FTP #8: Stuart Phillips (PhD) & Filipe Teixeira (PhD) - BCAAs, Glutamine, HMB & collagen For endurance athletes? (Double guest)

Branched-chain amino acids, glutamine, collagen and HMB, started as being supplements popular in the fitness world only, but quickly invaded the endurance sports world, particularly cycling. Quite often we see cyclists urging to take glutamine after training to aid in recovery, or BCAAs during training to reduce muscle damage, collagen to protect the joints or even HMB to minimize loss of fat free mass during periods of long training sessions. To help clarify this topic Dr. Stuart Phillips & Dr. Filipe Teixeira will provide us with the latest update on the research available on these supplements and their posible application in endurance sports, particularly in cycling.
