Storage once mixed for Modern BCAA or any BCAA product

[fumoney]

I just bought a tub of Modern BCAA and I have a question.

Once you mix it with water, how long can you leave it out at room temperature without making it go bad or losing it's effects ?

I want to fill my water bottle with 4 scoops in the AM and just sip it throughout the work day. (about 8 hours)



Thank you in advance !

I imagine it would be fine throughout the day, but if your hyper concerned, just throw each single scoop into snack baggies and cut off a corner and pour it into a bottle when your ready to drink it.

Good idea.

It will have no problems being mixed and stored for quite a long period of time. Sipping it over the course of the day though is not something I recommend tho.

Thanks bolt. Should I drink 1/2 bottle twice in the work day or even 1/3 three times ?

Maybe I did this all wrong, but I am on fast in the AM per lean gains and modern BCAA seems to stave off hunger. Is it really not empty calories ? Sugar content ? Couldn't tell as there are no macro data on the tub. Thank you.

Bcaas are protein, so they have a calorie content 4 cals/g

Why not? Can't see a major positive, but I can't see a major negative either...

Unless you are trying to spike protein synthesis I wouldn't use them over a long period of time. If that is the case drink an even split of it (either 1/3,1/3,1/3 or 1/2,1/2) at certain intervals. Sipping it over a prolonged period of time seems pointless to me.

I should note even when fasting I totally skip the BCAA intake during the fast. If thats not your style then split it it up evenly as I said not just sipping it over an extended period.

Thank you all for you help. I am putting 20 grams into bottle and will drink 1/2 bottle every 2 1/2 hours.
