Capping Bulk BCAA's

MisterChristian · 11-10-2007, 07:50 PM

Does anyone here cap their own bulk BCAA's? How difficult is it? Do they work well in the capped form versus dissolving them in water and spreading the intake out? Has anyone used flavoring systems to use with Bulk BCAA's? It seems so much more economical buying them in bulk then buying a product like Purple Wraath or ICE, but those at least taste decent, dissolve, and seem to work well.

I don't really think capping is the way to go...each serving is typically 15 grams or so, which translates to an awful lot of really big pills every day.

I know Romanaz used TP's bulk BCAAs for a while, maybe he can chime in on how well it dissolves.

Rommie, anyone else with experience w/ Bulk BCAA's? Anyone have opinions on the best all around BCAA for decent $$?

Theoretically BCAAs should dissolve a litter better if you add something acidic to them...perhaps orange juice, grapefruit juice, or maybe some other type of drink mix that contains citric acid (lemon flavored drinks often use citric acid for flavoring). In all honesty though, I just throw some ice cubes in, shake, and let sit for about ten to fifteen and it's all good!

What about that crap you sprinkle on fruit so they dont turn brown when you cut them? I think thats ascorbic acid...maybe i'll give it a shot.

Its just vitamin C basically, although I wonder what the other crap in there would do.

I use about a Kilo of BCCA's every two months. I use 15grams in the morning and 15grams during workout. I've found the best way to mix it is to mix it with a packet of Crystal light or some other flavoring in 20oz of water. I know a lot of people will just use powerade or gatorated as well and sip on it during their workout.
