[QUOTE="Troponin, post: 15225914, member: 162938"] BCAAs are found in all lean meats. If you are getting an adequate amount of protein, then you are getting more than enough BCAAs. Therefore, if you have to supplement them, your diet is bad. There is only one circumstance in which BCAAs could help, and that's if you are having a lot of appetite issues and cannot force feed yourself enough lean meats. I have been there a couple times and had to start supplementing B12, hoping that I was deficient in that vitamin, and BCAAs. While dieting though, appetite is usually good enough to get the protein I need. There are only two real supplements that have been tried and true, tested and retested, and have a track record solid enough to prove over and over that they are good, and that's whey and caffeine. Keep in mind though, the FDA doesn't regulate supps, so the nutritional labels can be off. This is why it's important to get 85%, or more, of your nutrition from real foods. Hell, even processed foods, which are regulated by the FDA, are better than supplements. (In before whey is processed!) I have been in this industry for going on 15 years. I have seen steroids, prohormones, prosteroids, ephedrine etc, all sitting on a GNC shelf at one time. Those were the days that supplements worked! haha! Now, the FDA has cut all ingredients from all supplements that were deemed "unsafe". You know what's ironic? The ones deemed "unsafe" were the few that actually worked. What made them unsafe was people using supra doses and causing nasty side effects, even death in some cases. I digress. Go to all foods, track what you eat, get the right macros, and you will suddenly see how little those supplements made a difference. [/QUOTE]
