Default Not sure
I've not heard of that brand, but I personally use Optimum Nutrition BCAA's. I'm trying to put on muscle mass now for a figure competition and thus started using this in addition to protein shakes.

What about the Amino Acids that come in my ON protein shake? Do I need more? There are roughly 4g of BCAAs in my shake out of the tub.

RLR, the 4g is a start, but isn't going to make much of a difference. You need to supp with additional BCAAs to notice a significant difference. Some folks will recommend 20-30g a day, even more.
I use the ON BCAA 5000 powder. Although nasty tasting, it helps. Just spoon it in, and chase with water.

Another vote for Scivation. Green Apple is the flavor I like best so far.

Get a tub of gatorade mix and throw some in with the BCAA powder when you mix with water... thats what i do and it takes the nasty taste away.

Geez, sort of have me spooked now. Well I can tolerate the taste of glutamine with no problem. And I can even tolerate the taste of GNC Megaman multivitamin pills b/c I have to break them in half.

Take into account I am a whiskey drinker (Crown Royal and Canadian Club) and Im feeling a little better about drinking those ON bcaas, plus Id be mixing it with something if its bad, but obviously not whiskey lol.

How much are you guys paying for ON BCAAs, is 30bucks for 336 grams sound overpriced where Im getting it?

Depends, are you getting it shipped or picking it up directly at/from a store? I think I payed a total of 25-27 bucks (including shipping) for the 30 serving tub (390 g's) of Xtend.
