EAA – Essential Amino Acids
What it is:
EAA contains the 9 amino acids the body can’t produce on its own. They are needed for muscle growth and recovery.
Benefits:
- Complete profile of all essential amino acids
- Supports muscle growth and helps prevent muscle breakdown
- Easy for the body to absorb
- Swedish-made, vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, sugar-free
When to take EAA:
Best on an empty stomach.
– Right when you wake up
– During your workout
It absorbs quickly when nothing slows it down.
BCAA – Branched-Chain Amino Acids
What it is:
BCAA consists of three essential amino acids: leucine, valine and isoleucine. Leucine is the strongest trigger for muscle building. Many BCAA products include extra leucine and sometimes citrulline malate for better pump and endurance.
Benefits:
- High concentration of leucine
- Supports muscle building
- Can improve endurance
- Easy to drink and often great-tasting
- Vegan, sugar-free, gluten-free, lactose-free
When to take BCAA:
– Before training
– During training
– Can also be taken after your workout for a quick refill
Quick difference
- EAA: all 9 essential amino acids. Best on an empty stomach or during the session.
- BCAA: 3 amino acids with focus on leucine. Best around training (before/during).
Extra short summary
- Both are vegan, low-calorie, and easy on the stomach – and they work well together.
- EAA = all 9 essential aminos, great for muscle growth and recovery.
- BCAA = 3 aminos (leucine, valine, isoleucine), mainly for triggering muscle building.
- EAA is best on an empty stomach – morning or during the workout.
- BCAA is best before or during training – for energy and to prevent breakdown.
