These show that there is no overall increased risk of cancer from treatment with radioactive iodine. The small dose of radioactivity used means that radioactive iodine treatment is in no way like the radiation exposure following uncontrolled nuclear fallout which can cause thyroid cancer.
BCAAs reduce muscle soreness after intense exercise. BCAAs aid in post-workout recovery. by Jeff S. Volek, Ph.D., R.D. The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) leucine, isoleucine and valine have an important role in several aspects of recovery and may well be the most important of all the amino acids for athletes.
âIt is important to realize that BCAAs are found naturally in the proteins that you are already eating, like whey or casein protein shakes, eggs, beef, fish, and chicken,â he says. âThis means that for the average guy looking to get fit, thereâs no need to add a BCAA supplement to your post-workout protein shake. Itâs overkill and it wonât get you any better results.â Related Video: Do BCAA's Work?: Itâs not that taking more will hurt you, itâs just that those added aminos may not help you build any more muscle. In fact, one study in the journal Amino Acids (yes, thereâs actually a research journal named that) found that the additional supplementation of leucine, one of the BCAAs, taken before and during anaerobic running, did not improve exercise performance.
