What are BCAAs?
There are 20 different amino acids that produce the thousands of various proteins in the body. Nine are considered essential amino acids, which our body can’t naturally produce, and we need to gain them through our diet.
Leucine, isoleucine and valine are well-known as branched-chain amino acids (BCAAS) and they are vital to muscle function and growth. They take up 35% of the essential amino acids found in muscle proteins and account for 40% of the total amino acids required by your body.

Foods VS BCAA?
You can find leucine, isoleucine, and valine in protein-rich foods such as milk, egg, chicken breast, beef or whey/soy protein powder. However, they do not contain all essential amino acids. Also, if you are focusing on a dairy-free diet, non-GMO foods or a vegetable lover, you may not consume enough essential aminos per day.

Q: When Should I Use This Product?

A: Probably the most well known use of BCAAs is to assist in muscle growth. If you are working out with the intention of increasing muscle strength/mass, BCAAs can be a great addition to a healthy diet. BCAAs are also thought to reduce muscle soreness after a work out. Another time you may consider adding in BCAAs would be if you are not consuming sufficient total protein or variety of protein sources.

Q: Who Can Benefit?

A: Generally BCAAs are found to be safe for most people in average doses taken orally. Currently there isn’t enough information avaialble to determine safety for pregnant or breastfeeding women. Staying within the amounts found in food would likely be the best approach for pregnant or breastfeeding women as well as young children. Side effects such as fatigue, loss of coordination, and stomach problems such as nausea, diarrhea and bloating are uncommon when using appropriate doses.
