Wow people are starting to realize that Leucine is >>>> that the standard BCAA blend.
BTW nutra has the purest leucine I've ever seen.:head:
Not saying you are right or wrong, just wondering why you say that? is it because of price?

Some research suggests that BCAA supplementation may help to maintain a normal free-tryptophan:BCAA ratio during prolonged exercise. Although there appears to be a logical theoretical basis to support BCAA as an ergogenic aid for endurance exercise, the available scientific data are limited and equivocal. Additional research is warranted with both acute and chronic BCAA supplementation before BCAA supplement recommendations can be established.
Furthermore, the large amounts of BCAA required to make physiologically relevant changes in the plasma free-tryptophan:BCAA ratio can increase plasma ammonia, which may be toxic to the brain and impair muscle metabolism. Consuming large doses of BCAA during exercise can also slow water absorption from the gut and cause gastrointestinal disturbances. Since BCAA supplements may be not be safe or effective, and since it is easy to obtain sufficient quantities from food, BCAA supplements aren't recommended at the present time.
Carbohydrate feedings, on the other hand, are associated with dramatic reductions in the plasma free-tryptophan:BCAA ratio. Carbohydrate feedings lower plasma free-tryptophan by suppressing the rise in free fatty acids which compete with tryptophan for binding sites on albumin (1).

Do you guys think adding Leucine to a post cardio Whey shake would be a good idea??
Absolutely.
An ideal PWO shake would consist of:
Kwick Karb
Leucine
Taurine
Creatine

How many grams of each do you recommend?
I will email you...I have amended the formula somewhat, and had some pretty impressive results.
We need to talk anyway.
Please do as I look forward to what you have to say.
You always do...and remember, my rate is $2.99 for the first minute and $1.99 every minute after.
Even after I designed that nice t-shirt for you??
And sent me the sample with those mystery stains?

When shall I expect the email?
Is a week from Friday good for you?
Let me finish typing it tonight. The other 15 unfinished emails can wait.
