so i realize BCAA's are acidic by nature, as is protein. but bcaa's mainly give me very bad breath and sometimes give me stomach aches after i take too much. a family friend ate a lot of lemons as a kid and now as an adult his teeth are all jacked up from the acid. im not sure how acidic aminos are, but i will be testing it this coming tuesday when i go back to my chem lab at school. my question is, how would i go about taking them without having to worry about a stomach ulcer or it eating the enamel off my teeth with long term use? i just tried baking soda added to some bulk and it literally turned it into salt water tasting stuff. im fine with drinking this if it saves my teeth. but im not sure if by adding that i turned the aminos into... a salt? as that is what happens when u mix an acid and a base, or if it changed the structure so it will be unable to absorb? duno, need some chem majors!
