Too much BCAA?


Recommended Posts

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.

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!

Hey guys I just bought the Scivation XTEND big jar Watermelon Flavoured and I was really exited but then I watched this:

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?

Omg xtend is vegan? That is what my trainer wants me to drink!!

 

Yes it is!

Blue Raspberry is the best. Using it on a regular basis has really helped my recovery. And it tastes delicious.

 

Right now I am doing 3 scoops on a gallon jug and drink that while I lift and sip on any leftover throughout the day and if I get tired of plain water I will have another scoop with 32 ounces of water.
