I've been wondering what the appeal of supplementing with "branched
chain amino acids" is. I see them advertised in capsule form, claiming
to be "anti-catabolic". Wouldn't one get enough BCAA's from a decent
protien power drink? The powder I use contains all the same amino
acids (and more) than most of the seperate BCAA supplements contain.
What's the advantage to having additional BCAAs in capsule form?
Thanks
Dale

There is none, that I'm aware of. Just another supplement scam.
