Should I add a BCAA supplement?

Hi Dan,

This product contains all of the amino acids you need pre-workout (all of the essential amino acids), along with arginine and citrulline (which boost nitric oxide / "NO"). It also contains caffeine and green tea - both research-proven to increase exercise performance. The only slight negative is that I've never been a fan of the amino acid taurine (which is the most prominent amino acid in this formula) because there is only a small amount of research to support its effectiveness for bodybuilders and athletes.

Otherwise I think this is one of the best pre-workout formulas for muscle-building and recovery. Also, the use of green tea is overlooked by so many supplement companies as a pre-workout ingredient - studies are starting to establish is as a solid performance-enhancer.

One thing to be aware of with this formula is that because it only has 5 grams of the various amino acids, you'd need to take at least 2 and ideally 3 servings to get the full effective dosage of essential amino acids that has shown such a powerful ability to increase the muscle-building process when taken before training. The product does recommend taking up to three servings for full potency.

Just wondering what are free forming aminoacids? and are they good or bad for pre workout? thanks
