Powerfull and BCAAs

Is it necessary to separate the ingestion of Powerfull and pre-wo BCAAs(specifically Xtend)?

I remember reading that BCAAs can cause insulin release, albeit a limited amount....and I want to make sure I am reaping all of the benefits of taking Powerfull pre-wo.

I currently take 2 scoops Xtend 4:45 AM, eat at 5AM(no carbs other than spinach) then sip on 8 scoops during workout 5:30-6:30.

I would like to take Powerfull right at wake(4:40AM) if possible.

Are the couple of grams of carbs from spinach enough to kill off the GH release?

I took Powerfull last year in a similar situation and was in the habit of waking at 3:45AM for the 20 seconds it took to down 2 pills, then falling back asleep. This stuff makes me sleep like a rock, so getting out of bed an hour later was no easy task!

Any feedback or suggestions are appreciated!
 
I know that BCAAs can cause a very minute increase in Insulin, but I believe it is more of a sensitizing issue. Leucine, in particular, has been shown to sensitize the muscle to the presence of Insulin in clinical trials.

Either way, you're good to go buddy. They will not interfere.
