[Roobske]

Which aminos are you guys using. I've been using aminos from Evl. Looking for other possible options.

I love Evl's aminos. I'm using lean energy. It is one of the better aminos from what I've researched.

Why are y ou looking for a different one?

Scivation Xtend has been in my rotation when I'm not wanting the caffeine from HyperAmino which I use quite a bit.

Xtend is probably the most popular one that comes to my mind. I've used alpha amino and juiced by animal and those are pretty good as well.

EAA over BCAA any day of the week, and twice on Sunday... IF, you can't possibly consume some form of protein ~60 min pre-training.

Probably all you ever need to know:

See this part, of this:

Thus, as we speculated (Churchward-Venne et al., 2014), consumption of crystalline BCAA resulted in competitive antagonism for uptake from the gut and into the muscle and was actually not as effective as leucine alone in stimulating MPS. Despite the popularity of BCAA supplements we find shockingly little evidence for their efficacy in promoting MPS or lean mass gains and would advise the use of intact proteins as opposed to a purified combination of BCAA that appear to antagonize each other in terms of transport both into circulation and likely in to the muscle (Churchward-Venne et al., 2014).

Great info. I have some more reading to do

EAA are extremely overlooked. Aminotaur from AD is a BCAA/EAA mix giving 7g BCAA 5g EAA and 1.5g L-carnitine per scoop

Thanks for the suggestion. This would decrease the need for the carnitine I already take in pills.

A great multipurpose product. I start my day with 1 scoop whether I do "fasted" cardio or not and use it as my pre and intra training nutrition. Cola is my go to flavor.
