The BCAA's l-leucine, l-isoleucine and l-valine are probably the most essential amino acids for athletes in training. They account for 33% of muscle protein. Some experts beleive that even moderate exercise can increase your body's need for leucine by up to 240% By taking Reflex Nutrition BCAA's before and after exercise you can increase nitrogen retention, boost protein synthesis and protect your muscles from the stress and trauma of heavy exercise.
Take 6 capsules 30-40 minutes before training, and another 6 immediately after training.

Hi Yzar
Yes they are.

I currently take cnp pro mass and smart tech creatine, i was wondering if bcaa's can be taken with them? i was also looking at taking l-glutamine aswell. the pro mass already says it contains amino acids though.
Hi Philip
Yes thats fine. Keep drinking loads of water tho.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi guys.In your opinion which would be the best to take; reflex BCAAs or extreme nutition aminos to help build lean mass. I take all american efx kre-alkalyn before and straight after training. Would it be safe to take one of these as well as the creatine? thanks shaun
Hi Shaun
Yes they work well with creatine. I would recomend the reflex.
Kind regards
Danny
Hi, how should you take these amino acids with whey protein. I usually take a protein shake before and after training. If i replaced this with the caps how many shakes would i take and when?
Hi Craig
Yes take them before and after training.
kind regards
Danny
Do you no what ratio these amino acids are?? Normally 3:1:1 but some cheaper amino acids are 2:1:1
Hi George
I would go for the 2:1:1 ratio.
Can i take these with phd synergy b4 and after training? i take synergy 1 hour b4 training and straight after look forward to ur reply cheers
Hi yes you can, you are using the synergy perfectly, just add the bcaa's 15 minutes pre training and either during or immediately after the workout. thank you JB
Have these got a nutritional breakdown anywhere? Need to know if they contain protein and if so any calories? Need to keep an eye on my intake as put on fat very easily!
there is no nutritionaly breakdown, their breakdown is leucine, iso-leucine and valine, that is what they are. they are pure branch chained amino acids, they dont contain carbs or protein because they are part of the building blocks of protein. they physically cannot be stored as fat.
best regards
I have a protein shake before and after the gym. If I used this product would you recommend it instead of, or as well as my protein shakes?
Hi as well as the shake these will just be faster in the body, thay can be used during training if you are having a long session, thsnks
Hi, just wondering which bcaa/amino acid product you would say was the best. reflex bcaa's, phd bcaa's or maximuscle promax aminos. thanks
Hi Ken all are good brands, i use the PHD BCAA's and have had great results so i would definately recommend them
What is the calorie content per pill - if any at all?
Hi there is less than 4 cals per cap
Around how many grams of BCAA's in are each cap?
all information is available on the product info: http://monstersupplements.com/store/p/506/1/Reflex-BCAAs---500-caps.html
Should i still take a protein shake post workout after taking these? thanks
yes i would recommend it. -AC-
Hi, do you know how much each capsule weighs in grams? Thanks
1 capsule provides; L-Leucine 250mg L-Isoleucine 125mg L-Valine 125mg Vitamin B6 0.2mg. the gelatin could weigh anything so its impossible to estimate that. the ingredients add up to 500mg. -AC-
I am currently taking reflex whey 3 times a day with phd methoxy 7, one month on and off the methoxy 7. Am I ok to take an amino supplement as well, if so which 3 would you recommend the most?
Dear Jay,
Yes you can take Amino Acids also. The best 3 aminos i would say are:
Gaspari Amino 6000
Sci MX BCAA nanostack
PhD BCAA/Reflex BCAA.
Dave
Hi i am 18 and trying to keep the weight off but still put muscle on i take PHD pherma whey protein down to it being the best overall for a begginer like me are these good to take before and after and how many shoulod i take and what time and are they good to take for muscle growth thank you david
Dear David,
BCAAs will help prevent muscle breakdown and catabolism when training. I would suggest taking 6 caps before training and 6 caps straight after training.
