i bought some amino acid pills today, had a choice from 500mg,1000mg and 1500mg. i got the 1500mg. it says to take 2-3 pills directly after a workout or after a meal.

questions-
can you take them after a protein shake
is there a limit of how much to take in one day
how much do you take

AAs are in your protein. AAs are actually what makes up protein; it's the fundamental "building block" of protein where proteins are about 100+ AAs long. Anyway, I used to take AAs about three years ago and didn't notice anything. I used to take the 1111mg before and after workout and with lower protein meals. But now, I just take the Animal Nitro which is comprised of the AA profile found in human muscles. I haven't been taking them very long so we'll see. Anyway, each person is different and it all seems to be trial and error in this game.

I take animal nitro and it seams to give me more power and energy. but i cant sleep for a few hours after taking it. I do belive it is a benafit to take.
