im about to start BCAAs during my cut. I'm getting some from the EAS RTD Precision Protein that i usually drink 2-3 bottles of daily, but i'm also going to be taking the APEX BCAA RECOVERY tablets before workouts.
Is there a damaging effect when taking to much? may be a dumb question but id rather be safe. thanks

You shouldn't get anything negative. I believe if you "overdose" on BCAA's, the leftover from what your body doesn't need is just wasted. If you are just taking a protein with some BCAA's (most proteins don't have near enough) and a BCAA supp.. you should be fine. I take ON 100% Whey Gold Standard and Animal Nitro, and I love it and have gotten nothing negative at all.

BCAA = awesome. Megadosing would be the way too go for best effects.

There could be a possibility of getting headaches. However, that can be alleviated by upping your water intake.
Otherwise, your fine.Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails.

This question proves that there's no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people.

I would try and get a powdered BCAA product like MRM BCAA+ G, ICE or Bulk. Although there are nothing wrong with tabs the about you would need to get the same about of BCAA's it's just not cost effective. Also you really cannot pop caps during your workout. If you do get a powdered BCAA product I would dose it at .17g per pound of bodyweight. I would sip that pre\during\post workout. If you like you can also stack EAA's with this.
In terms of overdosing BCAA's, I have used 40g pre\during\post workout and 40 more grams spread thoughout the day with no problems. Just up your h2o intake.
