I'm trying to figure out if you can throw the ratio of Leucine: Isoleucine: Valine out of whack by megadosing Leucine. Not that you'd have any side effects, but I'd think that there would be absorption issues.

That's the reason I prefer taking all 3 together.

ahh ok, I'm trying to find where I can buy the other amino's on the cheap. Thanks for responding.

You guys have to suck it up with this nasty tasting supplements talk. Just this afternoon I took 15 grams (1 tablespoon) of pure BCAA by mouth, just threw all 15 grams in, then chugged some water. Does it taste bad? YES. Thats how it goes though. LIke I have said before, go find some powdered CEE, take 5 grams of concentrate, when you can do that, and not gag, or spit it up, then you can take anything.

atw sells capped bcaa, and primaforce has a nice bcaa mix - although it doesnt mix well, it is definitely drinkable, and works.

I also have BCAA's unflavoured , one teaspoon is 5000mg I take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day ,just like maximus put in mouth and take a drink of water, used to it now.
