Why add amino acids?; Good product to try

BCAAs are essential nutrients that support muscle metabolism. They are important for building protein in muscle tissue. Amino acids are proteins found in foods (whey, milk, soy proteins, beans, lentils, chickpeas, whole wheat, brown rice, almonds, etc.). The names of the specific amino acids that make up the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are part of Muscle Feast Amino Acid (32 Servings, Green Apple Flavor). The term "branched chain" refers to their chemical structure. Your muscles "burn" these amino acids for energy. If you are an athlete or bodybuilder, you can take branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplements to speed up post-workout recovery and stimulate muscle growth. Studies show that BCAAs can prevent muscle breakdown during exercise, but are unlikely to improve athletic performance the way creatine can. However, amino acid replacement can help muscle growth, reduce muscle soreness, fatigue, muscle wasting, appetite, etc. Sounds great right? Sure, but you should talk to your doctor if you're taking diabetes medications, corticosteroids, thyroid replacement hormones, and medications for Parkinson's disease, as negative interactions can occur. Now that we know why people take amino acids, let's talk about Muscle Feast's Essentials Green. Apple supplement. As said, you get 32 servings (1 scoop per 12 ounces of water or beverage of your choice). The 300g and 10.58oz options are the same (300g = 10.58oz). Smells and looks like cotton candy. It says "Made in the USA", "Gluten Free", "Vegan" and "Soy Free". Let's say you're interested in a soy deal. Soy acts as isoflavones (phytoestrogens), which are plant compounds specific to estrogens (female hormones). Women tend to add more soy to relieve discomfort like hot flashes. Guys may want to reduce the amount of soy (soy protein, soy lecithin, etc.). In any case, I can't say if these amino acids improve my workouts, but I like the taste and I don't think they do. During intense workouts, there's no harm in replacing amino acids as needed.
