I was curious as to the bros that use these in addition to protein powders if you have seen a difference in your anabolic state? I have considered using them for an "in-between meals" supplement to keep my body saturated with amino's. As far as I have been concerned thus far I get the aminos I need from my protein powder, but I would like to hear others take on this. later, ------------------      | ||

WCP, I just popped 20 500mg caps of L-Tryptophan, that comes out to 10gm and more expensive than most juice. Haha, let me think...... 180 caps cost $69.95 and 10gm a day comes out to a nine day supply at $7.772 per day from biochemicals.com. I'll tell you guys how I feel on Monday. Do a search on it an you'll find some interesting stuff on this amino acid.... it's not just a sleep aid. | ||

I squirt some amino fuel into my mouth before a workout, to keep a good anabolic/catabolic ratio. | ||

Unless you're using specific free-form aminos or BCAAs for a specific purpose, it's just not cost-effective. Any regular protein source would be preferable in terms of protein ingested to cash spent. | ||

I as well use to take some Amino tablets along with protein and other suppliments. As cash got tight I had to cut somethings out and the Aminos were first to go. I did not miss them. With enough protein from various sources I am getting the Aminos I need. ------------------ | ||

I think when dieting down with lots of cardio, or if you can just afford them all the time, they can't "hinder/hurt" anything. Optimum makes some good caps, not too expensive, I think they're called 2222's...BUT I WOULDN'T TAKE THE FREE FORM WITHOUT FOOD, THAT'S NOT NATURAL AND I READ AN ARTICLE THAT SAYS THAT CAN BE VERY POISONOUS! Am I off-base with that?? ------------------ | ||

They mak me feel harder, and i take about 20/day, ten before bed. I'm thinking that if you get enough of em before you sleep, it really aids in recovery. | ||

Amino acid tabs are a complete scam. It is just marketing sematantics. They are trying to sell you the sam thing (protien) using differnt words. Don't be fooled. They are just protien fractions supplied in tab form. Any healthy individual can benefit both physiologically and finacially from plain protien powder. Free form aminos in high concentrations on the other hand are a completely diffenent issue. BCAA's, Glutaimine, arginine/ornithine, trytophan, and tyrosine are all good examples of beneficial free froms. | ||

I take in around 300 grams of protein per day. So, I don't see any benefit in taking amino acids...Two possible exceptions could be BCAA's and L-Glutamine, at least when dieting. ------------------ | ||

If you guys have good protein shakes you won't need the pills. I get my protein from proteinfactory.com and it's the best around (PENTA PRO) ------------------ |
