What are the BCAA's?? Useful aside form Whey derived?

[Cortic]

Well ive been told for some superior gains i should be taking a BCAA supplement as well as my whey. Sure, whey contains BCAA's but not i nthe concentration it should.

So if buying a pure BCAA supplement, what should i be looking for?

I would also consider EAA's (Includes BCAA's):

Pu,

I know you have involvement with controlled labs but after read all the info above im keen on getting some bcaa's.

In your opinion is purple wraaths eaa more worthy of my money than a bcaa supp like Xtend or ICE? Their all the same price so why would anyone purcahse ICE or Xtend when purple wraath does what the other products do plus more?

The reason that some are taking both Xtend AND Purple WRAATH is to megadose. The OPTIMAL time to take free-form BCAA / EAA is pre / during workout... BUT that doesn't mean that there aren't benefits of mixing some in your water bottle and sipping on it throughout the day... and in that scenario some may want different flavors or no beta-alanine = Xtend.

For pre / during workout the choice is clear... and it's Purple

Personally I feel xtend+WPI is better pre/during/post workout

[ceilos456]

try taking the XTEND version of BCAA's flavor watermelon tastes great!

Is this a carb free product? Personally I like my pre workout EAA's with carbs as the research shows this to be superior. You could add carbs to it or even use the original EAA+carb product, namely Xtreme Formulations Vendetta

For pre / during workout the choice is clear... and it's Purple

Yep.. It's carb free to give the consumer the choice of carb source / amount / timing
