Higher ratio of leucine is preferable. I like an 8:1:1 ratio. You could always run leucine instead of a bcaa mix also. However, There is some research out there suggesting there's a need to have all three in a balanced ratio

How is 8:1:1 a balanced ratio ?[/QUOTE
Meaning there's a set ratio(whether it be 2:1:1 or 8:1:1) instead of running leucine solo - 08-02-2012, 10:04 PM
A couple years old but pretty good info about ratios.

You're going to get varying opinions on this. I've used leucine solo, eaa's, and every ratio of bcaa's at some point in time. Haven't had one that's jumped out at me that's much better than any other(unless we're talking taste). I think recovery is definitely better using any of them over not using them at all.

There is only a study backing 1 ratio, does that mean it is superior? By no means, it just means the others have not been studied.

Not sure how much it matters besides getting 0.045g-0.06g per kg of body weight of Leucine to maximize muscle protein synthesis. A lot of studies on BCAAs seem pretty dodgy to me unfortunately and personal experience seems to determine what people suggest.

2:1:1 > every other marketed ratio

If getting a ratio, go with 2:1:1. Otherwise just buy leucine. Anything > 4:1:1 is just wasted $$ on flavored leucine.
