Key point:

"So, BCAAs do not boost muscle growth. Furthermore, it’s best to ingest all nine EAAs together instead of just the three BCAAs alone. This can be done with an EAA supplement, but those are not cost-effective. What’s best and most cost-effective is a protein source that includes all nine amino acids. This could be a whey protein powder or a whole food source, preferably animal-based: beef, chicken, fish, dairy, etc. (Vegans can get all nine amino acids together from a few plant sources, including quinoa, chia, and spirulina, or by combining non-animal foods.)"
