What are BCAAs?

BCAAs, which stands for branched-chain amino acids, are three of the nine essential amino acids that are vital to the body: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. The leucine in BCAAs can support muscle protein synthesis, promote muscle growth, and aid in recovery when paired with the right diet and exercise program. These three amino acids make up about 35% of your muscles’ total amino acids, which is why BCAA supplements may be able to help you recover after a difficult or long workout.

Why take BCAA supplements?

Lifting heavy weights, putting in long hours on the treadmill, or perfecting your circuit can help you look and feel your best. Of course, just as important as the workout is the recovery. Unfortunately, recovery often gets neglected, even by exercise enthusiasts who know better.

BCAA benefits include supporting muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth as well as aiding in recovery so you can get the most out of each workout and minimize downtime between sessions.

How should I take BCAA supplements?

BCAA products come in a few different forms, making it simple to find one that works for your routine.

BCAA Capsules

BCAA capsules are easy to take on a schedule that works for you. Capsule quantities and dosage recommendations vary by supplement, but many manufacturers recommend taking branched-chain amino acids supplements in the morning, after your workout, and again at night with food.

BCAA Powder

Often utilized by athletes and exercise pros, BCAA powders are typically mixed with water and consumed during exercise on training days. Powders can still be used when you're not working out, but should typically be consumed moderately throughout the day. Enjoy BCAA powders in delicious flavors, like blueberry, orange, and grape.

Are there BCAA products for specialty diets?

For many athletes and weekend warriors who love spending their time training at the gym, specialty diets are incredibly common. You can find BCAA powders and capsules with zero sugar, carbs, dairy, wheat, gluten, and soy. There are also vegetarian/vegan BCAA options, as well as supplements catering to paleo, kosher, and halal diets.

Which BCAA product is right for me?

BCAA supplements can benefit a wide variety of people at different stages in their lives. While dosage can vary based on product type, most BCAAs for women and men have about 5 grams of BCAAs per serving. Most BCAA supplements are gender-neutral, so adult men and women can choose from a wide array of options.

Shop BCAA supplements by top brands, including BodyTech, XTEND, GHOST, and more at The Vitamin Shoppe. Depending on your needs, you may find that buying in large quantities is more cost-effective and keeps you from running out of your preferred BCAA supplement.
