What is BCAA and How Should It Be Taken

• BCAA is Branch Chained Amino Acids and is
  comprised of Valine, Isoleucine, and Leucine.
  These amino acids are essential for muscle growth
  and repair. They cannot be created by the body
  and need to be got from the diet. Some popular
  sources of protein are eggs, pulses, lentils,
  vegetables, milk and milk products like cheese,
  paneer, soybeans, etc. When the protein you get
  from diet is not sufficient, then you need to
  turn to supplements. There are many products
  under the category of protein powder with BCAA.

  ingredients carefully before purchase. The amount
  of protein varies from product to product.
