BCAA High Ratio (4:1:1+)
Guides and comparisons BCAA vs EAA: compare amino acid profiles and labels
BCAA powders with a ratio of 4:1:1 or higher, including 10:1:1, in 300 g to 500 g tubs in cherry, orange, pineapple, peach, mango and strawberry flavours. In a ratio such as 4:1:1 the first number gives the parts of leucine for one part each of isoleucine and valine. Compare tubs by the grams of each of the three amino acids in one serving rather than by the ratio in the name. Some titles add glutamine, which the ingredient list names separately.

Frequently asked questions
Does a higher BCAA ratio mean more BCAA per serving?
No. A ratio such as 4:1:1 or 10:1:1 only describes how the three amino acids are proportioned. The amount in a serving depends on the serving size and on the amounts declared, so compare the grams of each amino acid in the table, not the ratio in the name.
What does “+ Glutamine” in a BCAA powder name mean?
The product also contains L-glutamine, an amino acid that is not one of the three BCAAs. The ingredient list names it and the nutrition table gives its amount per serving, so compare the BCAAs and the glutamine separately.
What share of the BCAAs is leucine at 4:1:1 and at 10:1:1?
Add up the parts of the ratio. At 4:1:1 there are six parts and leucine is four of them, two thirds of the total; at 10:1:1 there are twelve parts and leucine is ten, five sixths. Isoleucine and valine are one sixth each at 4:1:1 and one twelfth each at 10:1:1.
