BCAA is an acronym for Branched-Chain Amino Acids, is a group of three essential amino acids which are leucine, isoleucine, and valine. BCAA supplements are dietary supplements that provide these three amino acids in concentrated form. They are popular among athletes, bodybuilders, and individuals engaging in intense physical activities due to their potential benefits for muscle growth, exercise performance, and recovery. They also provide a specific ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine, with leucine being the most abundant. The ratio is often formulated to optimize muscle protein synthesis and other physiological processes.
