Oral Branched-Chain Amino Acids Supplementation in Athletes: A Systematic Review

This systematic review analyzed 24 studies to assess the effects of oral branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) supplementation on athletic performance, body composition, recovery, and biochemical responses. The findings indicated that while BCAAs can activate anabolic signaling pathways, their benefits on performance and body composition are negligible. Some studies reported that

L-Carnitine Tartrate Supplementation for 5 Weeks Improves Exercise Recovery in Men and Women: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigated the effects of L-Carnitine Tartrate (LCLT) supplementation on exercise recovery in healthy men and women over a 5-week period. The study found that LCLT supplementation significantly reduced muscle soreness and markers of muscle damage compared to the placebo group, suggesting improved post-exercise recovery. LCLT

l-Citrulline supplementation improves O2 uptake kinetics and high-intensity exercise performance in humans

The study titled “L-Citrulline supplementation improves O2 uptake kinetics and high-intensity exercise performance in humans” (Journal of Applied Physiology, 2015, PMID: 26023227) examined the effects of short-term L-citrulline (Cit) supplementation on blood pressure, oxygen uptake (V̇O2) kinetics, and exercise performance in healthy adults. This randomized controlled trial found that Cit
