BCAA Ratio

I bought the pills, that was sure a mistake. Im definatly going powder next go around

If you have pilles, take them inbetween meals to have trickle of aminos in the bloodstream. Some IFBB's do this.

I take powdered BCAA's in the AM and PWO.

why would you need them between meals?

especially if your eating protein rich meals every 2-3 hrs?

I guess to keep higher levels of BCAA's in the body. There was a radio interview I listened too last year about it. It spoke about BCAA's inbetween meals and also Leucine's effects on insulin. I'll try and find it...

I'm sure it was done by Layne Norton...

There is absolutely no need imo. BCAA's are flooded in high quality protein sources especially leucine in meat.

My university text book on human growth and nutrition also states that taking specific amino acids can decrease the absorption of other amino acids.

I do believe BCAA's are completely useless if your consuming high amounts of good quality sources of protein.

I do however believe in taking BCAA's during workouts, which dont require absorption and are directly taken by the muscle tissue. Milos sarcev and Charles poliquin are all huge fans of this as well.
