🧪 Formulation Notes

The power of branched chain amino acids L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine are commonly grouped together and referred to as branched chain amino acids, or BCAAs, because of their unique branched chemical structure. BCAAs are essential, meaning they must be consumed through the diet since the human body cannot make them from other compounds.

One 2-capsule serving provides 1000 mg of BCAAs.

1000 mg branched chain amino acids per 2 capsule serving 2:1:1 ratio of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine

Versatile amino acid support Essential amino acid support
