Episode 2708:

Dr. Neal dives into the world of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) and creatine, clarifying their roles in muscle growth and workout performance. He explains the science behind these supplements, their potential benefits, and the importance of using them correctly. While BCAAs might aid in muscle preservation and creatine could boost high-intensity exercises, he emphasizes the need for caution, proper research, and consulting with a healthcare provider before supplementation.

Quotes to ponder:

"Those that supplement with BCAAs often believe that they are preventing muscle breakdown and improving their athletic performance."

"For most, taking a BCAA supplement is relatively safe and has minimal side effects."

"Creatine helps our muscles generate energy."
