A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is a complex of three essential amino acids leucine (0.700 g), isoleucine (0.387 g) and valine (0.504 g). Navy beans contain 1.591 grams of BCAAs per every 100 grams.
Creatine can be synthesized in the body from the three common amino acids glycine (0.326 g), arginine (0.415 g) and methionine (0.111 g). Navy beans contain 0.852 grams of these amino acids per every 100 grams.
