Function of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
In animal proteins (including human beings), the ratio of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine is respectively 2:1:1. In other words, the proteins that make up our body contain L-Isoleucine and L-Valine in equal measure, and a double amount of L-Leucine. For this reason, the first BCAA supplements
