Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) refer collectively to Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine - three essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from food or supplements.
They appear as a white crystalline powder, with a slightly bitter taste and good water solubility.
Core Application Fields
Sports Nutrition
Sports Supplements
A key anti-fatigue ingredient, typically blended in a 2:1:1 ratio (Leucine:Isoleucine:Valine).
Recommended dosage: 3–5 g per serving, taken 30 minutes before or during exercise, helping reduce muscle soreness and fatigue.
Fitness Foods
Added to protein powders, energy bars, and sports drinks to support muscle recovery and endurance.
Professional Use
Used in customized formulations for athletes, promoting muscle protein synthesis and shortening recovery time.
Food & Beverage
Functional Beverages
Added to energy drinks or electrolyte waters at 0.5–1%, marketed for "anti-fatigue and energy boost" effects.
Ideal for night work, overtime, and study scenarios; compatible with low-sugar, preservative-free product concepts.
Special Nutrition
Used in senior nutrition formulas to prevent muscle loss (sarcopenia) and in postoperative recovery foods to promote wound healing and protein replenishment.
Pharmaceutical Applications
Clinical Nutrition:
Incorporated into enteral nutrition formulas for cancer patients or individuals with chronic wasting diseases.
Typical daily intake: 5–10 g, to improve nutritional status and enhance immune response.
Pediatric Health:
Added to infant formula milk (containing 50–80 mg BCAAs per 100 g) to support growth and development.
Pet Food & Animal Feed
Pet Nutrition
Added to dog and cat food (containing 0.8–1.2 g BCAAs per 100 g) to help prevent muscle atrophy in older pets and improve activity levels.
Livestock & Poultry Feed
Used in piglet and broiler feed at 0.3–0.5% inclusion rate, improving survival rate by 10–15% and promoting growth.
Feed-grade blended products with purity ≥98.0% are commonly used.
