anybody tried this
Understand the situation - some of us don't have time to focus on our body 18hrs a day and unfortunately must do mundane tasks to earn a living !!I work 12 hour shifts so the extra bcaa as a drink would work wonders. If its in 25 dollars range I'll buy it today.
That's exactly how I feel about it. 4:1:1 is good and no need for a higher ratio IMOI, personally, wouldn't go over an 8:1:1 ratio, unless there's more research to show this being beneficial.
For the longest time, 2:1:1 was the go to.
Then came 4:1:1.
And now 8:1:1 was brought up.
Now this?
I still use 4:1:1 and am happy with that. The bigger this ratio gets, the closer it comes to supplementing straight leucine, which if my memory serves me correctly, isn't what you want in the BCAA product, because the other 2 need to be there for the leucine to have its effect, as well.
thats why i take PP iBCAASeems pretty dumb since leucine needs both valine and isoleucine to work. It would be taking them from your body/food. I prefer 2-1-1
I figured, thanks for the feedbackive taken Body Mortar by AMS which is 4:1:1, ive taken Modern BCAAs by USP Labs which i think is 8:1:1, and now i have iBCAAs by PP which is 2:1:1. no noticeable difference.
I'm a nurse, working 12 hour shifts. I always sip on xtend throughout.. smart idea imo.I work 12 hour shifts so the extra bcaa as a drink would work wonders. If its in 25 dollars range I'll buy it today.
I agree that sipping on a BCAA product throughout the day can be beneficial. I'd just rather see it as a 2:1:1 or 4:1:1 ratio (like what you're doing, Mike).I'm a nurse, working 12 hour shifts. I always sip on xtend throughout.. smart idea imo.

I'm the same way. I notice no difference between them.ive taken Body Mortar by AMS which is 4:1:1, ive taken Modern BCAAs by USP Labs which i think is 8:1:1, and now i have iBCAAs by PP which is 2:1:1. no noticeable difference.
If you get some I will be curious what you think about it.Yea but its not that expensive 25 buzz for 40 servings I believe so I figure why not try it.
lol that is such a good analogyWhy do I feel like this is going in the same direction as razor blades. Since when was my four blade razor not good enough? This is getting a bit out of hand. Although for 25$ it might be worth my minimal curiosity. If anyone picks this up please post your thoughts.
nice, im in RN school right nowI'm a nurse, working 12 hour shifts. I always sip on xtend throughout.. smart idea imo.

Nice analogy and point. I agree.Why do I feel like this is going in the same direction as razor blades. Since when was my four blade razor not good enough? This is getting a bit out of hand. Although for 25$ it might be worth my minimal curiosity. If anyone picks this up please post your thoughts.
just in time for fall/winter.....I Mega dose bcaa anyway so 12 1 1 is not bad especially if it tastes good. So far this company looks good and im betting I might like it. But thats untill....stay tuned.
Haha I like this guy. Team AppNut FTWjust in time for fall/winter.....
are your results better as a 2:1:1?Inb4 16:1:1.
Ehh, I'm waiting til 100:1:1. But I want mine in pill form, not powderInb4 16:1:1.
lolInb4 16:1:1.
It would take longer then one tub and I'm sure the results are a bit better. If its the same price as 8:1:1 why not drink it?are your results better as a 2:1:1?
I recall reading some possible problem with a higher ratio, but I don't remember exactly where and what tbh.It would take longer then one tub and I'm sure the results are a bit better. If its the same price as 8:1:1 why not drink it?
Very good postAnything outside of a 2:1:1 was originally created because Leucine was the cheapest of the three amino's. The other benefit was broscience would make people think more leucine = more results. There is a reason the research was done on 2:1:1 and not these other variations. Also a reason none of these companies claiming these products are better, have never done a study. Now these companies are in a big pickle. Leucine has doubled in the past 6 months. I have a feeling a lot of companies will be making adjustments.
Look at studies that took whey protein and added leucine, then compare that to their controls of using whey protein alone. The results might surprise you. The ratio needs to be 2:1:1, period.

Am waiting for this, but whether they announce any changes on their labels is going to be interesting to find out.Anything outside of a 2:1:1 was originally created because Leucine was the cheapest of the three amino's.

As a consumer, how would you know if it was ever changed? It's now cheaper to do a 2:1:1 vs these other variations. I have a bunch of products, some that are prop blends, will be fun testing them to compare/contrast the changes if any. With BA's ups and downs, wouldn't surprise me if there are changes there as well. The patent holders on BA are loading up for a fight. Leucine, anything arginine based and obviously protein prices are rising quarterly.Am waiting for this, but whether they announce any changes on their labels is going to be interesting to find out.
awesome just like with everything else....everything is becoming less affordable. No wonder why Americans are sick...no one can afford to buy quality food and supplements. or they just dont care most of its the latter.As a consumer, how would you know if it was ever changed?
