BCAAs are great for pretty much everything, but they taste like ass in bulk form. You will want to mix them with something, either a flavor system, or some crystal light, or whatever.

Check out either Nutraplanet.com or Bulknutrition.com for decently priced bulk bcaas.

right now I'm around 20g. This is what I do

Right upon waking

10g bcaa
2g citruline malate
1.6g beta alanine
1g piracetam

usually in some crystal light, I take the same thing around an hour before my workout also. And if I start to get hunger pangs before bed i'll throw another one back, but that doesnt happen often.

What do you think protein is made of? It's necessary to get all of the amino acids, hence the whey protein.

When people supplement with BCAAs, they're taking Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. These amino acids are particularly important to muscle growth... They are already in whey though. If you had to choose, then whey is MUCH more important than taking just those three BCAAs.

Whey is bcaa PLUS. Maybe if they marketed that way people would get it.

They might...I don't know. People come in to GNC all the time and just buy Leukic. Or Gakic. Or both at the same time. But they don't buy protein. If I had the money to buy that then I would just eat filet mignon twice a day...every day.
