    The powder usually has more bcaa's per serving, unless of course you don't mind eating 12+ pills.

    You get more for your buck when you shop the powder; however, beaware that most BCAA powder smells and tastes like poison.

    MY BCAA powder is just fine.

    It's the NAC that is mind blowingly tangy
    and the arginine that feels like lead in my stomach

    When is the most optimal time to take BCAA's ? I workout in the evening and have cardio immediately after lifting. Also, are you guys talking about Xtend by Scivation?

    Before, during, and/or after training. There are bcaas in your whey if you are drinking that pre or post workout. There's bcaas in all the food you eat all day so it's not really necessary to drink them any other time.
