How Many Calories are in BCAAs? The ISSN’s Dr. Doug Kalman Knows
The label says “zero calories” or doesn’t mention calories at all… so those BCAAs are calorie-free and guilt-free, right? WRONG.
Several studies have mathematically calculated the number of calories in the branched-chain amino acids, but nobody’s ever taken a tub of unflavored, third-party tested branched chain amino acids and published data from a bomb calorimeter. […]

EAA is the New BCAA: Essential Amino Acids Stage a Coup
“BCAAs vs. EAAs?”
For quite a while, that was the big argument. Over the decades, branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) supplements have been some of the most popular (and profitable) products on the market. Catapulted into the spotlight by some early — and somewhat questionable — research, along with a lot of savvy marketing, BCAAs quickly […]

Muscle Elements Post Pro: Post-Workout Recovery in a Hurry
Since launching in 2013, Muscle Elements has been synonymous with top-notch quality supplements, as evidenced by their 3rd-party lab-tested protein powder, T.R.U.T.H., and monster pre workout PreCre (or PreCre XS if you’re into higher caffeine).

ProSupps HydroBCAA: A BCAA with All the Essentials!
We’ve been touting the superiority of EAAs over BCAAs heavily lately as most of the recent research indicates that BCAAs are altogether inferior for stimulating muscle protein synthesis and preventing muscle protein breakdown.[1]
That being said, the vast majority of companies out there are still only making BCAA-only amino acid supplements due to the cheaper […]

VMI Sports Aminogex Ultra — Not Your Standard BCAA
A while back, we introduced you to VMI Sports and their high-stim pre workout K-XR. On that note, if you haven’t used K-XR yet and you love your caffeine, then it’s a must-try high-energy pre workout – some of it’s the smoothest-feeling 400mg of caffeine we’ve ever felt. Anyway, we’ve been tracking things behind the […]

Sparta Hydra8 BCAA (Discontinued, Hurry and Get It!)
We’ve covered the burgeoning energy aminos market here on PricePlow over the past couple of years, and for the most part, most of these products are about the same — a few grams worth of amino acids (hopefully primarily BCAAs) and a hit of caffeine (usually around 100mg).
