Hi, just have a very basic newbie question about BCAA powder here. I have bought some like Xtend (just giving an example) that will not dissolve in water no matter how much you stir it or shake the bottle. Then others will dissolve completely with only a couple of swirls of the spoon.

Does it mean that the ones that dissolve completely are inferior? I have read somewhere that BCAAs are not water soluable. (sp? spelled it wrong I know)

Thanks for the replies. Always here to learn.
 
Leucine is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. The more leucine the less it will dissolve. However, if you let it sit for a little while the amino acids tend to go into solution a little better.

This, I have just a BCAA supp, does not mix at all because of Leucine. No matter how much I shake it just chills at the top haha. I let it sit for 15 mins before tryin to drink.
 
forzaone has a BCAA that tastes like tang and mixes instantly
 
kyowa and ajinomoto are the only, i know, that mix instantaneous.

all the others need more water and a bit of time.

i take 10gr bcaa+5gr leucine shake in 600-700ml water and keep it in the fridge for 10-15min.. still there will be some rests, but u can drink it..

usp labs mixes better than most that I tried, but I just use whatever. I just with some glycerol and some Gatorade pre-workout.

x2. I use ajipure aminos and they mix pretty well and stay that way. Maybe a little shake every once in a while if I leave it out a little longer.
 
I use TN BCAA plus. Mixes well and tastes good too. Anyone else use this?

Yessir! Love it!

I also buy the ajimoto amino acids from TN and instantized EAAs. But BCAA plus limeade is delicious.
 
Ok, I best get over to TN and get my hands on some of those.

Currently I have Cytosport Monster Aminos which has 3500mg Leucine peptides, 3500mg L-Leucine, 500mg Isoleucine, 500mg Valine (and various mg of the other aminos)

It mixes completely with 1-2 twirls of the spoon.

Before this I used Xtend and Bodytek by Vitamin Shoppe (3gm Leucine, 1g L-Leucine, 1g Valine) and these two products would just stick to the sides of the glass and for a gritty "suds" type file at the top.

Do you mean limeade like I would buy in the grocery store (frozen can to mix with water)? Or another product. Looking at TN website now and don't see it. (Limeade)
 
i would be wary of any label that says it has 7 grams of leucine yet mixes instantly with a spoon......
