Branched Chain Amino Acids

NOW Sports
The three branched-chain amino acids are supplied as clearly identified L-isomers. That provides a stronger, more assessable match than the original; its supplied analysis notes that the amount is too low for a typical muscle-protein-synthesis trigger, so several capsules would be needed and effective-serving value falls.
74 Performance

Branched Chain Amino Acids (Free Form)

Life Extension
The free-form branched-chain amino acids are clearly identified and do not require protein digestion. That provides a stronger, more assessable match than the original; its supplied analysis notes that the amount is too low for a typical muscle-protein-synthesis trigger, so several capsules would be needed and effective-serving value falls.
82 Performance

The Original Strawberry Kiwi Splash

XTEND
Substantial branched-chain amino acids and glutamine support workout recovery, while the modest sodium and potassium amounts are better suited to light hydration than heavy sweat replacement. That provides a stronger, more assessable match than the original; its supplied analysis notes that the amount is too low for a typical muscle-protein-synthesis trigger, so several capsules would be needed and effective-serving value falls.

BCAA 3200 mg

Best Naturals
The three free-form branched-chain amino acids are clearly identified. Its serving cost is not lower, but the supplied candidate list does not contain three lower-cost choices; this is one of the closest-priced remaining collection matches.

Mega-Size BCAA 1000 Caps

Optimum Nutrition
Micronized L-leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine provide well-specified free-form amino acids. Its serving cost is not lower, but the supplied candidate list does not contain three lower-cost choices; this is one of the closest-priced remaining collection matches.

Daily Amino Acid

21st Century
Several L-amino acids use clear forms, but DL-methionine includes an avoidable non-L isomer. It also lowers the serving cost relative to the original while retaining a close ingredient-collection match.

The focused ingredient delivery and efficient serving cost improve value relative to the original, whose supplied analysis notes that the amount is too low for a typical muscle-protein-synthesis trigger, so several capsules would be needed and effective-serving value falls.
