Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are called "branched-chain" due to their chemical structure. BCAAs are important for muscle growth and recovery, and they are commonly found in protein-rich foods like meat, dairy, and eggs. Many athletes take BCAA supplements to help reduce muscle soreness and boost performance during workouts. Unlike other amino acids, BCAAs can be directly used by muscles for energy, making them vital for maintaining muscle health and supporting endurance activities.
