Yes I read the research. It concludes "We conclude that dietary BCAA supplements alone do not promote muscle anabolism." I'm not stating that. Just saying they make my water taste better so I drink more and it seems to help me get through my workouts, It works for me and is fairly inexpensive so I will continue. I wasn't…

I am lean, 101 pounds at 5' tall small frame and I am active. I work out 4 to 5 times a week lifting and twice a week cardio for 30 minutes.

Thank you for that. I bought a container from Vitamin Shoppe for $20.00 and it's 45 servings. One serving is 10g and I use one serving a day mixed in 24 ounces of water.

I also had problems when starting my low carb diet. I was getting 30 grams of fiber before mostly from whole grains. After starting my low carb diet I was barely getting 20 grams per day. Veggies just do not have that much fiber per serving. I had to add back in some whole grains and drink more water. I also started taking…
