Great video! I appreciate the honest discussion about when BCAAs are actually beneficial, especially for those with limited protein intake or doing endurance sports. This cleared up a lot of confusion!

very good

All clinical trials used for fda approval should require govt supervision, for conducting AND designing the trials

Appreciate the honest and balanced overview! As a long-distance runner struggling to hit protein goals, this has definitely convinced me to give BCAAs a try to see if they aid in recovery.
i like when you say "may" and "could". So where is evidence or something that you can say 100%?

could you als add in ounce/lbs Not everyone Can convert from grams to lbs an ounce
Would be nice if you also did the conversation for lbs for your American viewership
But whose deficient in the other essential amino acids in a developed country

Finally a nuanced take on BCAAs. Not necessary for gymbros already huffing down whey but endurance runners definitely could benefit from them.
I have Crohns disease, to me it’s hard to absorb all my food / drinks since my body doesn’t absorbed it all, using whey+ amino+ creatine and eating twice a full meal a day, upped my body from 60 – 80 kg in just more then a year. Maybe if u healthy it’s not necessary, but for me it works ❤
Thank you sir! Just saved me a lot of money. Very good information! I have learned from your video, thank you!

Really appreciate the balanced approach! As someone who’s been confused by the conflicting information, this video finally clarified the role of BCAAs in different contexts, especially for endurance athletes. Definitely makes me consider them now.
Pea protein? I thought I wanted to get it into my body, not out of it lol
