BCAAs Protect Against Brain Injury and Aid Recovery in Contact Sports

Why Choose a Neurosurgeon?

The study highlights the neuroprotective benefits of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) recovery. It shows that BCAAs can help reduce injury severity and enhance motor and cognitive recovery, particularly when used prophylactically before contact sports. The research suggests BCAAs regulate glutamate, a key neurotransmitter in the brain’s response to injury. This emerging strategy could offer both preventive and therapeutic advantages for athletes at risk of TBI.

  • Prevention Potential: Pre-treatment with BCAAs may reduce injury severity in athletes.
  • Glutamate Regulation: BCAAs help balance neurotransmitter levels, protecting brain function.
  • Enhanced Recovery: BCAAs improve both motor and cognitive function post-TBI.
