Any sups out there that helps maintain muscle mass while on a cut?

Someone commented something about ala to me. Ring any bells? I use very little sups and know very little about em. I use whey, CEE, and a good multi and thats about it. After 11 years of this, theres just so much new stuff out now!

I took some BCAA's in liquid form about 5 or 6 years ago. I dont know that I notticed anything, but I was also 19 a well. Any good brands to recommend?

Well, i've heard nothing but good things about Xtend, but I personally make my own BCAA drink for my workouts. BCAA, CM, water and gatorade

keep your protein high (a serving every 2-3 hours), and BCAA's are helpful before, during and after your work-out.

Thank you. I normally shoot for 30 or more grams in every meal while cutting.

Another possible aid in preserving muscle and burning fat while on a cut is CLA. I actually used it about a year ago and didn't "notice" anything, but there were way too many others factors changing in my training, nutrition, and life for me to make a definitive judgement on it. I decided it was too expensive for my meager budget at the time.

There have been a decent number of studies on the efficacy of CLA, but most of them have been done on animals. I think a clinical study came out relatively recently that was in support of it, but I don't have that reference offhand.

You can read a little more about it here (one of my favorite supplement websites)

I'd be curious to know what opinion the rest of you hold on CLA. I've been thinking about starting on it again.

I to have used CLA and I didnt see a thing. Of course I was not cutting at the time. I have heard it does help with preserving muscle however.
