I undertand the advantages of EAAs IntraWO. I'm wondering if there might be some additional advantage to also adding some PeptoPro to an IntraWO EAA supplement (like Amino IV). Or would it be just as beneficial to add additional EAAs?
With a product like Amino IV there really shouldn't be a need for extra EAAs or any additional amino acid additions. Is there any particular reason you are wishing to add some?I undertand the advantages of EAAs IntraWO.

I was aware of Strive forgot about Intrabolic. However, my reservation is that just because a company is making a product in a given way does not mean that it is beneficial. I'm sure many of us question any given company's formulations from time to time. On the other hand, maybe there is an advantage and they have stepped on board with something other companies shy away from due to cost (Peptopro is expensive).There is an intra workout supplement (Omega Sports Strive) that has this. I believe that AEN Intrabolic uses Hydrolyzed whey as an ingredient which would be a similar concept.
To get a larger amount of amino acids (I know one could double up the does if Amino IV) and I believe there may be a benefit to a complete protein made up of predominately di/tri peptides intraWO.With a product like Amino IV there really shouldn't be a need for extra EAAs or any additional amino acid additions.

This is the conclusion I am trying to come to myself If in fact adding some PeptoPro to an EAA mixture would be of any benefit. Maybe its a moot point?if that's the case you could add peptopro of you wanted, but in the majority of cases I am just unsure if any discernible difference would be made.
When I run out of Amino IV, I'm just going to switch completely over to Plazma TBH. Less things to mix, getting in lots of protein, ample carbs, a chit ton of citrulline malate along with betaine. Costs about as much as one would expect it to cost per serving when you account for everything that's in a serving.I'll stick to Amino IV...thank you.
Hmmm..never heard of Plazma. Who is this made by?When I run out of Amino IV, I'm just going to switch completely over to Plazma TBH.

I love my Amino IV, but I think overall the Plazma is just more convenient and contains everything I would have been using anyway pre and intra.
I fear ever mentioning the company's name, before everybody starts slamming me for it. LoL.Hmmm..never heard of Plazma. Who is this made by?
I hear ya man. Thanks!I fear ever mentioning the company's name, before everybody starts slamming me for it. LoL.
But, for those interested, the contents of 1 serving of Plazma:
15 grams casein hydrolysate
38 grams of carbs (HBCD and isomaltulose)
Around 12 or so grams split between citrulline malate and betaine anhydrous
Around .7 grams of electrolytes/minerals
There's no fillers (the stuff has no flavouring, but they give you liquid flavouring that you would mix in yourself per serving).
I agree. I'm not sure how beneficial 5g is either.If you're going to use PeptoPro, you don't need to use EAAs. Pick one or another.
Also, products that contain like 5 grams of casein hydrolysate, I'm not quite sure how beneficial 5 grams is going to be TBH.
I think around 15 grams of PeptoPro alone should have sufficient leucine to optimally signal mTOR, so adding more leucine more or less becomes drastically diminishing returns (leucine's effect on mTOR is not linear, so below a certain threshold it's not a very potent stimulation for mTOR but above a certain threshold, it doesn't really increase the stimulation by much more).I agree. I'm not sure how beneficial 5g is either.
Logically to me, and my logic may be wrong , that maybe 15g PeptoPro with say 10g of Leucine rich EAAs might have some advantages over 25g PeptoPro alone or obviously 25g of EAAs alone. However, this is what I am trying to resolve. Its not a lot of additional cost, adding 10g of Leucine rich EAAs would add less than 50 cents to my IntraWO drink.
I also found a hydrolyzed whey that advertises greater than 50% di/tri peptides (it seems it is hard to get a manufacturer to disclose the amount of di/tri peptides) that is about 1/2 the cost of PeptoPro so I am considering I might give that a try and see how it might compare to PeptoPro in terms of recovery.
