About BCAA Injection
Branched-chain amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine) are considered essential nutrients. Essential nutrients are those that cannot be made by the human body and must instead be obtained through diet.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are usually obtained in the diet from protein. To maintain muscle mass, the standard recommended protein consumption is 0.8 g/kg daily. However, modern recommendations are even higher. In males, the average daily protein intake is 1.7g/kg. Per Neinast et al., BCAAs make up about 2-5% of energy sources from the diet. According to the Institute of Medicine, the Estimated Average Requirements for leucine, isoleucine, and valine are 34, 15, and 19 mg/kg per day, respectively.
