Amino Acid and Weight Gain

[MarkT]

Hi guys, I have what may be a stupid question - but something I've wondered. I've been taking Amino Acid pills (Ultra Amino - Peptide 2000 with Whey Protein), would this at all make me hold on to any water or extra weight?

Again sorry if the question is a stupid one.

is there anything else in it? Not familiar with that supp, but i cant see why amino's would directly cause bloat...... are you takin creatine or did you by chance up your kcal content?

Hey thanks man, I can type out the breakdown for it when I get in from work if that helps. I'm not taking creatine or anything else with it.

If the whey protein is not a quality isolate, it'll probably contain a fair bit of lactose. But - I would think you'd need to take quite a few to affect you unless you're really lactose intolerant.
