A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is a complex of three essential amino acids leucine (0.120 g), isoleucine (0.076 g) and valine (0.232 g). White mushrooms contain 0.428 grams of BCAAs per every 100 grams.
Creatine can be synthesized in the body from the three common amino acids glycine (0.092 g), arginine (0.078 g) and methionine (0.031 g). White mushrooms contain 0.201 grams of these amino acids per every 100 grams.
