Branched chain amino acids (free-form) providing1200mg
Disputed

Leucine, isoleucine and valine; on their own they build muscle less well than complete protein or all the essential amino acids, and reduce soreness only slightly.

L-Leucine (free-form)600mg
~ Likely

The amino acid that most strongly switches on muscle protein building; about 2–3g per meal, usually from protein, is enough.

L-Isoleucine (free-form)300mg
Disputed

A branched-chain amino acid; it adds little on top of an adequate protein intake.

L-Valine (free-form)300mg
Disputed

A branched-chain amino acid; it adds little on top of an adequate protein intake.
