Branched-Chain Amino Acids

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are essential nutrients made up of three specific amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are called "branched-chain" due to their unique chemical structure. BCAAs play a crucial role in muscle growth, repair, and energy production, making them popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Unlike most amino acids, BCAAs can be directly metabolized in the muscles rather than the liver, which may enhance exercise performance and reduce muscle soreness. Incorporating BCAAs through diet or supplements may support physical activities and overall muscle health.
