Im going to be making an order on some 10lbs or so of protein from true protein pretty soon, but I also would like to give one of their amino products a shot, i have been using - **broken link removed**
- for awhile now, they are raw and i usually mix m with crystal light or gatorade..
What product by tp is most similiar, is it there 4:1:1?
TP has a 4:1:1 BCAA product as well. The more leucine the better.
I usually put a spoonful on my tongue and wash it down the hatch with water. Be forewarned though... This may enact your gag reflex upon first attempt! Crystal Lite masks the taste, so that's a good alternative if you find the first method too unbearable.
personally i would never mix the leucine or BCAA's with the protein...Ive always felt protein over time is hard enough to stay "looking forward to drinking" so when you add things like creatine or BCAA's and it makes the taste "off" thats a negative.
So I always advise to separate those two.
Leucine and water get along like inlaws....it is extremely hydrophobic....it just doesnt mix well in water and wants to float to the top....the only way around this is with citruline malate or malic acid but even then it rarely stays in solution well. If you have leucine that doesnt mix well, you can be pretty assured of its purity. If it does mix well.....well you might be getting what you think you are getting.
In my opinion the best thing to do is either with BCAA Boost or one of the flavored 411's or even in crystal light mixed with bcaa powder---stir it up real quick and chug it down, then rinse the sides of the glass (residue) and chug that down.....and drink protein powder separately.
