Thread: BCAA supplement feedback

.... i have been wondering the same thing hahah

If you want BCAAs, then take BCAAs. The product you listed isn't BCAAs, more like a bad mixture of EAAs with some random additional crap tossed in.

BCAAs won't give you a boost, period. That's like thinking protein will give you a boost. BCAAs are only about edge nutrition... either compensating for reduced calories during a recomp, muscle sparing if you exercise in the morning while intermittent fasting, or adjusting the amino acid profile of the foods you eat to reflect a higher percentage of leucine, isoleucine and valine to try and get that last bit of anabolism (or anti-catabolism) out of them.

I use BCAA powder, but I'm also doing a recomposition diet combined with intermittent fasting. I use them peri-workout to avoid catabolism. If you're bulking, you probably won't notice any difference from them.

get Modern BCAAs by USP labs or BCAAs by PP...those are my two fav

Powder is way more economical than BCAA caps

Scivation Xtend bro is popular as heck. It taste and mixes easily and Orbitnutrition.com has it in stock. One of my fav BCAA supps of all time.

Xtend is a fav of mine too, especially the grape one.

I think most places have a sale on it since scivation reformulated it and retailers are getting rid of the old stuff

Don't get caps is a pain in the ass to take it. Just get powder like these guys told u.

Either get 1kg (economical) or try Recoup from Dymatize. It contains ajinomoto amino acids, which r top of the line aminos. Blueberry and lemonade tastes amazing.

anything posative about taking them? or is it just good for you?

I'm kinda thinking this stuff is a waiste of money with all the protein we already eat.

thats what im tryna get at. Will i notice anything? im not spending my money on somthing unless i get noticble possative sides such as more awake or focused, better sleep, more enegerny, idk and idc as long as its something better then not taking it lmao if its slim to non as far as possativy then im not spending the $

Dude, proteins and amino acids don't give u energy or stuff like that, I mean wtf?

BCAAs and insulin work together to transport other amino acids into cells for repair and growth. BCAAs will also help fight catabolism if u take them before workout and especially b4 morning cardio.
It also decreases visceral fat.

One more thing: BCAAs make for 33% of your muscles. When BCAKAD enzyme activates (from lactic acid build up) it than degrades BCAAs in working muscles. It means muscle catabolism.

Get BCAA for preworkout. Period.

HAHAH i knoqw they dont give me energy i was using that as an example lol. i was asking will buyig BCAA's benfit gains or anything like that is what im getting at!
but thanks for the info fuck ill buy some!

I see a huge difference when taking my BCAA's every day. For me I recovery a hell of a lot faster then without them. I like throwing a scoop in with my whey shake pre-workout. Then i take some at night straight up with water. Arnold said it best when he mentioned these being the basic building block of our bodies, enough said IMO.
