Can you gain muscle mass by consuming BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) ?

Can you gain muscle mass by consuming BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) ?
Question
Lucene, one of the three branch chain amino acid triggers insulin, which will cause you to become anabolic for up to 4 hours, during this time nutrients, all nutrients will be shuttled into your muscles. If you consumed sugars, those will get stored in fat cells, as well trigger muscle repair, BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) 


Reply
are for people who are doing fasted cardio or need something from breaking down their muscle (catabolism) when they haven't eaten, so it "spares" muscle, but you need way more amino acids to actually build muscle, just eat real food, unless you are prepping for a show or starving.
