Two related terms
Essential amino acids must come from the diet. The branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine are a subset of them. A BCAA number and an EAA number are therefore not interchangeable.
Check the heading first
Alpha Whey presents an amino-acid profile per 100 g protein. The main nutrition declaration is per 100 g powder and per serving. Before comparing numbers, check that both tables use the same reference basis.
No extra formula implied
The existence of a BCAA profile does not mean that every amino acid has been added separately. The ingredients list is the place to identify added ingredients. Read it alongside the table, and ask for clarification whenever the printed information is unclear.
