Some products, however, zero in on just the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)—leucine, isoleucine, and valine—because of their potential role in muscle building and recovery.

You also might find branched-chain amino acids, a.k.a. leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which all have a similar chemical structure and are the three most important aminos for building muscle.

The supplement contains all 9 essential amino acids and all branched-chain amino acids, which are required for many bodily processes such as building proteins and synthesizing neurotransmitters.

In this study, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) clearly impacted the reproductive function of male mice, causing significant changes in sperm concentration and a decline in fertility. The study ...
