During.

During, it's an intraworkout
Here's a link to it [url]http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/clabs/purple.html[/url]
Use the code fit10 so you get 10% off too.
A couple good BCAA drinks I've been using recently are CL Purple PsyKO and Universal Atomic 7.
See my reviews

Sorry, last question. Its ok to take this with Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein, right?
Really bad info ITT.
OP asks for a BCAA product and you guys direct him to Purple Wraath, which is a EAA product with other ingredients.
Best BCAA product is one that uses Ajipure BCAA's. They are like the Creapure of creatine.
I buy mine in bulk, then add my own flavoring. There was also a thread about 2 weeks ago that listed multiple brands that used Ajipure BCAA's.
You got it right too, best used when fasting.

Yes, that would be ok. PW intra is a great option for bcaa

EAA contains BCAA's.
BCAA= L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine.
I'm just answering your post, which was about BCAA's.
check out Core ABC. 10g BCAA's, great taste, amazing mixability, and adds 2.5g beta alanine, glutamine and citrulline malate for enhanced performance.

Intrabolic. Solid profile with BCAA's.

Ajipure doesnt matter to be honest. BCAA is BCAA. Whether it is Ajipure or another kind it will give you the same results. Ajipure simply mixes better (which isnt that much of an issue with regular BCAA anyway) and tastes slightly different (less acidic). Results are the same and regular BCAAs are cheaper.
Purple Wraath does contain BCAAs as well and would therefore be worthwhile (and the lemonade tastes awesome). Kind of depends on what the OP is looking for, whether it be a bulk BCAA product or an intra workout etc
Core ABC is the best BCAA supplement I have ever used.

Agreed, PW is a great intra workout and i'm not taking anything away from that.
I was only giving a response to the the OP's specific question.
9/10, I don't opt for bulk Ajipure, I usually get any bulk BCAA product.

Im looking to Bulk but just thought on the days I do cardio, I should take BCAA's to reduce any muscle loss.

As long as you arent doing excessive cardio the muscle loss shouldnt be too much of a problem on bulk as you get most of your BCAAs from food.
I wouldnt recommend fasted cardio at all. Especially on a bulk

the peach is outstanding and it is the best i have ever used. wouldn't rep it if I didn't believe in it. great for the OP's goal and he will really enjoy the taste/mixability along with the body comp benefits.

Thanks bro
Nimbus has some awsome BULK BCAA's and cheap as well
[QUOTE=andysidhu;671466081]

[/QUOTE]
Xtend Watermelon
dymatize recoup > xtend
So I've taken xtend and PW and I love them both. However, I want to try something knew. I recently stumbled upon allmax aminocore. It has a great BCAA profile, and is extremely cheap for 111 servings! and allmax is a very reputable company. But it has an extensive vitamin B profile, and I don't understand what those are for.
However, Core ABC looks like it has an even better BCAA profile, and doesn't contain extra vitamins. Should I go with Core over aminocore even tho core only has 50 servings? And what exactly are the vitamin B's in aminocore for?
Thanks
B vitamins are for energy
[QUOTE=powercage;671648111]B vitamins are for energy[/QUOTE]
ya that's what i was worried about, since I always workout at night because I work full time. I am a very bad sleeper, and suffer from bouts of insomnia, so I guess that rules out aminocore. That's one of the reasons I didn't want to order PW again, even tho I love it, because I heard it effects sleep (I took it before when I had time to W/O during the day) I don't want to lay around tossing and turning all night.
Core ABC it is then.

B vitamins most likely will not have you laying around for long sleepless, they will give you some energy for working out then you can sleep after. They arent stimulants

Actually that was a great deal;however AI Sports Nutrition has come out with the 42 servings for 19.99 coming soon and 125 servings for 39.99.
I can tell you by experience of tasting the red raspberry it is amazing. New lemon flavor coming soon on bodybuilding.com as well.
Hold offf on buying your bcaa's because its the best value $$ for $$ and the taste is great. They are coming soon to bodybuilding.com. (and I can not refer to other sites as I have to refer you to bodybuilding.com) =) cheers
