    BCAAs: induce muscle gains even in absence of training...?

    http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/inmag5.htm

    just read this article, all 4 parts, this guy makes bcaas and glutamine sound like mild gear. claims that bcaa intake increases these hormones: test, gh, and insulin . i never really knew that much about bcaas. i dont expect effects to be drug-like but i think i will increase my intake. thought this was a good article

    BCAA's are definately a good item to supplement with. Glutamine as well, especially when on a restrictive (cutting or competition) diet.

    I look for the cheapest brand which has all 9 Essential Amino Acids:

    Histidine
    Isoleucine
    Leucine
    Lysine
    Methionine
    Phenyl al in ine (also leads to the synthesizing of the non-essential Amino Acid Tyrosine)
    Threonine (also leads to the synthesizing of the non-essential Amino Acid Glycine when branched with Serine/glucose)
    Tryptophan
    Va li ne (I had to break this one up as it was being filtered with asterisks for some reason) (same with phenyl al in ine)

    My favorite so far is Precision Engineered Liquid Aminos. You can find them only at Vitamin World.
