Let’s be honest here, supplements aren’t miracle workers; they won’t turn you into the next Ronnie Coleman but they do offer a real benefit when used correctly.

Although a healthy diet will provide many good nutrients for the body, it is perfectly possible that you are missing some. Through supplementation you can fill this gap and feed your body the full spectrum, but choosing the correct product can be harder than you thought. The supplement industry is a booming market and many companies compete against each other trying to sell you their products. To this extent, many of them put unrealistic claims on their product labeling, claims which are not approved by the FDA

If you base your purchase decisions on these claims you are likely to make the wrong choices, which is why I suggest you see reviews such as this BPI Best BCAA review. Real and legit reviews such as this one offer a comprehensive look at the product in question, allowing you to easily compare it to others in its category.

In my 7 years of training, I have used many supplements which is why I can tell you first hand that not all of them deliver. Some supplements do pretty much nothing, some are OK while some are truly top notch and effective. BPI Sports Best BCAA falls in the last of these categories and is why I decided to review this product. Read on, learn, and always make informed decisions.

BPI Sports Best BCAA Facts

BPI is a very well-known company when it comes to bodybuilding supplements, and they definitely didn’t hold back when it comes to this product. Using the very bold name “Best BCAA”, does this product live up to its name? It sure does! Before you can fully understand the benefits of this product, you have to first learn how BCAAs work. Standing for branched-chain amino acids, BCAAs are made up of 3 amino acids that are essential to the body (ie. they aren’t produced by the body and must be taken through external sources). These are leucine, isoleucine, and valine.

Now the vast majority of the other BCAA products deliver said amino acids using the traditional way, but BPI Sports Best BCAA uses a new form of transportation technology. Known as Oligopeptides, which is basically a bonded chain of amino acids created through a proprietary process route, this new way of amino acid transportation acts as a better delivery system, increases bio-activity, has better metabolization, provides faster onset time, and is a more improved BCAA model. Besides this great feature, this product also comes with complex bio-active Oligopeptide-Enzymatic technology that further enhances delivery and absorption.

Using BPI Best BCAA The Right Way

I already mentioned earlier that BCAAs are essential amino acids, but I have yet to tell you that when the body is low in energy (such as during or directly after a workout) it will cannibalize its own muscle for said energy. Three of the first amino acids it goes for are the BCAAs, which is why such supplements are great not just for recovery but also for muscle protection. To this extent, you can consume this product directly before, directly after, or even during a workout.

Unfortunately this product only comes in powder form which is a little bit more cumbersome when compared to pill form, but the good thing is that it tastes great and also mixes in very easily. I only tried the Fruit Punch flavor so far but I assume the others are just as good. Each scoop of BPI Sports Best BCAA gives you 5 grams of BCAAs (2.5g of which are leucine, 1.25g of which are isoleucine, and 1.25g of which are valine), 1 gram of CLA MATRIX, and 250 mg of Oligiopeptide-Enzymatic technology.

Regardless of when you choose to take this product, always mix it with an adequate amount of water; about 8 oz is enough. As you can probably expect from such products, I only experienced one thing: additional recovery. While taking BPI Sports Best BCAA I noticed I was feeling “fresher” between one workout and the next, and it also made the muscle soreness go away faster which is always a plus; I hate having to train my chest with sore triceps for example. I used this product once a day directly after my workout, and opted not to take it during non-training days although you can consume a serving as soon as you wake up.

This marks the end of this BPI Sports Best BCAA review; I hope you have enjoyed it and also learned something new.
