What is BCAA and How Should It Be Taken
                     What is BCAA and How Should It Be Taken
BCAA is Branch Chained Amino Acids and is comprised of Valine, 
Isoleucine, and Leucine. These amino acids are essential for muscle 
growth and repair. They cannot be created by the body and need to be 
got from the diet. Some popular sources of protein are eggs, pulses, 
lentils, vegetables, milk and milk products like cheese, paneer, 
soybeans, etc. When the protein you get from diet is not sufficient, 
then you need to turn to supplements. There are many products under 
the category of protein powder with BCAA.  
Always buy a product from a known brand and that has been tested or 
certified by a third party. Many products contain a lot of additives these 
days and fillers. Some additives are artificial flavours, natural flavours, 
colors, vegetable fats and oils, emulsifiers, etc. Always read the 
ingredients carefully before purchase. The amount of protein varies from 
product to product.
Whey protein is got from milk along with casein. It is easier to digest and 
absorb than casein and is used widely by fitness people. It is of three 
types – concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate. Our protein needs vary 
based on many factors. Some of them are your diet, lifestyle, exercise 
routine, genetics, etc.
