BCAA And Taurine Question

[evansss]

I just purchased a bottle of BCAA and taurine. Both capsules. The BCAA is MET-RX Hardcore 2200 (just got the cheapest one) and has the following nutrients:

Per 4 Softgels

Vitamin E 8 IU
Vitamin B-6 16 MG
L-Leucine 1,200MG
L-Isoleucine 500 mg
L-Valine 500 MG

That means its about 2 grams of BCAA per 4 Caps

The taurine has 500 MG a capsule.

My question is people are suggesting taking as much as 5g's of taurine and 15-20 grams of BCAA...I Cant imagine i have to take that many capsules (it'd be like 30) and the same for the taurine. what goes on?

Next time buy from True Protein and you can get instantizedbcaa powder and taurine powder by the pound for cheaper than anything you would get at a supplement store. Then you can just put it in a shake and drink instead of eating tabs. 1 lb of taurine powder is $10 and 1 lb of bcaa powder is $21

so these caps are worthless basically?

Not at all.

Because people use 5-20g it is best to buy powder.

Use the pills that you have and next time think about picking up some powder instead.
