Amino Acids

[max_rep]

Hi Bros,

still i do not understand why people pay for amino acid tablets.
If whey powder contains all the necessary amino acids in it why people pay to amino tablets ? since they are way too expensive when they are compared to whey powders.

I have never taken amino tabs before but aminos are different than protien podwers. Correct me if I'm wrong protien powder has to been broken down into amino acids before digested and aminos or amino tabs are ready to be digested. I could be way off....and these amino tabs are probably made up of three basic aminos and not all of the others. I would wait until one of the vets chime and can explain it better. I know one thing for sure though LBA's are better than whey protien and any other amino supplement on the market....period.

taking specific amino acids by themselves on an empty stomach is not the same as getting them with all the other amino acids in a protein powder

Agree completely.

NICE

THANK YOU!

You are completely correct. But like alot of the other posts said, there is no benefit to taking in one amino acid at a time. IMO, amino tabs are a waste of money.

Well

You are completely correct. But like alot of the other posts said, there is no benefit to taking in one amino acid at a time. IMO, amino tabs are a waste of money.

You guys are missing the point......No one in their right mind would take 1 amino acid tablet at a time to make a complete protein.......that is not the reason to do it.

Lots of people take essential (9 alpha) amino acids separate. The most talked about is BCAA's which is three of the nine.

In laymen terms it is an anabolic signal or regulator (BCAA's) that tell our muscles to consume the protein (all 20 amino acids binded together) running through our blood. IE. it tells our muscles to build, grow, repair.

If you just have the normal BCAA's that are in your steak or protein powder it won't elevate the amount of protein your muscles suck up as efficient as adding in several (prefer 40g) grams BCAA's would.

I've personally seen improvements all around when either taking in 15g with protein shake between meal (including before bed to stop muscle breakdown), and also 40g peri workout.


"Current research in dietary supplementation has targeted these catabolic times, attempting to minimize the catabolism and maximize the anabolism (including recovery, improvement, and/or growth). This research has demonstrated that essential amino acids (alone or with carbohydrates) ingested before, during, or after exercise promote huge increases in protein balance."

Phil,

Could you explain this in a little more detail?

Not that I am taking the tabs; I freaking love your EFX LBA's. Those are the BOMB.

I think we need to clarify if we are talking about 'amino acid' tablets with the 20 AA's or BCAA's with the 3.

But if we are talking about the 20 AA's it's retarded to take one tablet. IMO because all protein is is the 20 AA's (in the tablet) linked together in a chain by peptide bonds... so it's the same thing if your consuming protein. 20 AA's binded together = protein.

Great

I know you would
