Are BCAA stable in water for extended time?

I am wondering if BCAAs are stable in water for 5-8 hours? I know creatine and some other things break down shortly after being mixed into water. I want to fill a jug w/ bcaas to take to the jobsite with me to sip on during the day but want to make sure they dont become useless after a little while.

Thanks
 
They sure are. Also, creatine monohydrate does not break down in water to ANY appreciable degree unless we are talking days to weeks.
 
Bacteria forming would be a concern, especially if you leaving it out all day. I imagine it would be a nice environment for bacteria to form
 
Subbed... Curious about this as well. I sometimes let mine sit for 3-4 hrs while drinking on it.
 
yes it is i have no scientific knowledge that it doesnt but i have done it for weeks at a time and have seen them still work
 
I keep a gallon jug with recovery pro in it at work. Never had an issue.

With all the "junk" we put into our bodies and the heavy protein diets we eat, I would think this would be the least of your worries... LOL

I make a jug of xtend/modern bcaa and sip on it throughout the entire day. Youre good to go
 
Yeah even if they did break down into the water you'd still be drinking it... heat can denature proteins so I wouldn't keep your shaker where it could get hot.

Whats wrong with a high protein diet?

and why do you think this? Is it based on anything?



And what are these impacts on brain function?

I dont have any of the articles saved on the comp Im at but if you search around Im sure you can find some. Some studies show that long term high protein diets lead to heart conditions and decrease in liver and kidney functions. A lot of bodybuilders have also mentioned that their high protein diets (red meat) have lead to some illness' later on (even accounting for anabolics) I think there is a fine line between eating to be aesthetic and eating to be healthy. Both sides of the spectrum have their draw backs.

Again, these are just my opinion based on my research.

As far as carbs go, the last book I read and class I took did mention that lack of carbs can lead to memory loss as well as mood swings due the chemical imbalance from switching over to a state of ketosis. I didnt really believe any of this until I began my own low carb diet. Taking in 30g of carbs or less for an extended period of time caused my memory to decrease

articles are usually someones opinion or interoperation of something AKA not the most reliable form of evidence to base an opinion off of

I havent came across any study to suggest this. If they exist please share

so now red meat causes illness?

yup, there is a fine line but high protein intake alone isnt going to cause any negative health problems where as a high carb diet can

Memory decrease?

I suppose you are referring to this - Invalid Link Removed

Im sorry, I should have rephrased. I do not have the studies/articles on the computer I am on.

Happily, when I find them.

Words from bodybuilders, not mine...

If that is your opinion, I respect that. I also agree that having a high carb diet can be negative as well.

Memory decrease?

Again, for the most part these are just my opinion based off my own personal research.
When it comes down to it, we all make our own decisions as to how we eat/train. Obviously we are all different so each person will need diff requirements, therefor I dont feel I need a diet high in protein (When I say high I mean in excess of 350g) when I am only about 170lbs.
 
I personally would never reach 2g protein/lb BW as a natty BBer. As far as carbs and mental performance, they are obviously the fuel source for neurons but dietary carb intake is not the sole determinant of nervous system nutrition.

5-6 hours like OP stated would be very minimal growth in such a short time. That would be like leaving a gatorade or soda out then drinking it. Which I'm sure many of us have done.

In my opinion i feel its somewhat taxing on the liver and kidneys. Also, those that follow a high protein diet usually dont eat enough carbs or are low carbers which has other impacts on brain function.

One of the worst part of high protein and low carbs (thus usually low dietary fiber) is constipation. On a forum about anabolics I think there are other things people are putting in their bodies that is more taxing than protein on liver and kidneys.

Stick to journals or better yet here

That is probably the best place to do your research

I agree, I would say 350g protein gor a 170lb male is un-necessary but will it negatively affect your health? I doubt it

BTW you got me curious about this ketosis and memory loss connection so I did some searching.

The worst thing about all these things is the fact that one day there is a study showing XYZ and the next day ZYX. There always seems to be something that supports both sides of the argument.

The article you posted was in 2007, the information I got regarding carbohydrates is from Nutrition: concepts and controversies (college text 11/e) as well as my professor who has her phd is nutrition science. Im not stating that everything i say is the "absolute" truth, again but just what i have learned and my opinion.

Nope it isnt. BTW you see this thread I posted a couple days ago?

The speaker makes it seem that nutrient deficiencies are most likely the culprit for many of the degenerative diseases

The reason I posted in this thread was because of your post about the "dangers of high protein" and "low carbs lead to memory loss" comments which are both unsubstantiated and misleading.

I only questioned what you were basing these opinions off of. But you are right you are entitled to your opinion in the matter, I was just curious if you had any evidence to support said opinion.

I checked out that link in your other thread. I found the info very interesting, Thanks for sharing that.
