These are usually manufactured in Japan or Korea and are derived mainly from corn. The high demand for BCAAs has caused manufacturers to streamline their process over the last few years, which has made this alternative much more appealing as costs have gone down greatly.

Remember me Log in. Solvents are used to extract BCAAs from the keratin. Now, here is the crazy part of the secret, but make sure you are sitting down because it is like walking in on your grandparents' bedroom at the wrong time. Human hair from cadaver dead peop le scalps. And you thought you were not a cannibal. Although most manufacturers try to keep their actual source of the keratin secret, industry insiders feel that, besides human hair, the majority of products use ducks, chickens, and other bird feathers.
Although not as popular as human hair and feathers, both outer layers of skin and the hairs on a pig are rich sources of keratin as well. Any time you use an animal or human form of keratin, it requires extensive use of solvents and other chemicals to separate the amino acids from the dead tissue, which runs the risk of scarring the amino structure and getting contaminants in the powder. That means other things besides the BCAAs are present. Could it be a little part of someone?
Plant-based BCAAs are made using fermentation. This uses a friendly probiotic bacteria and a plant to create concentrated sources of Leucine, Iso-leucine, and Valine. Raw BCAAs absorb so much better than their cooked counterparts. Does the BCAA powder itself get absorbed? This is a very important subject and one that holds true not only with BCAAs but also other powders like Creatine. This means the powder granules are in the smallest form available and are instantly dissolved in liquid.
Other forms have a chance to not be absorbed at all. Although we are talking BCAAs, it is easier to explain this referring to creatine monohydrate.
Regular Creatine Monohydrate is made using a mesh size, which means it is not very soluble. They started micronizing it into a mesh and is much more soluble and mixes easier. If your gut tells you that artificial dyes, sweeteners like Sucralose, aspartame, and others along with other artificial ingredients are bad for you, you have a good gut feel.
Artificial sugars like Sucralose and aspartame have proven university research showing they can wipe out your friendly probiotics in your gut and cause all kinds of problems with your immune system. Leucine, isoleucine, and valine are three of the nine essential amino acids which comprise BCAA formulas. BCAAs are found in muscles and are broken down in the muscle tissue of the body rather than in the liver like many other amino acids.
Because of BCAAs relationship with muscles they are a favorite supplement of athletes looking to boost energy and aid in muscle growth and recovery. Since your body cannot produce these amino acids it is essential that you ingest them in your diet. Foods that are high in BCAAs include animal proteins, lentils, chickpeas, and pumpkin seeds. However, for many athletes wanting to ensure the sufficient consumption of BCAAs to meet their fitness goals or support their workouts , supplementation of BCAAs in the form of pills and powders is a popular solution.
It is an unfortunate truth that in the past almost all BCAAs available were made from keratin harvested from the chemical processing of animal hair, hooves, and feathers. In some cases, conventional BCAA supplements are even made from human hair.
If a plant-based or vegan diet is important to you but your BCAA supplementation comes from a pre-mixed blend of other supplements, you might have a hard time ascertaining if your BCAAs are vegan or not.
