Default 2:1:1 BCAA ratio = Purpose?
What is the purpose of companies that their BCAAs have a ratio of 2:1:1.

Does this have something to do with absorption or something related to this?

What is the reasoning behind this?

I've searched a bit for this but didn't come to any conclusion except that maybe I'm looking in the wrong places? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it!

Thank you.

From what I know, Leucine is the king here because it helps drastically in the uptake of protein after absorption - Traps is better knowledged on this than myself though.

Regarding leucine, it is great for preventing muscle loss due to the fact that it doesn't allow cannibalization of muscle during a workout. Leucine, if I'm not mistaken also promotes the healing of bones, skin, and muscle tissue after traumatic injury. I also hear it helps to regulate blood sugar, but that's leucine.

What I'm asking is about the ratio many companies boast about in their products:

The 2:1:1: ratio that is.

What is the purpose of this ratio? I've always wondered this..

Landmark studies indicate that a 2:1:1 ratio of leucine to isoleucine to valine is most effective. This ratio has been shown to be the most productive when it comes to BCAA absorption and effectiveness.
