that has nothing to do with us. thats between you and your boyfriendWhat if I like the taste of ass though?

Extend hands down, mixes easily and quickly, and it tastes great! No ass taste at all!
I would agree, but yet disagree, if that makes sense. If u want good AA, both leucine and BCAA are great. I like to mix my watermelon XTEND into my water bottle and drink it during my workout, and sometimes even sip on bottle water full of watermelon XTEND throughout the day.Leucine
some bulk bcaa added to AI's Excell :woohoo:
btw, i think Universal's Animal Nitro is not just a BCAA, it's an EAA product :head:
That's a protein powder, not a bcaa supplement.My work out maxmizer has 30 grams per every 100 grams. Love the taste bannana flavor.
I use it for its bcaa content so I don't see how you say its not a bcaa supplement. I am supplementing my body with the work out maxmizer which has 30 grams of bcaa's per 100 grams of aminos.That's a protein powder, not a bcaa supplement.
I have come across several positions in this forum maintaining that glutamine is "worthless" or "useless". I find this conclusion hard to justify.Glutamine is useless and I can get plenty of B-6 from my diet...
you sir, are very knowledgeable.I have come across several positions in this forum maintaining that glutamine is "worthless" or "useless". I find this conclusion hard to justify.
Recall the following:
Gluamine is neither an essential nor a non-essential amino acid. It is a conditionally essential amino acid. This means the body is unable to produce enough glutamine under certain circumstances such as periods of intense exercises, after surgery, infectious disease, and so on.
The body uses about 20 or so amino acids in protein synthesis. Of these, Glutamine is the most abundant, making up about 50% of blood amino acid concentration and 60% of total amino acids in the body. After BCAAs, Glutamine is the next most important amino acid for anabolism. As a nitrogen and carbon donor, glutamine is an important muscle-building amino acid. Glutamine possesses a unique structure: It contains two nitrogen side chains. This means that it is responsible for about a third of the nitrogen that penetrates the muscle cell. As an anti-catabolic amino acid, glutamine regulates protein synthesis in muscles by preserving muscle cells and boosting post-exercise muscle glycogen. Glutamine's capacity to maintain lean mass and enhance nitrogen retention is also particularly important during periods of low calorie intake.
Glutamine synthesis protects the body and brain from ammonia toxicity. Glutamine can cross the blood-brain barrier. At the brain level, Glutamine is a crucial substrate for the production of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, glutamate and glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Some glutamate is used in the synthesis of Niacin and Glutathione, some as energy, and some as neurotransmitter. Furthermore, the nervous system requires Glutamine as a source of energy. When the brain does not receive enough glucose, it increases glutamine metabolism for energy. This is why glutamine is sometimes referred to as "brain food". Also, glutamine helps prevent hypoglycemia, as it is converted to glucose when blood sugar is low. Glutamine also helps in regulating cellular fluid levels via its dependence on sodium transport.
Glutamine plays a vital role in supporting the immune system via boosting the white blood cells, and is important in maintaining the integrity of the gastro-intestinal lining.
In my opinion, therefore, the only problem with glutamine supplementation that could give the erroneous impression that glutamine is worthless, is the fact that only about 20% of regular L-Glutamine consumed ever reach the blood stream to elicit anti-cataboilic and anabolic effects. This means that 80% of ingested Glutamine is absorbed by the intestines and used for immune-system support. To get around this situation, very large amounts (> 20g) of Glutamine would need to be supplemented daily. Some have even suggested placing the glutamine directly under the tongue and allowing it to dissolve slowly. This way more Glutamine will be absorbed into the blood stream. Alternatively, advanced Gluamine forms and Glutamine precursors can be used. Examples include L-Glutamine-Alpha Ketoglutarate, N-Acetyl-L-Glutamine, N-Alanyl-L-Glutamine, L-Alanine, and Alpha Ketoglutarate. This way, a smaller quantity would be required.
These are well-known facts. They are not my invention, so I cannot take credit for them.you sir, are very knowledgeable.
I take this to be a joke. I have no personal interest in whether or not anyone consumes glutamine. I simply reacted to an apparently well-established tradition of misplaced "glutamine bashing"!Glutamine is NOT worthless! It makes great cap filler.
Of course it was a joke! Look who posted it.I take this to be a joke. I have no personal interest in whether or not anyone consumes glutamine. I simply reacted to an apparently well-established tradition of misplaced "glutamine bashing"!

I usually have BCAA by Supplement Direct. It's pretty cheap and works fine for me. I comes in plastic bags. And has a 2:1:1 ratio.
My Bcaas come in pastic too

:dl:purple wraath for me...
Yep, crystal lite works great, especially the raspberry flavor, completely masks the flavor if you use enough.I've heard some people use Crystal Light packets.
Bump to thisCore Nutritionals - Core ABC
Core ABC was specifically designed to build muscle, prevent catabolism (muscle loss), increase endurance, and enhance recovery when taken before and during an exercise program.
Each serving of Core-ABC contains:
A - 10 grams of branch-chain Amino Acids Leucine (5 grams), Isoleucine (2.5 grams), and Valine (2.5 grams) to enhance recovery and build muscle by helping promote protein synthesis. The amino acid Glutamine is also included to help maintain a positive nitrogen balance during intense training.
B - 2.5 grams of Beta-Alanine, which has been shown to increase skeletal muscle carnosine levels that delay the onset of fatigue and enhance endurance by reducing lactic acid buildup and increasing aerobic efficiency.
C - 2.5 grams of Citrulline Malate to reduce lactic acid and ammonia concentrations while increasing nitric oxide (NO) and ATP production.
Whether bulking up or slimming down, the most can be gotten out of workouts when performing at optimal efficiency, and the ingredients in Core ABC are ideal for maximizing exercise performance and aiding recovery.
Ok, quick question. Xtend states that it would require me to use 6 scoops per serving, due to body weight. I've ordered Bulk BCAA's from NP. Would I use one serving of BCAA to each 2 scoop serving of Xtend.
Example: My use total for the day =3 scoops Xtend and 3 servings of BCAA?
Just trying to make my Xtend last longer.
I hope that isnt too confusing!!!!
