Branch Chain Amino Acids, most commonly shortened to BCAA, are made up of the amino acids L-Valine, L-Leucine and L-Isoleucine, respectively. While BCAAs are found in their greatest natural quantities in products such as red meat and many types of dairy, protein supplements synthesized from an egg base or whey are ideal for finding concentrated amounts. These amino acids are referred to as Branch Chain Amino Acids because they have a chemical structure that separates them from the rest of the amino acid family. In addition, these BCAAs make up 40% of total body protein content and represent around 15 to 25% of total protein intake overall. (The taste is very bitter and regardless of how well you mix BCAA to other food sources it will be a challenge. The recommended food sources to mask the flavor are Gatorade, Crystal Light, Kool Aid, Flavored Whey Protein Mix, or Natural Fruit Juice)
