Optimum Nutrition BCAA 1000 is a capsule‑based, 2:1:1 leucine‑isoleucine‑valine blend aimed at supporting muscle gain, sold in multiple pack sizes and flavours.
+ 500 mg L‑Leucine, 250 mg L‑Isoleucine and 250 mg L‑Valine per serving, with all doses fully disclosed. + Uses gelatin and microcrystalline cellulose as capsule and filler ingredients, a formulation choice noted as uncommon among similar BCAA products. + Reportedly manufactured in Middlesbrough, UK, in GMP‑registered, Informed Sport/Choice‑registered facilities with Grade A BRC certification. - Gelatin capsules mean the product is not suitable for vegans or those avoiding animal‑derived ingredients. - Nutrition information such as calories and sugars is not provided on the listing.
The family shares a consistent 2:1:1 BCAA ratio and transparent dosing across all variants, distinguishing it from many peers that often hide exact amino‑acid amounts. Its use of gelatin and microcrystalline cellulose is relatively rare in the category, offering a clear, simple ingredient list but limiting suitability for plant‑based diets. Pricing tiers differ by pack size, with larger bottles generally offering a more economical option.
