It is leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They are present in all protein-containing foods, especially in dairy and red meats. BCAAs are needed during intense physical stress for the maintenance of muscle tissue. They also help speed recovery. I hear many people say to take them right before and right after a workout. From what I understand, any good protein powder contains BCAAs.

Right, and ON's stuff has BCAA's in their 100% whey.
unless you actually qualify as an 'athlete'...training multiple hours a day for competitions...then no, BCAA supplementation beyond what's already in your food and protein powder isn't necessary.
they wouldn't hurt you, but it'd really just be a money sink as you just wouldn't really utilize the excess.

Does ON have "enough" or is it something i should look into?
No. I'm hearing from Alan Aragon that typical protein is sufficient in BCAAs, so when I run out of BCAA caps, I'm not restocking.
