I'll play because this post reminded me to take my vitamins before bed.

Optimum nutrition from amazon

ebeth - what time of day do you take your BCAA? My nutritionist recommends after every workout.

I take them after dinner with the rest of my vitamins when I remember. I workout right before dinner. So while pst workout, it's not like I roll into the house and take BCAA right away.

After long runs I have hammer recoverite almost immediately. That has a lot of the same amino acids in it. Or you could try something like amino vital too.

H takes these after workouts:



He's a national athlete and was told by one of his coaches to buy these, so presumably it's a decent brand.

I get it from amazon. 2 scoops after a workout....sometimes I'll sip on it during a wod.

Any flavors you would recommend? I see you have the watermelon flavor but I'm not a huge fan of watermelon.

The fruit punch is good, not as sweet as the watermelon. Blue raspberry is good too but a little sour. Haven't tried the others yet.

I dilute mine with a little more water then it says just for extra hydration and so the flavor is less in your face!
