How important is it to take amino acids?

[scout420]

ok while your on you cycle is it necessary to take some kind of amino acid? if so what kind do you reccomend and when is the best time to take them?

 

[muscleup]

well it sure will not hurt...Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.....So if I had to pick one I would go with L-glutamine

Just eat a ton of protein, and you'll have plenty. The only one anyone supplements with is as Muscleup already stated is glutamine

yeah I totally agree....don't waste money on AA bro. In case you didn't know....an AA (1000mg ) = 1 gram of protein. A shake has 50,000 mg!

glu is good though and you should take that when you are hitting some hard workouts or I use it before I do cardio since I don't eat before I do cardio....
