Default Aminoacid recommendation

Does any one know what brand of aminoacid is good? Money is no pbject. I would prefer to get something that works then wasting my money.

Thanks guys.

I agree..If money's no object. Buy grape vs. the watermelon. The extra cost of Xtend is certainly worth it for the taste. Worth every penny.

If you have the cashola to spend, I personally recommend buying some (more expensive) whey protein isolate and some regular cheap BCAA's to throw in with it to beef up the amino profile. That's what I prefer at least. Lots of different powdered BCAA's floating around..All tasting like shit, but are all the same thing.

Also keep in mind that you won't see the BCAA's "working". They stay behind the scenes subtly working their magic.

I'd really recommend the Amino Acid Shooter by Champion. There's a stim and a non-stim version and you can really feel a difference with both! It's great pre, during or post workout!

You won't be disappointed.

I think it's one of the best tasting supplements I've tried thus far..Both the grape and watermelon taste like a jolly rancher! If you think xtend is bad tasting, I'd hate to see you try any straight BCAA powder!

Well, taste is opinion. But I have heard there are way worse stuff too but I am just saying for someone like me who is not a heavy supp. user. it was bad.

I only use protein. I consider that light.

That's like saying that a jolly rancher has too strong of a taste because I only eat one every six months.

But, taste is opinion, absolutely. Sometimes I think the water from my faucet tastes bad, but I still drink it anyway.
