L-Leucine — 250 mg: An essential branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) that activates muscle protein synthesis and supports muscle repair and recovery.*
L-Lysine HCl — 250 mg: An essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis, collagen formation, and tissue repair. It also supports calcium absorption.*
L-Isoleucine — 150 mg: An essential BCAA involved in muscle protein synthesis, glucose metabolism, and energy production during exercise.*
L-Valine — 150 mg: An essential BCAA that contributes to muscle protein synthesis, tissue repair, and energy metabolism.*
L-Threonine — 150 mg: An essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and the production of structural proteins, including collagen and elastin.*
L-Phenylalanine — 100 mg: An essential amino acid that serves as a precursor to tyrosine, which is used to produce neurotransmitters involved in attention, mood, and alertness.*
L-Histidine — 50 mg: An essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and the production of histamine and carnosine, a compound that helps buffer acidity in muscle tissue.*
L-Tryptophan — 50 mg: An essential amino acid used to produce serotonin and melatonin, which are involved in mood regulation and sleep.*
L-Methionine — 50 mg: An essential sulfur-containing amino acid involved in protein synthesis, methylation reactions, and the production of other important compounds, including cysteine.*

Reviewed by Garett Reid, MSc, CSCS, CISSNStrength coach & sports nutrition specialist · · About the author
Bucked Up Essentials EAA Capsules provide all nine essential amino acids in a convenient, stimulant-free formula designed to support muscle protein synthesis and exercise recovery.
Each two-capsule serving contains 1,200 mg of EAAs, including 250 mg of leucine, 150 mg of isoleucine, and 150 mg of valine. The formula uses plant-based capsules, contains no proprietary blends, and is third-party tested.
I like that Bucked Up includes all nine EAAs rather than just the three BCAAs, with every ingredient individually disclosed. However, the total dose is relatively small, particularly the 250 mg of leucine, which falls well below the approximately 2–3 g commonly associated with maximizing muscle protein synthesis. For most people consuming adequate dietary protein, I see little additional benefit from this supplement.
