About this page: Data is drawn from Nutriofia's structured database of published sources (CoFID, USDA, and published analytical literature). The coverage bar shows what percentage of our 1136 foods have been measured for Valine. This is a research tool — nothing here constitutes medical advice.

About Valine

An essential BCAA involved in muscle metabolism and energy production during activity.

⚠️ Too little

Deficiency is uncommon; usually reflects insufficient dietary protein.

🚫 Too much

High-dose BCAA supplements are not usually necessary if dietary protein is adequate; food sources are generally safe.
