Title: Just purchased BCAA powder
Post by: SirTraps on September 16, 2007, 04:29:29 PM
I checked the label and it would take 18 tablets of the GNC BCAA's to equal the same serving of powdered BCAA  ::)

     I usually take glutamine, BCAA prior to working out-drink a 40 gram protein shake during workout, then take BCAA again after workout.

Agreed.
Capsulated "anything" is more expensive, though sometimes much more convenient.
There are places that sell empty capsules and devices to fill them yourself. I suppose if you have the time to do it and the necessity for it, it may be worth your while and cut your costs some in the long run to buy a powder and fill your own caps.

There is about two things IMO that are worth capping unless you have a great scale:
1. Yellow Gold (AP "clone")
2. Trione (Generic 6oxo)
