L-Leucine — 3,000 mg: Primary BCAA involved in stimulating muscle protein synthesis and supporting muscle growth and recovery.*
L-Isoleucine — 1,500 mg: Essential BCAA that supports muscle recovery, protein synthesis, and glucose utilization during exercise.*
L-Valine — 1,500 mg: Essential BCAA that supports muscle recovery and provides an additional energy source during exercise.*
L-Lysine HCl — 800 mg: Essential amino acid involved in protein and collagen synthesis, carnitine production, and tissue repair.*
L-Threonine — 690 mg: Essential amino acid that contributes to protein synthesis and the production of structural proteins such as collagen and elastin.*
L-Phenylalanine — 350 mg: Essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to tyrosine and neurotransmitters involved in normal cognitive function.*
L-Histidine — 100 mg: Essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and the body's production of carnosine and histamine.*
L-Tryptophan — 50 mg: Essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to serotonin and supports normal mood and neurological function.*

Garett Reid, MSc, CSCS, CISSNStrength coach & sports nutrition specialist · About the author
Bucked Up's Essential Amino Acids is a favorite because it gives you a generous dose of amino acids while keeping everything straightforward and fully disclosed.
I’m generally biased toward simpler formulas like this because you know exactly what you’re getting: 8g of all nine essential amino acids, including a substantial 6g of BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio. It's simple, easy to use and we know EAAs provide benefits, especially during cuts or prolonged workouts.*
The standout for me is the 3g of leucine, which provides a strong leucine dose for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. Unlike a standalone BCAA, you’re also getting the other six essential amino acids needed to actually build new muscle protein.
That makes this a particularly useful option around training for supporting muscle growth and recovery, while the stimulant-free formula makes it easy to use alongside virtually any pre-workout or training stack.*
