    Thanks Premier. ICE is a BCAA powder. Here's a description of ICE:


    ICE™ contains the most scientifically advanced blend of Glutamine and Branch Chain Amino Acids available anywhere. Not only are the three Branch Chain Amino Acids (L-Leucine, L-Valine, & L-Isoleucine) included in precision amounts, but 2 more amino acids are in place to supercharge the formula. Namely L-Proline (which is superb for repair and recovery at the cellular level), and L-Histidine (which acts as a potent vasodilator within the muscle itself by opening up a large pathway for the branch chain amino acids to easily enter and get down to business). Lastly, Vitamin B6 is included to dramatically enhance absorption and in fact is an absolute must for proper BCAA utilization. Without Vitamin B6 present, the transport of the Branch Chain Amino Acids within the cellular interior is severely inhibited, definitely not something the serious weight training athlete needs.

    I also take my BCAA before bed. Or take it on an empty stomach.

    I agree with the ZMA. For the Swole, Syntrax recommends one scoop after workout with food, and once scoop eight hours later with food. That's what I do and it seems to work, although obviously everyone reacts differently.

    I am unfamiliar with ICE.

    Swole -- post-workout.

    ZMA -- save your money, just supplement with a zinc vitamin, if you feel it is necessary.

    ICE -- when cutting, take as much as is affordable. Otherwise, take 4 scoops pre or during your workout.
