Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are a group of three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine. These amino acids are considered "essential" because the body cannot produce them on its own and must obtain them from the diet. BCAAs help with muscle protein synthesis, energy during exercise, and reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness and fatigue. These essential amino acids can be found in foods like chicken, beef, salmon, and eggs. Ancient civilizations, without the knowledge of BCAAs, still consumed these amino acids through their traditional diets rich in meats and fish.

Whey protein concentrate is a type of dietary supplement derived from whey, the liquid portion of milk that separates during cheese production. It is a popular source of protein and is used by many individuals, including athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those looking to increase their protein intake.

• Protein Content: Typically contains between 70% to 80% protein, but this can vary depending on the specific product. The rest consists of naturally occurring fats and carbohydrates.
• Other Nutrients: Contains more of the beneficial nutrients found naturally in whole whey protein. This includes lactose, fats, and various immunoglobulins (antibodies) which can have their own health benefits.
• Digestibility: Generally easy to digest unless one is lactose intolerant. The lactose content in WPC can sometimes cause digestive issues for those who are sensitive.
• Taste & Texture: It tends to have a creamier texture and more neutral taste due to its fat and lactose content.
• Complete Protein: Both WPC and WPI are considered complete proteins, meaning they contain all nine essential amino acids.
• BCAAs: WPC is rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) which are crucial for muscle growth and recovery.
  

Glutamine or L-Glutamine is an amino acid that the body can synthesize itself, but can be under-produced during periods of intense exercise and stress, so supplementation is important. Glutamine is important for maintaining the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract lining, as well as replenishing glycogen stores in the muscles and liver after a workout, which is essential for sustained energy during subsequent exercise sessions, and muscle recovery. This amino acid is abundant in beef, chicken, and fish. Historically, bone broths, rich in glutamine, were consumed for gut health and recovery.
