    Bcaa

    Why do you guys say drink BCAA? I thought amino acids where in pill form. If not can someone explain what you are talking about?

    Thanks

    O.N. makes it in powder form. Just add 1 heaping teaspoon with h2o and youre set.

    I take enough pills a day as it is so I chose the powder form and sip on them while training..

    NO keep it that way!!! We buy BCAAs seperate for a reason its ok that its in your protein but just dont add the seperated BCAAs in there thats just ludicrous!!!

    I did say dont take it with the protein its not gonna hurt you but if you spent extra money to seperate your BCAAs then its stupid to put them back in the protein. BCAAs work optimally ALONE but they will work alongside protein also. But if you wanna get the most out of youe BCAA supplements you will use them individually. Does that make sense?

    If im not mistaken using BCAAS with protein only increases the nitrogen of the protein which makes it much better ,thats why they are in the protein already,afterall amino acids are the building blocks of protein. But when used alone they Move quickly and silently like the special forces in the military!!!!

    Yes it does> Thank you!

    So i can still take them by themselves also...But still go ahead with the protein i already have for now!

    Yea that is fine. I have researched and found only that putting bcaa in protein only makes the protein better, and that to ensure you are getting enough it is ok to keep putting it in your protein. But if cost is an issue then you can drink it only separately if you want. It helps with protein but its does its job the best alone.

    Hey top

    Top.....I went to GNC and picked up the Monster Amino...I read that it has 30 gr of complex carbs i it ??? I think i made a mistake here...This wouldnt be good to take while doing cardio bcz of carbs would it? Do all amino supps have carbs in them? Lmk...Thanks.

    Sorry about all the diet 101 questions. You have been very helpful so far and I appreciate it!


    I also picked up some ***** oil...It is oils from flaxseed and olive oil and has all the *****s..3-6 -9. Is this ok?

    Oil sounds good but i would take that bcaa shit back immediately!!! For what its going to be used for it wont work!! When doing cardio we want glycogen to stay empty and fat to be used ,and with sipping on BCAAs WITH carbs in it defeats the whole purpose,i would get scivationS green apple xtend If the GNC doesnt have it you may need to order it but i promise you will not be disappointed!!http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/sv/xtend.html. .................By the way I HATE THE GNC!!!

    Yes I m beginning to see GNC is a joke also. I thought the same thing about the carbs when I actually read the package, As you said , defeats the whole purpose. I will be taking it back and I asked about your product and they did not have it!

    How much does your oil cost?
