Positive experiences
“BCAAs can help with feeling tired in the gym. I use to use (before I ran out) All Day You May.”
“some things that helped me get over chronic fatigue ... BCAAs”
“Creatine, Taurine, and Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's), since they appear to allow me to recover faster from workouts.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I noticed the connection for me when supplementing with bcaa’s even before I knew about the correlation. I stopped taking them because of it.”
“People hate on BCAA's but I always feel they help me get through a long gym session”
“I've found that my Doms have been far less painful/non existent since I've started taking BCAA's.”
“I think the general consensus is that they’re BS, even when fasting.”
“I would drop the BCAAs as well. They're nice, don't get me wrong, but I've supplemented with them myself and I don't think they're worth the money”
“I think BCAAs are a waste of money tbh.”
