BCAA'S...

[ryanbrown0087]

Who here uses bcaa powder or pills?? what do you guys think of them?

 

[Tunen]

I use BCAA powder. I think it tastes like dog testicles.

 

[Beau]

I use capsules for the reason above

 

[MetalMX]

I use the powder, the pills are useless as they provide too low a dose. I always get better recovery and my gains come quicker when i use BCAA's before, during and after training. Something like 5g before, 5g during and 5g after in your post-workout drink. Buy a generic bulk BCAA's powder as it's value for money. If money is of no concern try either Activation Xtend or Purple Wrath both are great products.

 

[Beau]

Its not hard to pop 3 caps

 

[MetalMX]

IMO the caps suck, way too expensive.

For example: Axis Labs BCAA's = $85 (These are decently dosed mind you, some others can contain 100mg of BCAA's per capsule LOL)

Supplement Facts:

Serving Size: 4 Capsules
Servings Per Container: 45

Amount Per Serving:

BCAAE2™ Matrix: 3,200mg
-L-Leucine Ethyl Ester HCI: 1,600mg
-L-Isoleucine Ethyl Ester HCI: 800mg
-L-Valine Ethyl Ester HCI: 800mg


Bulk BCAA's 1kg Powder at Nutraplanet.com = $20
Bulk Leucine 1kg Powder at Nutraplanet.com = $27


You do the math...

Though i have to admit the powders taste like ass! but i just take a spoonful and stick in my mouth and down with water then it ain't that bad.

 

[Beau]

shit dude where do you buy your supplements? I pay 20 bucks for 400 caps. Eitherway powder form is always cheaper obviously. I just cant stand the taste. And it mixes like shit. Personal preference really...

 

[MetalMX]

I just buy protein from a pharmacy for cheap and bcaa's, flax oil, vitamin c maybe some ZMA's. I don't buy from GNC if thats what you though

That 85 bucks is the amount it costs at my local gym for that product they have a supplement department their.

20 bucks for 400 caps? what brand is that... and where do you buy it from?

 

[Beau]

ON and i buy it from Upper49th....Canadian wholesaler

 

[Flex]

I have over a thousand grams of BCAA powder and I think it's a great thing to have around, especially when you're dieting.

 

[FiveStarG]

purple wrath is great and i usually get it for 25 dollars so thats right down my alley....

 

[Daniel Andersson]

How many grams should I take?..right now I take 5-10grams before and after a workout

 

[Achilles]

I use BCAA powder. I think it tastes like dog testicles.
