    BCAA's and Protein Absorbtion

    A very reputable sups store told me that taking bcaa's with protein is counter productive.

    Does anyone have any information on this?

    BCAA's are basically a fancy word for predigested proteins. They are smaller peptide chains that are easier for your body to absorb. I dont think it counter productive most protein powders have BCAA's in them already. They are added to protein powders to increase there bio-availbility of the supplement.
