BCAA Ratio Calculator
Analyse the ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine in your BCAA supplement. Find out if your formula matches the optimal 2:1:1 profile or any other common ratio.
Step 1: BCAA Content (mg)
Understanding BCAA ratios
The classic 2:1:1 ratio (Leu:Ile:Val) is often considered optimal for muscle protein synthesis. Leucine is the key trigger for muscle growth.

How ratio is calculated
Divide each amino acid by the smallest among the three to get the normalised ratio. Then compare to target multipliers.
