BCAA -- which brand?

Read a ton of info regarding the benefits if BCAA but I'm not certain which brand to buy.

Can you please recommend a good brand and at a reasonabe price? Thanks.
 
I prefer N'Gage for taste and the fact that its Ajipure.
 
bcaa's are beneficial at any time, especially on a cut. I usually have some pre, intra, and post-workout, whether I'm bulking or cutting. I use dymatize recoup, love the 2:1:1 ratio and the added b-vitamins. Other products with other ratios like 4:1:1 or 8:1:1 are fine as long as you're getting adequate protein in your diet
 
Not necessarily, if you email Anjimoto they can provide you with tests performed on many other BCAA manufacturers products including their own, and purity is far beyond any others currently on the market.

So the issue with other BCAA products is that they don't meet label claims since their sources are impure?

I know bulk grape had some grapeskin included, making it not mix clear - but still the same 8:1:1 formula with sustamine.
 
I like RecoverPro and Bulk Modern BCAA for their ratios and taste...Its just a matter of having them around , not really one better than the other , but I do love RecoverPro's taste...and how cheap the Bulk Modern are haha...25 bucks a Kilo in NP? Thats a good deal haha
 
Look into Purple Wraath. BCAA/EAA and an endurance complex with beta alanine and citrulline malate


You can pick up some free samples from the link in my sig :)

i never leave home without it
 
I like the new Xtend better than all of the others but RecoverPro is quite tasty. Modern BCAA tasted bad in all favors to me.

Well obviously if they aren't Ajipure they aren't legit. Apparently my USP's Modern BCAA's are bunk and so is AI's RecoverPro, i guess i probably shouldn't just throw them away.
 
I have tried several and by far the best IMO is Purple WRAATH. Just awesome. It can get pricey, so I also have on hand BCAA powder from Vitacost that has Glutamine and Vit. C. But nothing I have ever tried can compare to The Wraath. (It just always works for me)

Recoverpro is pretty boss, just remember theyre worthless if you take them with food.
 
I like the grape scivation xtend, dymatize recoup, and size on was pretty good too
 
Thanks for the reply guys. I ordered Bulk Modern (Nutra) since it seems to have great reviews and the price can't be beat. Cant wait to start.

Their studies show they are up to 6x more pure. Then they claim 100% pure. So in theory 6x of 0% impurity is? ;)

Honestly the only reason to go with ajinomoto is if you want the source material. There is no other appreciable difference (even mixing and taste is varied among products)
 
I got my Modern BCAA today and it does not show the dosage. How much should I be consuming for post and after workout?
 
1MR has come out with BLOX amino acids. There a new formulated silk amino acids. They're awesome!

they aren't branched chain amino acids (bcaa)

I meant to say Bpi not 1MR but they are very similar to modern BCAA but are known to have better results and recovery. I personally like BLOX but honestly whatever works for the user

can you explain this further?

I don't see how they would be similar. I'm not doubting you I just haven't looked into saa's since bpi is the first (that I have seen) to really push them

Without getting detailed in the science behind each, not enough research has been done on the SAA to show a great difference, but IMO after taking the two, i felt a better Pump and "fuller" during my workouts with the SAA. Like i said, its all in the users opinion

how about the detailed science?

or a link to it.
 
well since i joined this forum recently it won't let me upload links. but search "Could this be the end to BCAA's?" on google and its the first article on google under PB forums. The first guys shares a link to a study.
 
Any reputable brand will be fine. I prefer the higher leucine content though. *** or Vitamin shoppe always has bcaa's on sale. but can't beat bulk bcaa's thats for sure.

I agree with 808.. buying bulk BCAA's is a good route, especially the price difference. BPi BLOX is a little costly around $30 and BCAA are roughly about $20, which include more serving. I always say if something is working for you, stick with it but SAA are something maybe to try down the road :wiggle:

no i am not. as a matter of fact I'm not a user of Bpi products except for BLOX. i think the 1MR PWO sucks. but yes its from personal experience. like i said, if you have a couple dollars laying around, give it a try

Or maybe they are insinuating other products are only 1/6th as pure as their 100% pure product, meaning 16.6% purity :O

lol
 
Bulk modern bcaas are such a killer deal as mentioned it's hard to go for any other source. 1 kilo for 29.99. Problem is it tastes pretty bad and has such a strong tinge of medicine in their peach flavor. Definitely going to try grape next time. Mixes incredibly well, too! 20 seconds, boom! 12g fully dissolved in 22oz.

The Wraath is da bomb
 
Body Mortar is the shi###$.. everything I need and little more!!
 
I really like xtend and Modern bcaa from personal experience. I like xtend a little better because the flavors I've tried so far (watermelon and green apple) taste like jolly ranchers which is refreshing intra-workout imo. Also I would like to give purple wraath a try because minus not having glutamine, the profile looks legit!
 
Modern BCAA for sure; great profile and I like that it has the sustamine in it, rather than glutamine, which is rather unstable
