BCAAs Overview

Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three proteins (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) that promote muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth. They can also help novice athletes prevent fatigue, increase aerobic capacity, and increase fat oxidation. See a complete summary of all scientific research at Examine.

They occur naturally in red meat and eggs, but can also be supplemented for relatively cheap. Below you’ll find the best BCAAs available on Amazon Prime. All come in a 2:1:1 ratio of leucine to isoleucine to valine for optimal efficiency in the body.

When it comes to BCAAs, there’s really no reason to not get the cheapest source available as long as its pure.
