What research on 2:1:1?
At 2:1:1, if you "MEGA dose" as most do to increase the leucine content, your valine and isoleucine content increases dramatically.
Our goal is supplying Leucine the star Amino without depleting the 2 other amino acids and contributing to glucose conversion while training.
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the studies showing BCAA's to be beneficial using the 2:1:1 ratio? Been a long time since I looked those up, but if I remember right. That's what people are talking about. No real studies that I remember for another ratio, but if you've got evidence of an 8:1:1 study maybe I missed it. I think you can find 10:1:1, and even 12:1:1 from some companies.
Leuicne is the cheapest of the three, or at least it was last I knew. Been a long ass time since I looked at any of that, price may have went up once everyone started throwing more leucine in the BCAA drinks?
The perfect ratio or the right ratio or whatever (similar to do you even need BCAA's) is one of those topics that seems to pop up on every board with high frequency. And no one ever agrees
