Why are BCAA so expensive??

[Hampy71]

Just looking at some BCAA and can't believe how expensive they are. Scivation xtend £38 per kilo!!!!! How long would that last, about a week??
Chain'd out £35 for 500g!!! Fvck me I would want this stuff to work like spinach to popeye for that price!!!

are you taking over 100g bcaas a day?

Ok I was exaggerating but I take around 40-50g per day

A combo of BCAA and EAA if takign a lot would be good imo

Buy Essential Amino Acids from BulkSupplementsDirect.co.uk

Prices from bulk companies are all quite alike but you will find with BSD that its micro fine powder and despite it mixing crap as many of these aminos do not disolve properly in water....its a lot better imo

Well yeah its going to work out expensive. Not sure on prices but you checked unflavoured bulk? from MP, BSD?

add some berry blast flavouring and it tastes really good. how come your taking so much? most i use is 30g a day of bcaa

If cost is an issue, just buy the raw powder.

I buy it from Bulk powders and mix with a tiny bit of lime juice, makes it taste fine.

I was told on here that around 15g 3 x a day is ideal so on non training days I take 15g first thing in morning, 15g mixed in juice during the day and 15g before bed. Training days I take it all around workout and before bed!! Is that too much then?

I bought from bulk powders just to try it but it tastes like dried monkey foreskin and battery acid!! Hence looking at this other stuff but can't justify paying that for it!

Honestly try out myproteins berry blast flavouring. could make a corpse taste good lol just add in around 2g flavouring to anything. Used it cause i sip bcaas through workout and couldnt stomach it normally

 

[CJ]

Yeah, it certainly isn't nice but its completely fine with a bit of lime of lemon juice

Even that rancid fish guts flavour from bulk powders is £38 a kilo. Same price as xtend!! Maybe I'll just make do with what is already in my whey!!

I only run 15mg's a day and it last me bloody ages, which gives good value for money

Simple really... if you don't feel something is worth it then don't buy it.

My supp shopping list consists of whey, dextrose, CEE and cissus. Not saying other supplements don't work, but there is no way I'm spending £100+ pm on them.

not suprised at 15mg per day pmsl....1 kilo should last you until 2020 most likely
