Amino Acids

hi let me ask you something if you pop these pills are they liek a meal?

you'll get very little protein out of it... I'm sure you got to pop a shit load of pills to equal a tiny chicken breast. It's not worth it. You could use them as an emergency if you can't find any source of protein around at all, but it's costly. What i do is carry a protein bar around w/ me or a sandwich w/ me at all times. A good protein bar would have about 20g of protein and some carbs. If each amino pill was 500mg of protein, you would have to take 40 pills to equal the amount of protein in that bar. See where i'm going w/ this, invest in something else. Aminos are a waste.

don't waste your money on regular aminos. if anything buy BCAA's, they are metabolized directly by the muscles and are far superior in there benefits to body builders.
