Amino Acids

[shooter]

Does anyone still take the plain old amino acids anymore? I remember back when I first started working out, they were pretty much the only supplement anyone ever took.....ahh the good ol' days.

I get them in my protein shakes

Regular amino acid tabs are pretty much obsolete, however, individual aminos, like glutamine or arginine, or specific combos, like the BCAA's, are still used quite often. Certain aminos on their own and at high enough dosages have relatively powerful effects within the body. Glutamine is one of the best supps you can take, and it is used in gram dosages.

Buy some quality protein and you should get a medly of that stuff

I used to take liquid amino's but it got to the point that I just couldn't stand the taste anymore.

They were a pretty big "fad" in the 80's. I used to take them.

As long as your protein intake is adequate you do not need them.
