What are BCAAs?

Branched chain amino acids, usually shortened to BCAAs (and sometimes referred to as BCAA amino acids or BCAA aminos), make up around or about one third of the protein in the body’s muscles.

Although commonly found in chicken, tofu and milk, some people, particularly those who choose high intensity workout regimes, prefer to assure high levels via a BCAA supplement.

Unlike other essential amino acids, BCAAs – valine, leucine and isoleucine – are not processed in the liver, meaning they can immediately get on with their important work inside our muscles.

Key components in protein synthesis, BCAAs offer support for a wide range of sports and exercise workouts, whether cardio training or weightlifting. They aid efficient building and maintenance of muscle, doing their best work when used alongside a good supporting protein powder such as whey, which can provide the other amino acids your body requires.
