Favorite BCAA powder?

Look into nimbus bodyguard sugar-free. One serving has a full 5g leucine (1g of other BCAAs), plus b-Alanine and the poseidon complex (b-vitamins, electrolytes, taurine, etc).If you want to boost the ratio even higher, SNS Leucine is extremely affordable and I add it to pretty much any BCAA product I may be using before fasted training.

Very few sites are carrying the Nimbus line (you know of one of them). I've heard they are revamping the line, or something. However, I wish they would keep the boards updated with information.
 
Used to be Xtend but now Modern BCAAs. The flavors tastes great. They are not aggressively flavored so the taste is too strong. No artificial coloring so I didn't have any stomach discomfort. It also didn't stain my bottle. Great ratio 8:1:1. And a form of glutamine that has more stability in water. Plus you get electrolytes. Fairly priced too.

How a about core nutritionals abc? Or muscle pharms amino 1? Any one try any of these?

I've dabbled in a bunch of different brands

Although taste isn't number 1 on modern. Atleastthebflavor I get but it's cheap and I can now tell Te difference after adding it bak in

Cheap and effective and you get a ton for the price. No need to really try anything else IMO
 
I've heard Modern BCAA by USPlabs is really good...I've personally never tried it
Xtend always a solid choice
I'm trying silk AA by TN right now, they have worked great so far but only 2 weeks in

iForce Compete! BCAA and EAA and so much more

Compete can't really be described as a BCAA and EAA powder with 2.5g of whey hydrolysate. Not that I dislike the profile.

Another vote for Modern BCAA. 8:1:1 ratio. Good flavours.
 
Another vote for NP bulk BCAA. I throw 20g in a half gallon of water (peach tea flavor of course) and sip pre intra and post.

What's everyone's opinion regarding EAAs v. BCAAs?

I like aminolast by gaspari, it isn't 4:1 ratio but its a solid product

As far as EAA vs BCAA, BCAA is what you want since BCAA have glucogenic properties allowing your body to use them as fuel sources like glucose

They are more useful while dieting but can be helpful in a bulk as well

Well, insulin release is different when comparing carbs and BCAAs. BCAAs only initiate the first phase of insulin release, and the resulting spike in insulin. However, there isn't the long-term insulin production since BCAAs don't actually affect blood glucose.

Thank you for clarifying, I knew there was a twist to it but I've always been foggy on the subject matter

Does it mix well? I have recover pro and the mixing is a nightmare. I always come away with powder on my mouth

modern bcaa def did not mix well at all lol.

xtend mixes like a beauty, so does aminocore. Both taste great. Dymatize recoup also was good.


anything instantized will be good, I usually use optimum instantized whey (unflavored). Best bang for your buck
 
I used Bulk Modern when I experimented with IF. I found mixing it and letting it sit for a few minutes was sufficient.
 
I've been a huge fan of cytosports monster amino, 8 to 1 ratio and has added citrulline, tastes great and not expensive

If you follow the label recommendations, it mixes fine. Don't with colder water and less than 10oz of liquid. Shake it for about 30seconds.

I was virtually not following any if these guidelines and it just stayed pure foam....

Hands down I agree.

I stand behind ENDURANCE BCAA.

Best I ve ever had. Taste is great, very fine and mixes great. I love it intra workout.
 
mr.cooper69 said:
In my experience, no. Your best bet it so pre-mix your BCAA supplement the night before and store it in the fridge.

That is exactly how I do it and it has never failed. Actually it's usually fully dissolved long before i wake to train in the morning.

$/g - I cannot see ever buying anything else but BULK Modern BCAA.

Serious. not being an ass, why?

I ve always learned BCAA over EAA due to Luecine.

Though eaa's have bcaa's in them i like having a little higher luecine count, i used purple wraath for years and enjoyed it

as mentioned - eaa have bcaa, and so much more. there is more to growth than bcaas only..
while i too enjoy leucine, it is easy to add bulk in if i need to..in the meantime, i have a more efficient and complete recovery/growth spectrum of aminos.

Snag I gotta do legs on wed think I could borrow those quads for an hour or two? Lol
 
Endurance by Formutech has a great profile with COP, BCAAs, and Beta Alanine, but unfortunately, it doesn't have the 4:1:1 or 8:1:1 ratio you're looking for. However, you could add bulk leucine powder to the mix to increase the ratio of leucine.

Will look into this!
 
Power Shock. If you want a straight up quality BCAA product that mixes well and tastes really refreshing, Modern BCAA is great. Both are extremely cost effective.
 
If your looking for a leucine loaded bcaa product, inner armours has over 6g of leucine per scoop. Tastes pretty good too
