Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) by NOW FOODS is a food supplement in vegetarian capsule form that provides the essential branched-chain amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine.
The capsule format is a practical option for including these amino acids in a daily routine, taken before meals or physical activity.
The formula centres on the three branched-chain amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. These essential amino acids have a branched molecular structure and cannot be produced by the body, so they must be obtained from the diet or a supplement. Each four-capsule serving supplies 2.6 g of BCAAs, with a typical profile of 1,170–1,400 mg L-leucine, 570–700 mg L-isoleucine and 570–700 mg L-valine that follows the 2:1:1 ratio.
What is the advantage of taking BCAA in capsule form compared to powder?
Capsules offer a practical, pre-measured format that can be taken before meals or physical activity without mixing.
How long does one bottle of NOW Foods BCAA capsules last?
One bottle contains 60 servings of 4 capsules. At one serving daily, it lasts 60 days.
Are these BCAA capsules suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, the capsules are vegetarian and made with a cellulose capsule shell and plant-based stearic acid.
