BCAA's

[heat2]

....to be taken Pre & post workout?

the bottles says to take 6 capsules daily, EITHER in the morning, evening, or in between meals...?

when would it be most benefical?

PWO. If you're taking insulin, take even more.

I take BCAA's also for the main reason most people take glutamine. From what I understand, cortisol will rapidly convert the BCAA's (which are rapidly absorbed) into sugar. Ironically, free-form glutamine supps do not actually do this.

And don't do the glutamine thing (You can read that to in this thread)

Only while cutting cortisol may convert BCAAs.

Here is the deal bro….. BCAA are really not necessary as long as your diet is spot on. The same argument can be made for a multi vitamin. Think of both of them as an insurance policy… Nutritional insurance. I keep some BCAA around for times when I may have to go a little longer between meals.. That sort of stuff.
