robert Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Hey, a friend just phoned asking about Brands of products that are vegan BCAA products. I couldn't find mine at home (moved to a new house) and couldn't remember brand names. Anyone know brand names of for Vegan Branch Chain Amino Acids? Thanks!

rdandrew Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Yeah - you have to check with the company to see if its vegan. Some are derived from dairy. These brands have a vegan BCAA product:Scivation Xtend NOW Arizona Nutritionals (Blox)Optimum Nutrition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaN Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I am going to hope someone knows if there are any UK vegan BCAA's? And by the way, do they really help? Has anyone gone from not using them, to using them & noticed a marked difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xphilx Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 i'm using the PEAK BCAA's. since they're a big company i think you'll get their stuff in the uk, too. and yes, they help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seitan_man Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 What the heck are these things and are they really necessary? Sound like a highly manufactured, man made product to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xphilx Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 google for informations.. they're not necessary but helpful in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdandrew Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 What the heck are these things and are they really necessary? Sound like a highly manufactured, man made product to me. Well, a BCAA supplement on it's own is definitely not a "naturally occuring" product. BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, valine) are found in foods with protein. BCAA supps can be helpful for someone interested in preserving/gaining muscle mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisjs Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I feel like reviving this thread. The BCAAs from TrueProtein are not vegan. Carl emailed me back today to say "the materials are synthetically derived, but are often derived from animal feathers and other animal byproducts". ALLMAX Nutrition makes a BCAA that's labeled "100% Animal Free". I just emailed Scivation to double check on XTEND. Update: Derek from Scivation says that "Xtend is 100% animal free." Anyone know of any other vegan brands currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
