I was actually serious about the question.  Anyone here take them?

Stack them with creatine and vitargo for a 8 weeks cycle, but make sure you have PCT on hand (glutamine and kitkats), and in case some serious side effects come on, take some protein.

Hardcore stuff, but you can expect 384924824.23454% more body muscle growth.

No need for them. Whey does the same thing.

people are so stupid, this huge dog is essentially pressing its enormous bare anus onto the couch cushions and probably all over the rest of the house, and yet she will wonder where the worms came from.

I've read a bunch of times that they were popularized in the 80s because the early protein powders didn't provide a wide range of aminos, so they broke out amino supplements. They wheys of today give you all the aminos you need tho so they're now unnecessary.

You don't need that much protein anyway.

After years of non use I decided to take them again. I take a teaspoon of powder with some fruit juice before and after training and got stronger on it and feel less sore.

I think Layne Norton did a lot of research in this topic. If I remember correctly, he thought that you can replace some protein throughout the day with just BCAA's.

I take them if I'm eating a meal/snack without a good protein source. Like a cheap grilled cheese sandwhich and soup. I picked up some Amino 2222 tabs from GNC on closeout. You should see the size of these pills. If you have ever taken a Kirkland multivitamin, they are about 3 times the size.

The leucine content of a complete meal directs peak activation but not duration of skeletal muscle protein synthesis and mammalian target of rapamycin signaling in rats.

Abstract

This study examined the impact of leucine (Leu) derived from complete meals on stimulation of skeletal muscle protein synthesis (MPS). Expt. 1 examined time course changes in translation initiation and MPS after a meal. Male rats ( approximately 300 g) were trained for 5 d to eat 3 meals/d providing 20, 50, and 30% of energy from whey protein, carbohydrates, and fats, respectively. Plasma and skeletal muscle were collected at time 0 (baseline) after 12 h of food deprivation and then at 45, 90, 135, 180, and 300 min after a 4-g meal. Plasma Leu increased at 45 min and remained elevated through 180 min. MPS peaked at 45-90 min and returned to baseline by 180 min. Plasma Leu correlated with phosphorylation of ribosomal protein p70 S6 kinase (r = 0.723; P < 0.05), eukaryotic initiation factor 4E binding protein-1 (r = 0.773; P < 0.05), and MPS (r = 0.608; P < 0.05) over time. Expt. 2 examined 3 levels of protein intake (10, 20, and 30% of energy) from 2 sources (wheat and whey) with different Leu contents ( approximately 6.8 and approximately 10.9%, respectively) on stimulation of initiation and MPS. Rats were trained to eat 3 meals/d providing 14, 56, and 30% of energy from protein, carbohydrates, and fats. On d 6, MPS was evaluated at 90 min after rats consumed 1 of the 6 test meals. Whey protein stimulated initiation and MPS more than wheat and the differential response related to greater plasma Leu responses in the whey groups. These studies demonstrate that peak activation but not duration of MPS is proportional to the Leu content of a meal.
