BCAA Powder

[Who is Mike Jones?]

I have some unflavored BCAA powder that I am going to start taking throughout the day. (Roughly17-20 grams) What do you guys mix this stuff with? I tried crystal light and that crap floated on top and wouldn't mix. Is there a better liquid to use?

room temp water works fine for me it's tough to mix.. take 20 grams a day of bcaa or dont bother.

I find BCAA's taste very chemically. I ended up mixing mine in with a protein shake.

Either that or mix it and quickly chug it down before it floats to the top

itll mix, you just gotta shake it up real good. I always buy the grape flavored shit so i just mix it with straight water.

That much? I just started taking them, and like an idiot bought a bottle of caps before i did the research. They only give u about 3 grams at reccomended dosage. thats already 4 pills so im not gonna take take like 15 or so pills....guess ill get the powder next time.

Go with the opwder they are supposedly better absorbed anyway.. here's an article on them by probably the best strength coach in the nation. You can actually make the ratio he recommends 4-1-1- leuceine to isoleucine to valine at www.trueprotein.com

Ditto! ..Straight in the blender with my whey is the best method..IMO I put 10gm's in my morning protein shake, 5gm's in my pre-wo drink, and 5-10gm's in my PWO protein shake.
I've tried every way you can think of to mix it and the blender mix is the best.

shake or blend rigorously, let the mix set for about a minute or two, then re-shake or swirl lightly to put all "foam" back into solution/liquid form.
