Honestly - I didn't notice as much a difference as when I upped my calories.0

I use them as an intra workout. I seems to me like I recover faster using them.0

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 them0

What benefit are you getting from them?
I have some at home, but not sure of the point.0 -
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.0 -
I have seen a huge difference in my recovery since I started using a protein powder with 5500mg of bcaa every day.0

I knew it was supposed to help reduce muscle breakdown but I didn't know it competed with L-Tryptophan in the brain.0 -
