A branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) is a complex of three essential amino acids leucine (1.075 g), isoleucine (0.686 g) and valine (0.767 g). Hard-boiled eggs contain 2.528 grams of BCAAs per every 100 grams.
Creatine can be synthesized in the body from the three common amino acids glycine (0.423 g), arginine (0.755 g) and methionine (0.392 g). Hard-boiled eggs contain 1.57 grams of these amino acids per every 100 grams.
