Also

I've read that it is best to take them on an empty stomach. Better absorption.
As for when, pre and post workout is the most important times.
I also take very large amounts DURING my workout when I'm dieting for a show. Really helps preserve the muscle mass.

I always liked TWINLAB Amino Fuel Liquid-Id get the 64oz jug and just gulp some. For real.

I use Musashi BCAA and Men's Amino formulas

www.musashi.com.au

I prefer using aminos with some carbs better than whey protein before and after training.

 

[dragonfire101]

The recommended dose on the bottle

you need about 20 gm each time you take them in the day if your around 200pnd.


so i take 20gm pre and immediatly post workout or my last set. then 40 min lateri take my whey/carb drink. the aminos i use are assimalated in 10 min. i get them at infinityfitness.com

 

[preist943]

I take 5g per hr while at work so I always have some in my system

 

[RicPhoenix]

how much?

How did you estimate your amount to take ?

 

[preist943]

No real estimate just the fact I want protein in my system at all times. After a high protein meal you flood the system with protein but then it falls before the next. I feel that if you use a few grams every hr you will better be able to stay in positive nitrogen Balance

Beef Aminos

Hit Phil up for some information on his beef aminos. They are absolutely one of the best supplements I have ever used.
