  I googled on it but only find sales websites. It doesnt specify "not to be taken by children under 18" But still i dont dare to take the risk.

  The phrase branched-chain amino acids or BCAA is sometimes used to refer to the amino acids having aliphatic side-chains that are non-linear. These are leucine, isoleucine and valine. The combination of these three essential amino acids make up approximately 1/3 of skeletal muscle in the human body, and play an important role in protein synthesis. BCAA’s are currently used clinically to aid in the recovery of burn victims, as well as for supplementation for strength athletes.

  If you wanna buy BCAAs, buy it in powder form. Pill form is 10x more expensive.

  There's no proof that protein powder is any healthier... How is it related to investing in health?
  
  Unless you mean investing in exercises as well.
