BCAAs are 3 special amino acids that are often taken extra by athletes. The abbreviation stands for Branched Chain Amino Acids, or amino acids with a branched side chain. The 3 BCAAs are Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. All three are also essential amino acids.
The different chemical form that BCAAs have gives the substances special physiochemical properties. Together, the BCAAs account for one-third of the amino acid content in muscles.
