What are BCAA Supplements?Updated a year ago

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) refer to a group of 3 essential amino acids that cannot be produced by your body alone. They are the only three amino acids to have a chain that branches off to one side, and it is essential that you get them from your diet.

The 3 BCAAs are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine (Petre, A. 2021).
