s the result of tiny tears in the muscles after exercise.
 
BCAAs have been shown to decrease muscle damage, which may help reduce the length and severity of DOMS.
 
Several studies show that BCAAs decrease protein breakdown during exercise and decrease levels of creatine kinase, which is an indicator of muscle damage.
 
In one study, people who supplemented with BCAAs before a squat exercise experienced reduced DOMS and muscle fatigue compared to the placebo group.
 
Therefore, supplementing with BCAAs, especially before exercise, may speed up recovery time. 
 
Supplementing with BCAAs may decrease muscle soreness by reducing damage in exercised muscles. 
 
3. Reduce Exercise Fatigue
Just as BCAAs may help decrease muscle soreness from exercise, they may also help reduce exercise-induced fatigue.
 
Everyone experiences fatigue and exhaustion from exercise at some point. How quickly you tire depends on several factors, including exercise intensity and duration, environmental conditions and your nutrition and fitness level.
 
Your muscles use BCAAs during exercise, causing levels in your blood to decrease. When blood levels of BCAAs decline, levels of the essential amino acid tryptophan in your brain increase. 
 
In your brain, tryptophan is converted to serotonin, a brain chemical that is thought to contribute to the development of fatigue during exercise.
 
In two studies, participants who supplemented with BCAAs improved their mental focus during exercise, which is thought to result from the fatigue-reducing effect of BCAAs.
 
BCAAs may be useful in decreasing exercise-induced fatigue.
 
4. Prevent Muscle Wasting
BCAAs can help prevent muscle wasting or breakdown.
Muscle proteins are constantly broken down and rebuilt (synthesized). The balance between muscle protein breakdown and synthesis determines the amount of protein in muscle.
 
Muscle wasting or breakdown occurs when protein breakdown exceeds muscle protein synthesis.
 
Muscle wasting is a sign of malnutrition and occurs with chronic infections, cancer, periods of fasting and as a natural part of the aging process.
 
In humans, BCAAs account for 35% of the essential amino acids found in muscle proteins. They account for 40% of the total amino acids required by your body.
Therefore, it’s important that the BCAAs and other essential amino acids are replaced during times of muscle wasting to halt it or to slow its progression.
 
Several studies support the use of BCAA supplements for inhibiting muscle protein breakdown. This may improve health outcomes and quality of living in certain populations, such as the elderly and those with wasting diseases like cancer.
 
Taking BCAA supplements can prevent the breakdown of protein in certain populations with muscle wasting.
 
5. Benefit People With Liver Disease
BCAAs may improve health in people with cirrhosis, a chronic disease in which the liver does not function properly.
 
It’s estimated that 50% of people with cirrhosis will develop hepatic encephalopathy, which is the loss of brain function that occurs when the liver is unable to remove toxins from the blood.
 
While certain sugars and antibiotics are the mainstays of treatment for hepatic encephalopathy, BCAAs may also benefit people suffering from the disease.
 
One review of 16 studies including 827 people with hepatic encephalopathy found that taking BCAA supplements had a beneficial effect on the symptoms and signs of the disease, but had no effect on mortality.
 
Liver cirrhosis is also a major risk factor for the development of hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer, for which BCAA supplements may also be useful.
 
Several studies have shown that taking BCAA supplements may offer protection against liver cancer in people with liver cirrhosis. 
 
As such, scientific authorities recommend these supplements as a nutritional intervention for liver disease to prevent complications.
