1. What Are the Natural Sources of BCAAs?

Whey protein and egg protein supplements are additional sources of BCAAs (Please refer to the product profiles to learn more about whey protein and egg protein supplements.)

2. Could One Be Deficient in BCAAs?

3. What is the Optimal Dose of BCAAs?

A diet containing animal protein should furnish adequate amounts of BCAAs. Athletes involved in intense training, however, require supplementation with BCAAS. Recommended dosages are roughly 2 grams a day each leucine and valine and 1 gram daily of isoleucine.

4. What Are the Side Effects of BCAA Supplementation?

No side effects have been reported with BCAA supplementation, if they are taken in the recommended amounts.

It is advisable to take BCAAS with whole proteins, such as lean meat and poultry, and multiple vitamins and minerals, particularly with B-type vitamins.
