Branched Chain Amino Acids from Life Extension is a dietary supplement with the three essential branched chain amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. Each daily dose of 4 vegetable capsules provides 2400 mg BCAA in total, divided into 1200 mg leucine, 600 mg isoleucine and 600 mg valine. The product is gluten-free, non-GMO and without unnecessary additives, which makes it easy to quote and evaluate for those who want a pure amino acid supplement for muscle support, recovery and physical performance.

Often used by active adults, during strength training, endurance training or during periods of calorie restriction where the preservation of muscle mass is important. Compared to many protein products, BCAA provides a more targeted intake of leucine, isoleucine and valine without additional protein mix, sugar or allergens. This may be relevant for people who want a precise supplement around exercise, during recovery or as part of a plan for healthy aging and muscle maintenance.

• Supports normal protein synthesis and muscle recovery during physical exertion
• Contributes to preserving muscle mass during training, aging or reduced calorie intake
• Contains 2400 mg BCAA per recommended daily dose of 4 capsules
• Gluten-free, non-GMO and supplied in vegetable capsules without known allergens
• Can be useful before or after training for strength, endurance and less perceived fatigue

L-leucine is particularly known for its role in activating mTOR, a central mechanism in muscle protein synthesis. L-isoleucine and L-valine are part of energy metabolism and are used directly in muscles during exercise. Research on BCAA also mentions connections with reduced muscle soreness, better recovery and support for training capacity. Some studies also discuss how branched amino acids can help to manage ammonia load during hard physical activity, which makes the product relevant also in contexts such as liver health and metabolic stress.

This supplement is suitable for adults over 18 who want support for sports nutrition, muscle preservation or general physical function. Typical usage situations are after heavy strength sessions, during intensive training periods, during endurance sports, or for older adults who want to maintain muscle strength as part of an active lifestyle. Unlike complete protein powders, this is a capsule-based alternative that is easy to dose and convenient to take to work, travel or exercise.

Each box contains 90 vegetable capsules, providing approximately 22 servings at recommended use. The list of ingredients is short: L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine and vegetable cellulose for the capsule. There is no set reference value for BCAA, but the content is stated in line with Norwegian and European regulations for other substances in dietary supplements. The manufacturer is Life Extension, USA, and the product is distributed by Uno Vita AS in Norway.
