Branched-chain amino acids and muscle protein synthesis in humans: myth or reality?

[CMB]

This is not "one" study. It is a meta-analysis of all existing studies so any more accurate material on this subject do not exist.

Apologies, you're correct it is a meta-analysis. I did a brief read on the article.

Nevertheless, I could pull conflicting studies which would just muddy the waters further.

My point being, this is a good article - though it doesn't (IMO) by itself lead me to the conclusion that BCAAs are never effective.

Actually, that is the conclusion. You can not point to other single studies when someone does a meta-analysis as those would be negated. What exactly is your scientific argument against this comprehensive analysis? You have sort of peeked my interest now.
