LBAs serving size

[finny]

I don't know if this has been covered before - couldn't find it, sorry if it has.

Is there a recommended serving size, ie. is it better to take less more often or it doesn't matter. Is 4 tablespoons at one time ok, or would it be better to split it into 2 each, 1 each?

I've read somewhere that with pure amino acids the less at any given time is better - something to do with a rebound after the aminos are absorbed (I think had something to do with absorption rates).

Thanks.

8oz throughout the day between meals.

Yeah, I wish I could afford 1/2 bottle a day. I'm using about 100ml out of a 473ml bottle.

Here is a quote by Dave Barr:
'Whey Hydrolysate: Better Than the Best?

So far we've been using pure amino acids as the gold standard for increasing muscle protein synthesis due to the rapidity of absorption, but it's becoming increasingly evident that it may be a little too quick for our liking. Sure, consuming pure amino acids will give us the quickest increase in blood amino acids and therefore protein synthesis, but this is followed by an equally drastic decrease once the aminos are all taken up.

Unfortunately, this rapid decline in blood amino acids is so quick that it actually becomes a catabolic situation (as seen in Figure 1) unless more amino acids are consumed to stop the decline (Borsheim et al., 2002). Now this is where whey hydrolysate really shines. It will give a rapid increase in blood amino acids similar to pure amino acids, but the decline isn't nearly as sharp so there's no worry about going into a catabolic state!'

Hence my original question. Does this theory, if you can call it that, apply to LBAs?

On the bottle, the serving size is 1 tablespoon, which is 15ml. I'm taking about 50ml at one time and am wondering if it would be better to split is into serving sizes (1 tablespoon) and have it throughout the day.

Thanks.

Yes.

Thanks Allex.

Yes go 15ml five times a day or 20 ml three times. I use 40-50ml five times a day

expense aside, is there any problem with taking too much (i.e., 165 lb. female 1/2 bottle or more/day)?

As Phil himself has mentioned before, no...
