    Enough aminos?

    I asked this on the supp board but I figured you guys could help me too.

    If I'm taking creatine, glutamine, 3 protein shakes a day, multi v, vit c, glucosamine, flax, and dextrose every day do I really need to take BCAA pills?

    The reason I ask is because I'm trying to save money and my shakes have BCAA's in them. I am also taking glutamine. And the creatine I take has glutamine in it as well. So I think I'm getting enough aminos.

    Do I need the BCAA pills too?

    I'm also eating real food but my question still stands, do I need to take the BCAA caps daily?

    BTW, I have included steak daily in my diet.

    For my full diet you can check it here:

    Then if you have meats (complete amino acid pools) and whey protein with all the BCAA's (complete amino acid pools), I'd say supplementing with those would be a waste of cash.

    Only time I would waste money on these (I say waste because I'd have to take an assinine amount) would be the final week before a show.
