BCAA Capsules is a vegetarian capsule-form supplement from Pure Encapsulations providing 1,200 mg of free-form branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) per serving — L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine. Isoleucine and valine are produced from corn dextrose fermentation; leucine is originally extracted from protein and is extensively processed and purified.
BCAAs are amino acids utilized directly by skeletal muscle to support protein synthesis and muscle repair. They also support muscle glycogen sparing and help maintain muscle function during prolonged exercise. BCAAs have also been shown to decrease lactate production, and they help moderate the progression of central nervous system fatigue that can occur during prolonged exertion, supporting mental and physical performance.
The product is formulated using high-quality vegetarian ingredients backed by verifiable science. Pure Encapsulations products are free from unnecessary additives and many common allergens, and this product carries Certified Gluten-Free status from the Gluten-Free Certification Organization. It is suited for adults aged 18 and up who are seeking support for muscle function, lean muscle mass, and exercise recovery.
