BCAA capsules for muscle building & performance
BCAAs are branched-chain amino acids that include leucine, valine and isoleucine. They play a central role in muscle building because they are utilised directly in the muscles – our BCAA capsules are therefore ideal for ambitious athletes who want to specifically support their performance.
Why you should buy BCAAs:
- Muscle building & maintenance: They support the growth in thickness of muscle fibres (hypertrophy) and provide energy during intense exercise.
- Energy source: BCAAs supply the muscles directly with energy during training.
- Essential nutrients: BCAAs must be supplied through diet or supplements, as the body cannot produce them itself.

FAQ
BCAA capsules contain the three essential amino acids L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine - in compact doses, easy to take and particularly popular during exercise.
BCAA capsules are practical, tasteless and easy to dose - ideal for on the go. Powder is suitable if you prefer flexible dosages or shakes. Both have advantages.
The comparison 2:1:1 vs. 4:1:1 is about the ratio of L-leucine, L-isoleucine and L-valine. 2:1:1 is the proven, balanced formula that is also frequently used in studies. 4:1:1 focusses more strongly on leucine. BIOGENA relies on the natural 2:1:1 - for a balanced BCAA supply during training.
The recommended daily intake is 4 capsules.
Take either 2 x 2 with meals or 4 capsules approx. 1 hour before training.
BIOGENA relies on the pure substance principle in the production of BCAAs - this means: only selected ingredients, no additives such as colourings, flavourings or coatings. The BCAAs are processed in tested quality, are 100% vegan, hypoallergenic and are produced in Austria to the highest standards. So you get exactly what matters - no more and no less.
You can buy BIOGENA SPORTS BCAA 500 directly from the BIOGENA webshop at biogena.com. You can also buy the products from our local BIOGENA stores (e.g. in London).
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
