Honestly - I didn't notice as much a difference as when I upped my calories.

I use them as an intra workout. I seems to me like I recover faster using them.

I take about 5 gram 10-15 min before and 5 grams intra. I am not sure if they help or not but I will continue to take them

What benefit are you getting from them?

I have some at home, but not sure of the point.

Scivation Xtend for me. Used to take 7g intra workout and 14g throughout the day.

Now I'm doing 10g preworkout, 10g 2 hours after and 10g 2 hours after that.

I have seen a huge difference in my recovery since I started using a protein powder with 5500mg of bcaa every day.

Here is an article about BCAAs http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bcaas-the-many-benefits-of-amino-acids.html
I knew it was supposed to help reduce muscle breakdown but I didn't know it competed with L-Tryptophan in the brain.
