                     What is the Best Time to Take BCAA and Whey Protein
Protein supplements have become a popular product in the market.

kinds like unflavoured and flavoured (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, 
pista, etc.) It is said that flavoured options have more additives than 
unflavoured ones. 
Can We Take BCAA and Whey 
Protein Together?
You can take both whey protein and BCAA together. It won’t cause any harm. In 
fact these days, there are many protein powders with BCAA in Indian market.  
BCAA stands for Branched Chain Amino Acid and there are three important 
BCAAs – Valine, Leucine and Isoleucine. They are grouped together since they 
have molecular structure that branches to one side. Whey Protein is the protein 
that is got from milk. The other protein is casein. Whey protein is of three types. 
• Whey Concentrate: It is formed when liquid whey undergoes microfiltration. It 
consists of 70-80% protein and is cheaper compared to the other types. 
•  Whey Isolate: It is formed when whey concentrate undergoes further 
processing. It has 90% protein. It is costlier than concentrate. It has relatively 
lesser amounts of fats and sugar in it than concentrate. 
• Whey Hydrolysate: When the isolate is processed, then 
whey hydrolysate is formed. This is the costliest type since it is highly 
processed and in pre-digested form. It is easy for the body to absorb. 
• There are many whey protein supplements that include BCAA as well. 
You can read the ingredients before buying them. There are different 
kinds of proteins – whey protein, pea protein, rice protein, quinoa 
protein, etc. and it depends on your choice. Some products contain 
fillers, that don’t have any nutritional value. They are added into a 
product to increase the weight. Avoid fillers in products.
