bcaas from true protein?

[qbkilla]

I have finally decided to give up the vitamin shoppe and buy online due to cheaper prices!

Im wondering about the bcaas by true protien, is there a certain brand that is better and more cost effective?

[Heckman]

I use the instantized...unflavored.

Instantized is better as it mixes better. The regular is more cost effective but does not mix as well. If you don't think you can stand a bit of grit go with the instatized. If you can deal with the grit and are on a budget go with the regular.

I like all the TP BCAA variations :-)

Same as Heckman for me...just ordered (another) 10lbs of it. I add it with crystal lite for flavoring, so no issue there.

I just get the reg BCAA (unflavored) and also mix it with sugar free coollaid.

how much does everyone take? Do you mix up a gallon jug and drink it through the day or just throw a scoop or two in your pre or post or intra workout drinks??

I noticed better recovery (less DOMS) with ~20g 4:1:1 BCAA sipped during workout. I would mix with about 2 cups water. From my understanding higher leucine ratio would be better but 4:1:1 is all I have experience with.

No! The TP brand:first:

I was talking about True Proteins BCAAs. Instatized is special and non-intatized would be what I am calling regular.

I am a huge fan of the BCAA Plus in grape. Mixes well and has good "stuff" in it.

I am sipping some BCAA Plus right now! Limeade flavor. I toss it in a shaker with some ice and find it quite refreshing. On my next order I am going to get some of the regular BCAAs and give them a go 'round too.

Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not sure why, but they no longer sell the INSTANTIZED version of their BCAA's (at least they don't show up when I pull up trueprotein). I wasn't paying attention this last month when I ordered so I didn't realize I was buying regular BCAAs. They taste like a dirty, frothy vagina, take forever to mix up, and there are always little BCAA rocks in the bottom I have to swallow. I'm not saying that specifically TP BCAAs are bad or anything. I just wouldn't buy non-instantized BCAAs from anyone in general.

Edit: I should add that I had been buying the instantized BCAAs for several months from TP. They tasted fine and were very easy to mix in.
