{{stub}} '''Branched chain amino acids''' or '''BCAAs''' are a group of [[amino acid]]s often sold as nutritional supplements. The three branched chain amino acids are [[valine]], [[leucine]] and [[isoleucine]].<ref name="vanderPollch">{{Cite book | title = Guide to Nutritional Supplements | pages = 7-8|isbn=978-0-12-375661-9|edition= | volume = |language=en| title-link = | url = https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=_VjxiHvdlOQC&newbks=0&lpg=PA7&pg=PA7#v=snippet&f=true|access-date= | date = 2009-09-02| publisher = Academic Press | last = van der Poll | first = MCG | author-link = | last2 = Luiking | first2 = YC | author-link2 = | last3 = Dejong | first3 = CHC | author-link3 = | last4 = Soeters | first4 = PB | author-link4 = |veditors=|others=|doi=|oclc=|quote=|archive-url=|archive-date=|location=Oxford, UK|editor-last = Caballero|editor-first = Benjamin| editor1-link = |editor-last2 = |editor-first2 = |chapter=Amino Acids}}</ref> ==Potential uses == ==Theory== ==Evidence== Limited studies of BCAA supplementation have shown BCAAs reduce pain from [[Delayed onset muscle soreness|Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness]] (DOMS) caused by excessive muscle use in untrained healthy adults, BCAA supplementation reduced muscle damage during both muscle overuse and endurance exercise.<ref name="Shimomura2010">{{Cite journal | title = Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplementation Before Squat Exercise and Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness | date = 2010-06-01 | url = https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijsnem/20/3/article-p236.xml | journal = International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism | volume = 20 | issue = 3 | pages = 236β244 | last = Shimomura | first = Yoshiharu | last2 = Inaguma | first2 = Asami | last3 = Watanabe | first3 = Satoko | last4 = Yamamoto | first4 = Yuko | last5 = Muramatsu | first5 = Yuji | last6 = Bajotto | first6 = Gustavo | last7 = Sato | first7 = Juichi | last8 = Shimomura | first8 = Noriko | last9 = Kobayashi | first9 = Hisamine | last10 = Mawatari | first10 = Kazunori|language=en-US|doi=10.1123/ijsnem.20.3.236|issn=1543-2742}}</ref><ref name="Greer2007">{{Cite journal | title = Branched-Chain Amino Acid Supplementation and Indicators of Muscle Damage after Endurance Exercise | date = 2007-12-01 | url = https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijsnem/17/6/article-p595.xml | journal = International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism | volume = 17 | issue = 6 | pages = 595β607 | last = Greer | first = Beau Kjerulf | last2 = Woodard | first2 = John L. | last3 = White | first3 = Jim P. | last4 = Arguello | first4 = Eric M. | last5 = Haymes | first5 = Emily M.|language=en-US|doi=10.1123/ijsnem.17.6.595|issn=1543-2742}}</ref> However, DOMS occurs is healthy people and is not the same as [[post-exertional malaise]]. {{See also|Delayed onset muscle soreness}} ==Clinicians== ==Risks and side effects== Clinical trials of increased dietary BCAAs or BCAA supplements have not been carried out in ME/CFS patients.
