BCAAs

BCAAs stands for Branched-Chain Amino Acids. They are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are called "branched-chain" due to their chemical structure, which includes a branched side chain.

BCAAs are essential because the body cannot produce them and they must be obtained from dietary sources. They are found in protein-rich foods such as meat, dairy products, eggs, and legumes.
