Analysis

Four capsules supply 1,600 mg leucine, 800 mg isoleucine, and 800 mg valine in a clearly disclosed BCAA ratio. The label provides enough detail to understand the central formula and serving.

The amounts are moderate rather than high-potency, and capsules release less quickly than a dissolved workout powder. That trade-off materially affects potency, convenience, transparency, or value.

Best suited to value-focused users who want a substantial BCAA bottle and measured capsule servings. Expectations should match the disclosed ingredients and the product's focused role.

Who is it for
  • value-focused users who want a substantial BCAA bottle and measured capsule servings
  • People who prefer the disclosed format and serving style
  • Users whose priorities match the formula rather than broader nutrition
Best for
  • Strong practical value per active gram
  • Every BCAA amount is disclosed
  • value-focused users who want a substantial BCAA bottle and measured capsule servings

Pros

  • Strong practical value per active gram
  • Every BCAA amount is disclosed
  • Balanced leucine-led formula

Cons

  • Four capsules are needed per serving
  • Leucine remains below a strong trigger amount
  • No sourcing or sport-testing details are supplied

Nutrient quality

91 Highest impact

The three free-form branched-chain amino acids are clearly identified. The serving provides useful amounts, though leucine remains somewhat below a strong standalone trigger.

.

Ingredient transparency

83 Highest impact

Active ingredients have stated amounts and no proprietary blend hides a dose. Serving count is supplied, while full directions and the other-ingredients list are missing.

.

Customer satisfaction

64 Moderate impact

The supplied aggregate rating is the only evidence of general satisfaction and its reliability depends on rating volume. No comment-level evidence is available to assess recurring complaints or confirm how experience matches the intended purpose.

.

Value for money

96 Highest impact

Meaningful dosing and favorable serving cost strongly support formula value. The product compares very well with similar amino acid options.

Report overview
Leucine · 1600 mg OverallScore74
D+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityA- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

Four capsules clearly provide 1,600 mg of free-form L-leucine with the other branched-chain amino acids. The amount reaches the collection median but remains below the main trigger range, and no premium source or processing claim is supplied. Very low cost per gram and a manageable capsule count provide strong practical value.

Valine · 800 mg OverallScore69
C+ Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB- Value

The formula clearly lists free-form L-Valine and its individual amount. Capsules trade drink mixability for convenience, and no sport-specific testing is provided. The dose is moderate rather than benchmark-level, but its cost per gram is favorable.

View ingredientView products
Isoleucine · 800 mg OverallScore69
B- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

Isolated L-isoleucine avoids protein digestion, but the four-capsule serving is slower to release than a dissolved powder. The 800 mg amount offers a moderate contribution without reaching a high-potency dose. Low serving cost and exact amount disclosure improve practicality, while sourcing and independent sport testing remain unverified.

79 Performance

The Original Strawberry Kiwi Splash

XTEND
Higher disclosed amounts of all three BCAAs give 3.5 g leucine, 1.75 g isoleucine, and 1.75 g valine, plus glutamine, citrulline malate, and electrolytes, providing stronger standalone coverage than the original. The expanded powder formula adds ingredients beyond the original three-amino-acid focus, which may be unnecessary for someone seeking only BCAAs.
82 Performance

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

NOW Sports
The formula provides 1.6 g leucine, 0.65 g isoleucine, and 0.65 g valine in a focused alternative, although the supplied data do not establish a clear across-the-board upgrade over the original. Leucine still sits below a strong standalone muscle-protein trigger, and full directions and excipient details are not supplied.
79 Performance

Branched Chain Amino Acids (Free Form)

Life Extension
The formula provides 1.2 g leucine, 0.6 g isoleucine, and 0.6 g valine in a focused alternative, although the supplied data do not establish a clear across-the-board upgrade over the original. The serving remains modest for standalone use, and full directions and excipient details are not supplied.
60 Budget

Daily Amino Acid

21st Century
The lower listed serving cost provides small BCAA amounts within a broad essential-amino-acid blend, making it a more economical choice than the original. All three BCAA amounts are well below meaningful standalone levels, so the apparent serving value overstates practical coverage.
80 Budget

Mega-Size BCAA 1000 Caps

Optimum Nutrition
The lower listed serving cost provides 0.5 g leucine, 0.25 g isoleucine, and 0.25 g valine, making it a more economical choice than the original. All three BCAA amounts are well below meaningful standalone levels, so the apparent serving value overstates practical coverage.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

Lake Avenue Nutrition
Fewer than three eligible products cost less per serving; among the nearest-priced options, this formula provides 1.6 g leucine, 0.65 g isoleucine, and 0.65 g valine. Leucine still sits below a strong standalone muscle-protein trigger, and full directions and excipient details are not supplied.

The Original Smash Apple

XTEND
3.5 g leucine, 1.75 g isoleucine, and 1.75 g valine, plus glutamine, citrulline malate, and electrolytes offer a practical quality-and-cost tradeoff, although the supplied data do not establish clearly better value than the original. The expanded powder formula adds ingredients beyond the original three-amino-acid focus, which may be unnecessary for someone seeking only BCAAs.

All three BCAA amounts are well below meaningful standalone levels, so the apparent serving value overstates practical coverage.
