Just get free form BCAA powder doesnt matter who makes it 4:1:1 is best ratio IMO
Junior Member
you mean even a cheaper brand like six star is sufficient?
Member
a BCAA is a BCAA no matter what marketing companies try to tell you

NutraBio Pure BCAA, it is a 5 pound tub for 80.00 USD- great value, good quality, mixes better then most.
Man up bitches....taste is not to bad

Dosage?
I´ve seen .44g/kg lean bodyweight = 40g BCAA for a 100kg/220lbs Dude.
(220 lbs (total weight) - 20 lbs (body fat in lbs)= 200 lbs / 2.2= 90.91 kg (weight in kg) X .44g = 40 grams BCAA per day.)
Is this about what u guys run?

I agree...I get the leucine 4:1:1 BCAA's in the orange cream sickle flavor. It's awesome and cheap!
Senior Member
I've been using BCAA Blast. It taste is good, good amount of BCAA's, and cheap.
Senior Member
As mentioned before, you should be taking in a lot more than 1 scoop of these products, a 200 pound guy should be taking in about 40g of BCAA's throughout the day.

I'm doing
5g on waking
5g mid morning
5 pre wo
10G pwo
5g before bed
I am cutting and running on very low carbs ATM...also will be adding Glycerol with the BCAA pre wo and pwo for better hydration. I think it depends on your daily cals and macros.

where did you get that number from? Poliquin ? Overkill IMO....

I'm a fan of xtend, drink it during my early morning and pwo cardio to prevent catabolism.
Senior Member
get the cheapest you find. I found that ON makes the cheapest version. All you do is take a teaspoon directly into your mouth, then drink it down. If you mix any bcaa in water and then drink it, it will be a complete mess
Senior Member
40g during training? are you on crack?
Senior Member
Sorry I didn't mean you need ALL of your BCAA in consumption during training, but def a good amount for it's muscle sparing qualitites. Also I didn't see someone had already posted the proper dosage.I'm not saying anything new!
Member
Trueprotein 4:1:1 is cheap like 15.79 a pound thats a little over 450 grams
Knowledgeable Member
The only drawback to ON's BCAA's is they literally tast like ASS!!!
Productive Member
If you actually are on Crack as AlphaMaleDawg suggests, how do you incorporate that into your diet/workout routine?Sorry I didn't mean you need ALL of your BCAA in consumption during training, but def a good amount for it's muscle sparing qualitites. Also I didn't see someone had already posted the proper dosage.
Senior Member
just take a teaspoon directly into your mouth then drink the water. If you try to mix pretty much any bcaa in water, it will be a complete mess. ON's is 5g per teaspoon, which is really easy to put into your mouth
Senior Member
Pre-workout, intra-workout, post-workout, and with every meal, and in between every meal

trueprotein has bcaa plus, price and taste its the best!
New Member
Damn! I am not taking anywhere near the right dosage. I've been doing 5g before and after work out. Another example of how much I have to learn. Thanks
Senior Member
That's not soooooo bad as long as you're eating, BCAA's are found in foods with a lot of protein. It's just good to get that rush of bcaas around your workout as to try and spare what muscle you can.

Guy at the supp. store today was raving about "Purple Wraath"
U guys tried it?
Member
Wrath is pretty good but it tastes worse then butthole, not to mention expensive
"Who wants to be Clark Kent, when you can be Superman."
I just buy the BCAA that are sold in Wal=Mart. $10 a bottle.

47 bucks for instantized branc chain aimo acids is the best deal I can think of. Primordial Performance has some other good bulk powders for sale too.
Productive Member
hmmm...never tasted either. I guess I´ll pass. (On both).....
Member
Laugh at people who spend more money on supps then gear...
Bulk website , buy powders in bulk.. Google I don't know sites for America.
Junior Member
+1 on the ON stuff. Cheap
Associate Member
xend is the best. dont get the grape it sucks. imo the orange and the blue razz are awesome. go to prosource they have it cheap
Member
Thats a terrible price for instatized BCAA. How much BCAA are you getting at that price?
Banned
1000 grams. The mixability and when mixing with crystal light makes it one of my faves.
Disappointment* Known SCAMMER - Do Not Trust *
