Drug Class and Mechanism

BCAAs act as a fuel source for skeletal muscle during times of trauma or stress, help prevent catabolism (the breakdown of muscle for energy), while encouraging protein synthesis. BCAAs are administered to victims of severe burns or serious trauma for this reason.

Branched-chain amino acids are popular with athletes and strength trainers for their anti-catabolic properties, and possible glycogen sparing activity. More research is needed, however.

Additionally, BCAAs are also used as part of treatment for h epatic encephalopathy, and may help symptoms of tardive dyskenesia and phenylketonuria. While BCAAs were once thought to help improve symptoms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig disease), it is now unclear as to whether there is any benefit. Recent studies have even shown that BCAAs may increase mortality rate in those with ALS, therefore it is not currently recommended that these individuals take BCAA supplements.
