Can We Take BCAA and Whey Protein Together

• Let us look at both these things in detail. Whey
  protein is obtained from milk and is said to have
  9 essential amino acids. Whey protein and casein
  are the two proteins found in milk. Casein
  digests slowly in the body when compared to whey
  protein. Whey protein is of three types whey
  concentrate, whey isolate and whey hydrolysate. 
  BCAA stands for Branched Chain Amino Acid and
  there are three important BCAAs Valine, Leucine
  and Isoleucine. They are grouped together since
  they have molecular structure that branches to
  one side. BCAAs are required by the body as they
  might help with many things such as reduction of
  muscle damage and building muscle mass.

• You can take both whey protein and BCAA together.
  It wont cause any harm. In fact these days,
  there are many protein supplements with BCAA in
  Indian market Some popular brands are Muscle
  Blaze, MyProtein, ON, GNC, etc. You can opt for
  flavoured and unflavoured options depending on
  your preference. Always check the amount of
  protein in the product. You can compare the
  protein content per scoop and the price per scoop
  of each product. Many products contain Soy,
  vegetable fats and oils, natural and artificial
  flavouring substances, etc. and you need to read
  the contents well before selecting a product. One
  thing to remember is that flavoured protein
  powders (such as chocolate, vanilla, etc.) tend
  to contain more additives in them.
• Your diet is also important. Dont rely only on
  supplements as there is only so much they can
  help. Do have a healthy meal filled with natural
  protein sources like Dal, veges, etc. Each
  persons protein requirement also differs based
  on their age, weight, activity, diet, etc.
