Would it be advisable to switch from the large scoop with protein (red) to the small one with (EAAs) or take both? That's a question today's SuppVersity article may help you to answer on your own.  Yes, leucine stimulates mTOR; but no, on its own, it is not going to build muscle, significantly accelerate muscle repair and function. Why's that? Well, your muscles are not made of leucine only. You also need the other essential amino acids histidine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Hiroyuki Kato et al., researchers from the  Frontier Research Laboratories  in Japan know that... obviously, after all, they work for the world's #1 amino acid producer, Ajinomoto Co., Inc.

He asked, whether I had an article on Pentadecapeptide BPC-157, a substance of which he'd heard that it can accelerate tendon and muscle repair and work all sorts of other healing magic. Now, as a regular at the SuppVersity  you may know that I didn't have an article on this agent a week age. So I decided to write one. Not just because Ryan asked, but also because of the practical significance of the healing effects of this peptide from in vitro and in vivo studies (no medical advice here!). Unlike antioxidants with their anti- hormetic  effects, BPC-157 actually promotes healing Is Vitamin E Good for the Sedentary Slob, Only? Even Ice-Baths Impair the Adapt.
