Of the nine essential amino acids, three are the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are grouped together because they are the only three amino acid to have a chain that branches off to one side.
“Branched-chain” refers to the chemical structure of BCAAs, which are found in protein-rich foods such as eggs, meat and dairy products. They are also a popular dietary supplement sold primarily in powder form.

Typical Analysis
Leucine is the product of protein hydrolysis by way of various enzymes present in the pancreas. This reaction is part of the overall digestive process.
Isoleucine may help stimulate the production and circulation of energy throughout the body.
Valine is essential in maintaining the structure of various proteins into which it has been incorporated.
