A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is a complex of three essential amino acids leucine (n/d), isoleucine (n/d) and valine (n/d). Tamarinds contain 0 grams of BCAAs per every 100 grams.
Creatine can be synthesized in the body from the three common amino acids glycine (n/d), arginine (n/d) and methionine (0.014 g). Tamarinds contain 0.014 grams of these amino acids per every 100 grams.
