Branched Chain Amino Acids (or better yet known as BCAAs) supplements are popping up everywhere, but what are they for? Essential amino acids are amino acids we must get from food, as our body does not naturally make them. Of the nine essential amino acids, there are three branched-chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine- all of which are present in protein-rich foods such as meat, eggs, and dairy. Leucine helps with protein synthesis and metabolic functions, isoleucine may help provide energy during exercise, and valine helps provide our muscles with energy.
