                                Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) are unique essential amino acids that bypass the liver and are metabolized directly by muscle tissue, allowing for rapid absorption into the bloodstream. This makes them readily available to muscles for immediate use, but optimal timing depends on your specific fitness goals.
