👊 BCAAS VS EAAS: THE REAL STORY FOR FIGHTERS

👊 BCAAS VS EAAS: THE REAL STORY FOR FIGHTERS

For years, everyone’s argued about BCAAs or EAAs. Companies hyped BCAAs hard, but new science says EAAs are where it’s at.

Here’s the breakdown:

  • BCAAs = 3 aminos only (leucine, isoleucine, valine). Good, but they leave out the other 6 your body needs to rebuild muscle.
  • EAAs = all 9 essentials. That means full recovery, better growth, and more gas in the tank.

Why BCAAs fall short:

  1. They’re just part of the puzzle – you need the other 6.
  2. Quick hit, short-term boost – then you crash.
  3. Slower recovery – not what fighters need.

Why EAAs win:

  1. Stronger, longer-lasting gains.
  2. Full-body support – brain, immune system, energy.
  3. Works for all fight styles – striking, grappling, or both.

So why did BCAAs blow up? Simple: they taste good and got marketed hard. EAAs were harder to flavour back then. But now? Flavour tech has caught up. No excuses.

Bottom line:
👉 BCAAs are old news.
👉 EAAs are the complete package.
👉 If you want to train harder, recover faster, and fight longer – EAAs are the move
