## Overview

NOW Foods Sports Nutrition Branched Chain Amino Acids delivers a pharmaceutical-grade 3:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine in 120 vegan capsules.

## Description

Essential Amino Acids Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine Pure Aminos The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leucine, isoleucine and valine are essential amino acids, and thus cannot be made in the body. BCAAs are critical for muscle protein synthesis, and because BCAAs can be used as fuel during intense exercise, BCAA supplementation can help to preserve existing muscle tissue.* In addition, BCAAs can support the recovery process by promoting the normal repair processes that take place after exertion.* BCAAs also play an important role in the maintenance of proper immune system function and the support of healthy aging.* NOW® Branched-Chain Amino Acids are pharmaceutical grade. Natural color variation may occur in this product.

Review: Works for me! - I bought this because its hard to find an all natural amino supplement and this one is just straight aminos, no other ingredient. I was hesitant at first because of all the bad reviews about the taste, and that messed me up when it arrived because my anticipation of the bad taste was so great that I almost threw up the minute I put it into my mouth. After swallowing however, i realized that it wasn't that bad, really actually quite painless. Sure, it doesn't taste good, but by all means is it acceptable and when mixed into a small glass of cranberry juice I can down it in one shot and barely taste it at all. I tried to mix it into a protein shake and that was a bad idea, it really did alter the flavor of my normally delicious shake. I decided going forward i would need to take it in small shots and just get it down and done with. I also tried blending it with cranberry juice in the blender...horrible idea. The amino acid powder does not mix....at all, it just has zero ability to mix with liquid so it foamed up in the blender and became this aerated foam blob. The juice settled at the bottom and contained zero amino powder since the powder had separated into the foam at the top. So, my suggestion is to just lightly hand mix the powder into some juice and shoot it down quick and easy. If you can handle that then I highly recommend this product, great quality and no extra B.S. ingredients - just Aminos! Update 10/29/2013 - Its been a couple months since i bought this and I still have about half the bottle left. It became harder and harder to put down, after weeks of drinking the stuff it really started to gross me out. I wont be able to finish the product and i wont be purchasing it again as I've developed a gag reflect to it. I wanted to like it and the taste really wasn't THAT bad at first...i just cant stand it anymore and its become to hard to get down. My GF cant even look at the stuff.
Review: Great product - I have been taking for a few months and I like the product and will continue taking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product
*by H***R on December 14, 2025*

I have been taking for a few months and I like the product and will continue taking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent price, purity
*by R***S on October 3, 2015*

Excellent price, purity, and value Does not mix well with water and a spoon, suspends at top and clumps. Mixes well with shakers but adds a foul taste to water or protein shakes (tastes acrid). Mixes best with sour products like OJ, pre work out NO powders, and emergenC Essential for post workout recovery, pre workout to maintain muscle mass, and pre sleep in order to boost hgh levels and build lean mass. You won't find a better value in a name brand. This size and price is unbeatable in any store or any other website. I have been using this exact product for over 3 years and maintain excellent health, 6-8% body fat, and my blood panels come back immaculate every time. Resting heart rate 52-55. As with any product, exercise is essential, and supplementation is key when your calories are cut and low. When I am below 2000 call I make it a point to supplement. I will buy again, no need to shop around, and I recommend this to everyone I train. Two thumbs up for NOW on this one, they hit it out of the park. If this review helped please thumbs back.
