very low dose and not at all, dont lie to the man BCAAs are the basics in nutrition and muscle growth/recovery. google the term and you will learn a lot about them. BCAAs are in everything we eat. Some people take them year around to help with recovery, endurance, etc but i really find them useful during cutting cycles to help prevent muscle loss and stay in an anabolic state longer. you can buy them in bulk or premixed with a flavoring system like Xtend, Purple Wrath, or ICE.

i got my BCAA's from the vitamin shoppe, each serviing has 5grams,, whole bottle has 65 servings, and was 27.99. was the best deal in the entire store, (the brand was bodytech)
-
**** GNC!
Get them online in bulk powder form.

to be exact .... those you listed are called EAA's (essential amino acid) and a small but important part of BCAAs list.
i enjoy XF's ICE and Scivation's Xtend for my BCAA which i use during cutting cycles to help preserve muscle loss, anabolism, etc. i would always buy online, if your ordering 1 or more products then it is usually always cheaper and more convenient.

apparently you need to re-read what i wrote and this sentence from you "actually BCAA's main ingredients are those 3, and the only ingredients as far as i know" contradicts itself. if it is the 3 main ingredients and those are the only you know, then look at the rest of the list and you'll know more many decent BCAA products include more than just the 3 listed.
i said they are a small BUT IMPORTANT part, that is why they are listed as the main ingredients. these are the most important to bodybuilder, building muscle, etc. and are the "essential bodybuilder's amino acids"

This is correct. BCAA's are just those 3. Peachfuzz even listed a link to wiki that breaks its down for you. There are 6 other essential amino acids you get from food but these are the BRANCH-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS that have aliphatic side-chains that are non-linear (Straight from wiki, and yes I went through chem). I don't know of any product sold specifically as BCAA's that have anymore than just those three. The products that ralph listed earlier like purple wrath are not BCAA specific they contain the other 6 EAA's and other stuff as well.

i believe the term BCAA is widely associated with valine, leucine, and isoleucine in the body building world, but outside of that (rest of the world) the term branched chain of amino acids is a term referring to the unique branch-like chemical structure that the 3 amino acids form. this is not the only 3 amino acids that when bonded form a "branch chain" structure, but it by far the most common and overtime has generally been accepted as those 3. like peachfuzz, i was trying to be exact.
everything you read on Wikipedia may not be correct or the full story.

I see, very informative, thank you
-
08-26-2008, 05:57 PM #24
I see what you saying with the 9 essential amino acids because the body does not synthesize them so in fact supplementation of all of them is more benefical than just the 3. But I did not think that the other 6 formed a branch like chemical structure hence the name BCAA. Should it be called BCEAA then? Please direct me to more reading if I am wrong. Yes I've been reading wiki.....

lol no. think of it as more of a general term that how now been associated with those 3. also, there are boat loads of articles, research, and studies on various websites. i would stay away from wikipedia at all cost. that place does little to nothing to make sure its information is correct and has no validity.

last time i checked the molecular structures of amino acids did not change once they entered, "the bodybuilding world" whatever that is. Leucine isoleucine and valine each possess there own branched side chains, the three dont form "the branched chain structure" i have no idea where you are getting this information from. i asked you to elaborate and you spew nonsense. you told me how many amino acids there are and which of those are essential. nothing about branched chains in your explination.
the only thing i have to agree with is wiki is not a reliable source of information. however that article was more than adequate for purposes of explaining branched chain amino acids. and if it wasnt then maybe this will help.

as far as your "boat loads of articles, research, and studies on various websites" perhaps you could share even one of them that can enlighten me as to how isoleucine, leucine and valine are not the only BCAAs (only in the bodybuilding world)

well i will end all of this right now, when someone or a company talks about BRANCH chained amino acids as a supplement, they mean the THREE aminos already mentioned and just those 3. on my jug of protien, it advertises that has 5.5 grams of BCAA's in each serving, and on the back of the container, it lists exactly how much in MG of all 19 amino acids in each serving, and if u add up isoluecine, leucine, and valine, it comes out to 5.5 now if there was any other aminos that were considered to be BCAA, then it would say more than 5.5 per serving. and it even states on the label in the back which ones are BCAA.

BCAA's are a very important part of any supplement program.
