About
BCAA powder is a dietary supplement of essential amino acids that packs loosely at about 4.6 ounces per cup.
BCAA powder has a typical bulk density of about 34 pounds per cubic foot (0.55 grams per milliliter). It is made from the amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine ground into a dry, granular form. The particles hold pockets of air, so it takes up nearly twice the volume of granulated sugar or table salt of the same weight. A standard 0.18-ounce (5-gram) serving measures out to roughly two level teaspoons.
From Wikipedia
A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is an amino acid having an aliphatic side-chain with a branch. Among the proteinogenic amino acids, there are three BCAAs: leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
