Yamamoto® Nutrition BCAA PRO 4:1:1 is a matrix composed of 100% pharmaceutical-grade branched-chain amino acids, obtained through Ajinomoto® Ajipure® plant-based fermentation, ensuring exceptional purity and bioavailability. The formula features a 4:1:1 ratio of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine, delivering a higher concentration of leucine—considered the key amino acid for muscle protein synthesis.
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are three essential amino acids that the human body cannot produce in sufficient quantities and must be obtained through the diet. They belong to the essential amino acid group and are fundamental building blocks for proteins.
The formula is enriched with vitamin B1, which contributes to normal energy metabolism, and vitamin B6, which helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and supports normal protein and glycogen metabolism.
Key characteristics of the BCAAs:
- L-Leucine: Crucial for protein synthesis and used as an alternative energy source during intense training. Found in milk, corn, chicken, and eggs.
- L-Isoleucine: A glucogenic and ketogenic amino acid that aids muscle recovery and prevents catabolism. Present in corn, potatoes, chicken, and eggs.
- L-Valine: Involved in tissue repair and maintenance, found in egg whites, soy protein, spirulina, and dairy products.
BCAAs make up around 35% of the essential amino acids in muscle protein and are key to maintaining and developing lean muscle mass. Supplementation may also help reduce muscle fatigue and improve exercise performance.
Leucine, in particular, plays a dominant role in activating mTOR, the key pathway for muscle protein synthesis.
Another unique feature of BCAAs is that, unlike other amino acids, they bypass the liver and are directly metabolized in muscle tissue via the enzyme BCAA aminotransferase—making them fast-acting for muscle support. They are also insulinogenic, stimulating insulin without being glucogenic, which can be beneficial for post-exercise nutrient uptake.
BCAA supplements serve three key functions:
- Contribute to muscle protein synthesis
- Serve as an energy source during exercise
- Act as signaling molecules for muscle metabolism and recovery

Our Advice: We recommend taking the product before or after a workout, depending on individual objectives. When taken before a workout, it will have an energy function and provide protection against skeletal muscle degradation; when used during or after a workout, it will counteract muscle catabolism, promoting growth while preserving tissues subjected to exertion.
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Should they be taken before or after a training session?
Taking BCAAs is a correct strategy both before and after a workout, as they are highly effective in both cases. They counteract the muscle catabolism that occurs after strenuous exercise and at the same time provide the muscle with plastic material. Our advice is therefore to divide intake between the pre- and post-workout periods. - I take branched-chain amino acids: is it right to add protein intake as well?
Most proteins of high biological value contain a full spectrum of essential amino acids, including all branched-chain amino acids. In situations such as low-calorie, high-protein diets, increased requirements or even sarcopenia, taking BCAAs can play a supporting role. Whether protein and amino acids should be taken together depends on the quality (biological value) of the protein and the total daily protein intake. If you are taking BCAAs but your protein requirements are not met, you can also take protein at the same time. - So which ratio should I opt for: 2:1:1, 4:1:1 or 8:1:1?
The answer to this question is not as obvious as it may seem. Several different variables, and in many cases the reason for using the supplement, must be taken into consideration. Below you will find some advice to help you choose.
BCAA 2:1:1 – Their main purpose is to provide energy support during long and intense training sessions and facilitate muscle recovery. They are therefore suitable for use both pre- and post-workout.
BCAA 4:1:1 – Reducing fatigue, supporting increased energy demands and recovery are the main benefits of taking this type of BCAA. They are therefore best taken during or after a training session.
BCAA 8:1:1 – Do we need to maximise recovery after a workout? The high leucine content promotes this process while meeting the energy demands that arise at the end of a training session.
Warnings: Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Do not use during pregnancy and in children, or for prolonged periods without consulting a doctor. Keep out of reach of children under 3 years of age. Food supplements should not be considered as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
