Branded Chain Amino acids
Three essential amino acids- Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine called branched chain. These are building blocks of protein. As these are not manufactured in the body, it must be obtained through diet, called as essential amino acids. The research studies showed that theses amino acids may help to restore muscle mass following surgery, an injury or trauma. Deficiency of essential amino acids leads to loss of stamina, weak immunity, slow healing of wounds, weakness and depression.
Recommended Dietary Allowances
The estimated adult daily requirement for Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine is 9mgs, 6mgs and 7mgs respectively. Infants and children require essential amino acids twice the adult requirement. Your total daily requirement for protein in general is number of grams equal to half of your body weight in pounds. For instance, if a person weighs 180 pounds, he needs 90gms of protein daily.

These amino acids are available in meat and dairy products.
