Too much BCAA?
They say you are suppose to take 5-8 grams before and after workout. So if I am running in the am, and lifting in the PM, that means I'll be taking in 20grams a day. Even though it tastes like crap I have no problem doing it...is this what I need to do to get the benefits of BCAA? Or is it too much for my body? 140lb female heavy training to put on mass. I know you might ask why I run in the morning it's because I need to keep body fat down and I suck at doing it with JUST diet especially this time of year. Thanks for your help.

Then get some better tasting ones. xtend tastes great though it's not just bcaas. I get the ones from true protein with double watermelon flavor... Not as good as xtend but still drinkable.

Re: Too much BCAA?
Scivation says xtend contains no animal products. The ajimoto ones are vegan... the other bcaas at true protein are made from duck feathers. I believe the flavorings are ok but you might want to verify the specific flavor you want with them.

Re: Too much BCAA?
Yeah it's actually getting easier. I think the glutamine is actually worse! It makes bubbles that go up my nose...

Re: Too much BCAA?
I buy the vegan BCAA powder from True Protein and I just pour 5 grams of the powder into my mouth and then drink some water to get it down. You get use to the taste. After my workout I just add it into my protein shake. My protein shake already tastes pretty awful so I don't notice a difference!

Re: Too much BCAA?
Hey guys I just bought the Scivation XTEND big jar Watermelon Flavoured and I was really exited but then I watched this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEdMuQKF4vE In the review they say it is just some expensive ass kool-aid with no other effects. What do you think? Did it work out for any of you?
