    How to determine 5g of bcaas?

    Hey everyone, sorry for my ignorance but how exactly would I determine 5g of bcaas, for example

    L-leucine 3500mg
    L-glutamine 2500mg
    L-Iso 1750mg
    L-val 1750mg

    How would I get 5 grams total bcaa from those numbers? Do I just count leucine?

    Thanks in advance

    The BCAA totals are the sum of the leucine, isoleucine, and valine numbers. So from what you are showing, you would be getting 7000mg, or 7g, of BCAA's from this formula

    Not a problem. If you would be interested as well, we here over at AI have a BCAA formula, RecoverPro, that is 4g leucine, 1g isol, 1g valine. If you want to, shoot me a PM, and I'll get some free samples sent out your way
