Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are three of the nine Essential Amino Acids with similar structures that beneficially influence the muscles. As they cannot be naturally produced by our body, they must be obtained through protein-rich foods (such as eggs or meat) or supplementation.

BCAAs are essential in supporting muscle recovery and function as they help stimulate protein synthesis resulting in muscle growth, as well as helping boost energy levels and fatigue.

The three BCAAs are Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine:

Leucine is considered the most important in muscle growth as it activates a certain pathway in the body that stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is the process of making muscle. Leucine is also responsible for the regulation of blood-sugar levels and the growth and repair of tissues in the skin. It's a strong potentiator of Human Growth Hormone (HGH). It can also help in healing wounds, regulating energy, and preventing muscle tissue breakdown.

- Isoleucine promotes muscle recovery, regulates blood sugar levels and stimulates HGH release. But isoleucine holds its own in terms of wound healing. It helps form haemoglobin and is strongly involved in forming blood clots, the body's primary defence against infection through open wounds.

- Valine helps the repair and grow muscle tissue, commonly attributed to BCAAs. It maintains the nitrogen balance and preserves the use of glucose.

-Note: BCAAs Unflavoured typically possess an extremely bitter taste profile. Leucine, considered the most effective of the three BCAAs at promoting muscle protein synthesis, is also the most bitter. As a result, the higher the leucine concentration, the more bitter and unpalatable the product becomes
