BCAAs... Hype Job or Waste of $$ ?
It's always the extremes, right? One side saying BCAAs are amazing and one side saying that they are a colossal waste of cash and that you're literally pissing your hard earned money down the drain.
As with anything, it really depends on your expectations.
If you are looking for BCAAs to help build tons of muscle or shred fat off your body, well... you're going to be disappointed. There are a myriad of other things that are much better and much cheaper to accomplish those goals. So in that way, they are pretty much worthless.
But... if you struggle drinking enough water each day, BCAAs can flavor the water you drink and make it MUCH easier to drink a gallon or more a day.
Personally, it's a difficult task for me to drink the 1.5 gallons of water that I have as part of my nutrition plan. So I use the BCAAs every single day. Gets me a little extra protein in, which never hurts, and some additional electrolytes to help with true hydration after sweating it out in the gym. And it makes the task of drinking that amount of water so much easier.
So for me, they are worth every penny.
But again, it's all what you are looking to achieve by using them.
What are your thoughts? Anybody else here use BCAAs?
