A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is a complex of three essential amino acids leucine (0.991 g), isoleucine (0.542 g) and valine (0.687 g). Pine nuts contain 2.22 grams of BCAAs per every 100 grams.
Creatine can be synthesized in the body from the three common amino acids glycine (0.691 g), arginine (2.413 g) and methionine (0.259 g). Pine nuts contain 3.363 grams of these amino acids per every 100 grams.
