Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are essential nutrients comprising L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine. Produced via microbial fermentation or enzymatic hydrolysis, these compounds feature a distinct aliphatic side chain. Their general molecular formula is C6H13NO2 with specific CAS numbers: Leucine (64-06-2), Isoleucine (73-32-5), and Valine (72-18-4).
Strict adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is required during handling. Store in cool, dry environments below 25°C to prevent degradation. Clinical use requires physician supervision to avoid hyperammonemia risks in patients with liver insufficiency.
