tried to quit HICA

[Kronic]

I ran out of HICA and wasn't sure if it was working so I came off it. I was doing 1500mg HICA-C every morning on lifting days, 500mg on off days.

I ended up being noticably more hungry in the morning. usually I wouldn't need to drink any milk until hours into lifting, but without HICA I felt like drinking milk almost right away.

might be my mind playing tricks on me, but I got 3 more bottles and am back on it today

What brand?

What brand?

House of Muscle, it has 100mg of vitamin c per 500mg of HICA though. some people don't like that, but I dont mind the extra C especially with Covid going around

Leucine? Amino acid?

Leucine? Amino acid?

my understanding is leucine metabolises into HMB and KIC, then the KIC is broken down into HICA. HMB is another popular anti catabolic but has mixed feedback

Seems expensive for just HICA.

So HICA for intra-workout milk cravings got it. Saving that one for later.

lol ya, for most people it would be a bcaa replacement I guess. but there's lots of bcaa with HICA in it too
