Amino Acids & BCAAs

BCAAs, EAAs, and isolated amino acids for recovery and endurance.

Amino acids and BCAAs: supporting muscle recovery

BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) consist of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. Unlike most amino acids, they are metabolized directly in the muscle and not in the liver, which explains their popularity among athletes looking for support for muscle protein synthesis and post-exercise recovery.

Beyond BCAAs, this amino acid supplement includes all essential amino acids (EAAs), glutamine, citrulline, arginine, and taurine, each addressing a different goal: recovery, endurance, muscle pump, or immune support. The choice depends on the type of exercise performed and the timing of intake (before, during, or after training).

What athletes want to know before buying

  • What is the ideal ratio between leucine, isoleucine, and valine (often 2:1:1 or 4:1:1)?
  • Should one prioritize BCAAs or EAAs (complete essential amino acids)?
  • What dosage should be used before, during, and after training?
  • Are BCAAs useful during calorie restriction?
  • Can they be combined with creatine or whey protein?

All our amino acid and BCAA products come with a detailed information sheet listing the composition per dose, instructions for use, and potential allergens, for an informed choice adapted to your athletic practice.
