Product details
Where this label sits
Nutricost BCAA Powder is one of the amino formulas in the Scoop Sense database. Every active ingredient on the panel is listed with its own dose — nothing is hidden inside a blend total. It runs 30 servings per container at the full labeled serving. Everything on this page comes from the manufacturer's supplement facts panel as of July 2026 — never from the marketing page.
Key ingredients & studied doses
- L-Leucine · 3 g. The essential amino acid most studied for triggering muscle protein synthesis after training.
- L-Isoleucine · 1.5 g. Works alongside leucine and valine in the branched-chain trio.
- L-Valine · 1.5 g. Completes the standard 2:1:1 BCAA ratio used in most recovery research.
Flavors & sweetener
Eleven flavor options plus unflavored, in container sizes from 30 to 150 servings.
Who it's best for
A BCAA-only formula — three of the nine essential amino acids, which suits taste-driven intra-workout sipping more than protein replacement. A reasonable pick when cost per serving matters. Derived from the label figures above — not medical advice.
How we log this label
Every entry is built the same way: we read the current supplement facts panel, log each disclosed dose, compare it against the amounts used in published research, flag proprietary blends, and state the cautions plainly. The full methodology explains each step.
This label against the research
How we evaluate labelsEach bar shows the amount commonly used in published human research, and where this label's dose falls against it. Research amounts are context, not a recommendation — they are not doses, and nothing here is medical advice.

Leucine3 g
At or above the studied amount0studied range 0.7 g–3 g4 g
The ISSN position stand puts an acute protein dose at 700–3000 mg of leucine, and about 1–3 g per meal as the amount needed to stimulate protein translation.

Common questions about Nutricost BCAA Powder
Is Nutricost BCAA Powder an EAA or a BCAA product?
BCAA-only: it supplies the three branched-chain aminos (6 g per serving) but not the other six essential amino acids that full-EAA formulas include.
Does Nutricost BCAA Powder disclose every dose?
Yes — the label lists an individual amount for each ingredient, with no proprietary blends. That is what the "label fully disclosed" tag on Scoop Sense means, and it is what lets each dose be compared against the amounts used in published research.
