Do you take your BCAA after meal immediately or during empty stomach? 20 years ago, bodybuilder said amino acid should take with empty stomach, what about today ?

[Nothin' but a peanut!!]

hey joey
personally ive never taken them however have read in various places that taking them on an empty stomach is best to to stop ur cortisol getting out of whack i personally think u should never have a truly empty stomach anyway so im not sure man

empty stomach or when dieting, As soon as you wake up take ECA stack wait 10-15 min and take bcaa's to thwart catabolism of muscle tissue during cardio. Night and day difference. Other than that especially during workouts or any activity where you are active just mix a little lemon juice or flavor of choice and 5 g's of bcaa's in your bottle. These are very important amino acids for muscle synthesis thus muy importante to have on hand during exercise.

bcaa are only good for post workout imo since your body need a complete protein to rebuild muscle,

[atomic247]

actually that is only partially correct. Branch chains are critical to combat catabolism=save the muscle from wasting away=keep and gain

I would say empty stomach
