Amino Acids

I was told to get a fat burner and amino acids to help with my weightloss goal. Do amino acids help and if so, how?

    I would suggest eating enough complete proteins. Meat, dairy, eggs, ect. If you like the taste of bcaa drinks. Go ahead. It won't hurt anything, besides your wallet. Best wishes.

    Any legal "fat burner" is not effective.

    Amino acids can help with weight loss in a few ways:

    Increase energy: Amino acids can help boost energy levels, which can help you exercise longer and burn more calories.

    Preserve muscle mass: Amino acids can help you maintain muscle mass, which is important when trying to lose fat.

    Increase satiety: Amino acids can help you feel fuller, which can help with weight loss.

    Support metabolism: Amino acids help produce hormones and neurotransmitters that regulate metabolism.

    Improve recovery: Amino acids can help you recover from exercise, which can help you maximize your workouts.

    Promote a healthy heart: Amino acids can help promote a healthy heart and blood system.

    Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three amino acids that are particularly important for energy production during exercise. The three BCAAs are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. A 2:1:1 ratio of leucine to isoleucine and valine has been shown to have the most positive effects

    BCAA should be taken only if you're not eating protein. Otherwise it is a waste. It is a marketing scam. You may benefit if you exercise fasted and take some prior to exercise. That's about it.
