How to take Pre-Workout and BCAAs?Updated a year ago

A pre-workout supplement and BCAA supplement are a great combination to consume together! Aim to take your pre-workout 20-30 minutes before your training session, or according to the product label, to help improve your energy levels and focus so you can remain in the zone for your workout. On the other hand, BCAAs will help with energy production during your workout and protect your muscles from catabolism (muscle breakdown) while training, in addition to helping lower cortisol levels, which is suggested to aid fat loss and muscle gain.(Shimomura, Y et al. 2006)Your BCAAs should be sipped during your training session as an intra-workout supplement.
